need help on choosing right power cord!

The power cord thing has had me either intrigued or quizzical for some time. Or, it has my head all #@%&^! up! Let's say that I was to put something like TG Audio cords,(reasonable and favorably reviewed by my compadres), in all of my components that allow power cord switches (Monarchy Audio transport, Resolution Audio Quantum DAC -- it needs two cords --, McCormack DNA1 Deluxe and Martin Logan CLSII's -- can't add power cords to the Audible Illusions Modulus 3). So, people, we're talking 6 power cords at $??? per cord. What sonic differences should I expect to hear? Do I replace all at the same time? Do I drive myself nuts by %^#$$^ around with replacing the cord(s) on each component and try to figure out whether to go with each individual upgrade or stay with the OE cord? My system is making music -- everything seems to work pretty well together. I'm saving my pennies to buy a big balls tube amp for the CLS's but would upgrade power cords in the meantime if it makes a big difference. Does it? Sometimes I think that heroin would be less expensive and far less frustrating. Thanks in advance.

Hunglo, I would have to agree with Fhydrant, the EEl is very tough to beat. For what it is worth I tried several cords with my Cd50 from the cheap (MIT) to the ridiculous (Viper) and found this cord to be a great match and an even better value. I have an extra available if you want it I just recently ditched my line conditioner and am running out of the wall with equally good results. email me if interested.

Hi Hunglo; I use a Syn. Res. Master Coupler (SR/MC) on my McCormack DNA-2DX with good results. If you don't already know it, The DNA-2 amps use the larger 20 amp receptacle, and not all power cords are available in the 20 amp configuration. I had to special order one, through a Synergistic dealer-- that's a minor downside of this otherwise great amp. I was able to try a Shunyata Sidewinder (in 20 amp)-- it was very quick, but had lightweight bass, and I much preferred the SR. I ended up putting the SR/MCs on everything but want to try some others. I think many companies will make up 20 amp cords for you, but I seldom see them used. Good Luck. Craig.

Can anyone tell me the web site for FIM and EE1 power cord. Is the FIM is a model or a brand?? Many Thanks!!

Brulee: wrote text above (Djin) but would like to know why you upgraded in some specific terms what you noticed as the change? How was your EMC 1 stock?? (Mine came with European cord so I had to use 14ga "Belden" shielded--the AudioAsylum fave--and wonder what I would encounter with a custom 8=8ft cord? Thanks
