Power cords for ModWright SCD-XA5400es

I cross-posted this also in the Digital forum.

I just pulled the trigger on upgrading my stock Sony XA5400es with the ModWright mods.

For those of you that have done the mod, what type of power cords did you end up considering and ultimately using? Or did you stay with the stock cords? Are the power cords for the new separate power supply and the player the same brand/model?

TIA,

I recently plugged a LessLoss original into the PS of the Sony and was surprised at how natural and full vocals became. It you have a tight and analytical sound and want a bit more warmth you might like this cord.

It has been my experience that the ModWright power supply is more responsive to power cord changes than the player per se. The VooDoo Audio Vector Dragon is very good going to the power supply on the ModWright Sony.

It would be interesting to hear some of the bigger companies' power cords...Transparent, Audioquest, Nordost or MIT...

Janfant, I suspect Dan Wright has run that experiment already. If he uses VooDoo at the shows, there is probably a reason.
I have a buddy who is going to lend me a couple of VH Airsines for a couple of weeks. That will be an interesting experiment. Possibly an expensive one as well. :)

Anyone wish to update this thread ?
I would be interested in reading about the gains made w/ PC on the 5400ES.

Happy Listening!
