Cheap Powercords...worth the effort???

Mailman,PowerSnakes Sidewinder is $280 new will make very nice improvement,Cable Co has this in library if you want to try first,hard to find used but is going for $220. For cheap used we have HT ProAC 11 for $100-125 or SR Master Coupler $150-200 and if you don't like you can sell for what you paid used here. AC cord and proper isolation can make very noticeable difference even in $1000 CD player, AR Complete is nice unit, Sam

I love your amp!!!! That thing is amazing for the money. I recently purchased a Sonic Horizons power cable from HCM Audio. (HCMAudio.com) (or directly @ sonichorizon.com) The guys at HCM manufacture them themselves, so they're pretty inexpensive, and according to their literature, are designed to compete with much more expensive cables. They have a cable for every budget. (I got the Daybreak model, about $90, I think, for a 2 meter cable. They are a good place to start, as the cables can be returned if you're not happy. I've heard that power cable swapping has it's greatest effect if you can change the source's power cable. My Rega Planet has a captive cord :( so I couldnt do this (my CJ preamp has a captice cord as well, darnit) But I did get improvement over the stock cable that came with my McCormack amp.

Try the MIT Z cord . A great cord for the money. I have 2 for sale at $50 each. Call me 770-514-4731 days

BTW G13 reminds me AR complete can be CDP or an integrated amp, if you have both start with CDP cord first, will produce largest improvement, Sam
