Power cords for ModWright SCD-XA5400es

I've owned the Modwright 5400 for quite a while now. It's a giant killer and you'll be happy you pulled the trigger on the upgrade!!!

Most OEM power cords are inexpensive 16ga. junk. I replaced both power cords(sony & power supply) with inexpensive 14ga. Beldens and am very pleased with the improvements. Rather than pissing your money away on over-priced power cords, your money would be much better spent upgrading a couple of your wall outlets to 20 amp service. The sonic improvements will be far greater!

I'd definitely replace the stock umbilical with Dan's "Truth" umbilical. He discounts it if purchased with the mod and you'll get across the board improvements.

I had 2 MW Dacs and found Elrod Statement II and Shunyata Python CX PCs are excellent with them.

Currently using HiDiamond Power 3 on my new dac but suspect it will also work well with the MWs. From experience, PCs are as important as any components in your system for great sound.

I agree with the suggestion about the "Truth" Umbilical cable.

I like the sound of the Synergistic Research Hologram D on the ext power supply, and the SR Precision AC on the player. Your better cable should be used on the ext power supply.

For similar reasons, it's better to replace the 5AR4 rectifier tube before you try different 6SN7 output tubes.

Try an Audience power cord.

i have not heard every power cord that has ever been designed, but i have heard many. to my ears, my favorite is the ps audio lab--the original.

i am so confident of the sonics of this cord, that i would be willing to take part in a blind test, to confirm my preference.
