Power Cords--Your Preference?

I agree. When I've bought amps second hand the sellers don't even bother to include any kind of power cord. I was thinking eventually most manufacturers won't be including a PC or maybe make an option to have a PC included. Although most stock power cords are really inexpensive.

You got me thinking about the stock power cords. Who knows maybe they aren't so bad? The stock power cord that came with one of my amps has the same exact markings as the Volex 17604 power cord that I purchased from Newark not too long ago. I had read about the Volex 17604 PC and how good it was for the money. So who knows right off the bat you may be getting a quality power cord with your amp/gear.

Thanks for the information about the MAC Burlys. I'm making some notes to myself so I don't forget later. I just want to confirm some things. You and your buddy's systems that had the MAC Burly PCs installed are similar gear wise and sonic wise? When you both had the Burly power cords was it installed on your front end equipment or on the amp(s)? I took at your system and it is quite nice. Could it have been the Burly didn't mate well with your Almarro amp?

I like Oyaide PCs. At least among the ones I've tried.

I currently use Cardas Golden Reference on my CD player with good results. Per your findings I might try something else?

I've been very happy with Jorma Designs on amp, pre and digital.

I never heard the Burly in my system. I just took his word for it. I trust what he said about it and didn't bother buying one. There are a lot of people that like that PC, but it didn't work out in his system, so I passed.
