That takes a 20 Amp IEC right? Believe it or not I tried the Shunyata Python and Richard Grays good cord and the Gray beat it by a good deal. Better HF and image and properly stated bass. I too like you didn't like the Pythons bass, it was too much. Grays are $750 new and about half that here on A'gon.I now use one on all my gear including an MF Trivista SACD and two CJ amps.
