Cheap Powercords...worth the effort???

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

Just recently tried the Analysis Plus Power Oval power cords at $260. Very big improvement over stock cords, and better than the Custom Power Cord Co Model 11, Sidewinder, and Synergistic Master Coupler in my system.

I am new the this cord/cable business like yourself. Just (yesterday) I replaced the stock cord on a CAL Ikon MKII with a used Harmonic Tech. Pro II PC ($125.00) and it was well worth it. The CAL now compares favorably to players (with their stock cords) that sell for up to a $1000.00 more. I intend to upgrade the cord to the power supply on my amp (needs to be hardwired) when the warrenty expires.
