Power Cords for Spectral equipment

Hello again everyone. First off, thank you to everyone who responded to my post re/CDP isolation. Today, I am once again in need of advice in which I have little to no experience. I would like to hear your recommendations on power cords for my Spectral DMC 20 Series II preamp and DMA 200 power amp. I am currently using the stock power cords. I know from their website that Spectral recommends using MIT Z cords (I or II). Are there any other cords that may work better? I don't know if this is important, but I am using all MIT MI 350 Reference IC's and MH 770 CVT Twin speaker cable. Thanks.

Well cornfedboy, pretty strong opionion. I doubt MIT/Specral purchasers are self dillusional, that's such a broad generalization and stereotypical remark that I don't see how your opinion could have any merit. Usually when someone hates a product as much as you hate MIT it is usually more than an objective opinion. There are plenty of happy MIT users like myself who suffer through fog and choking because we are all apparantly self dillusional. The good thing is self dillusional customers get a 20% discount on Wednesdays on MIT wire.

Check out the current issue of Audio Critic's "Top Ten Lies in Audio Industries". I think Power Cord is one of them.

It sounds like Cornfedboy came to his conclusions by comparing MIT to the other mentioned cables. I think Cornfed is being of help by his conclusions. If you don't make the comparisons yourself then I am sure you can be happy with MIT. Do the comparison yourself and I am sure you will come to the same conclusion that Cornfedboy did. I think Cornfedboy's opinion has real merit. At least Cornfedboy did the A B comparisons and I figure that is why he can say what he says.

Chatbe, How do you know what is a lie if you don't investigate for yourself. Try one of the better PCs and find out for yourself what is true.

Brulee, I have AB'd several brands, Kimber, Cardas, Audioquest, and Tara to name a few. I don't get congestion and fog and MIT Z II doesn't "choke" my amp either and I've compared it to other brands as well, Synergistic, Cardas, EEL Ref. If you don't prefer MIT fine, that's your prerogative, but don't assume my taste is your taste.
