Best Power Cord with CD Player-


McCormack DP2--matched with Conrad Johnson (power amp and pre), power conditioner, and Vandersteen Quatros--Question: have not found a power cord to tame down some of the "brightness" I find in system-my current mix of power cords are just too much for CD player or Phono-they are fine for Pre or Power Amp, but with CD Player they clamp down pretty much on the sound---I simply want a nice cord that is clear, clean but takes some of the "edge" off--not dumbing down the sound or blurring distinctions---but some finesse. I am sure somebody out there has plenty of opinions--

Hi Jafant,

Good advise ! Do I need to totally disconnect the other components? IC's and power cords from the system?

Hi Bluesnbike1954,

Any progress?
I also like Audience with CD players. I believe that the included power cord is usually not one selected by or designed by the engineers.
My vote is for the MAC (My Audio Cables) HC Power cord. It has helped out tremendously on the CDPs I've used them with and they won't break the bank. I think MAC also now has Source power cords that are an improvement on the HC Power cord.
