Nice Warm AC cord for a PLC


Hi everyone. Its been a lotta fun reading thru Audiogon and hearing about your experiences with your equipment. It sure helps in making decisions in trying new stereo stuff.

I'm looking for your experiences regarding power cords in line conditioners. I have a VansEvers Model 83 PLC. I absolutely love it! It makes my system sound wonderful (to my ears). I'd like to substitute the VansEvers cord with a bigger, fatter, juicier one, hopefully with a WARM sound.

Any suggestions? Thanks for reading this!

Mapleleaf, you can go to tweakshop.com website then click on accessories and a link for TG Audio will come up. It gives some good info on Both the HSR power cords and on Bob Crumps interconnects (of which I have one for sale).
Since Slowhand was kind enough to direct you to some info on the TG Audio products, all we have to do is worry about Luxor now. While they do show a website for Luxor in TAS, it is incorrect. They do have a toll free number though and it is 800 - 795 - 8975. They are located just outside of Chicago in a town called Skokie, so they would be Central Standard Time. If the 800 number doesn't work, you can look up their info here on Audiogon under the "manufacturers list". Their corporate trade name is Custom Power Cord Company. There is another number listed there that should go through, but isn't toll free. Sean

847-329-8975 is David Blair's # for Custom Power which is valid. Dave is great to talk with & will help you out if he possibly can, even to the point of building custom cords as he has done for me. While I liked his Model 11 on amps, the Top Gun HCFI is even better. For source component he has a different Top Gun model available, or will build you a "special" per your custom requirements. All of his AC cords are heavily shielded & filtered in standard configuration. They are not the cheapest around, but if you want quality & performance I highly recommend Luxor Group.
Something you might be aware of is that the capacitor based line filters are normally bright as the devil for about five days even if unplugged for a few seconds....If you want to try different power cords on the unit then allow the time or you will get a false reading of where the cord and filter are going......Kevin Haskins' Asylum cord would be a good match for the Vans Evers units keeping in mind I designed it twenty years ago and also pay Mike Vans Evers a royalty on the line filters I manufacture as mine are essentially a cherry picked version of Mike's design built to a higher standard.....
Yeah, I've seen the Custom Cords in the Music Direct catalog. Pretty pricey if a get a high current one to fit the PLC...worth it? Thanks for all the info so far. Any more suggestions always appreciated.

BTW, Mike Vans Evers is a REALLY GREAT GUY. I had the chance to chat with him on the phone before I bought the PLC and he was really helpful. What scares me most is this...my system sounded SOOOOO much better after the 83, I started obsessing about what more potential could be locked up inside, waiting to be brought out by cables, cords, etc. Wonder what Bob's PLC sounds like? Arrgh!!!! It never stops, does it?

Bob, did you design Kevin's cord or Mike's PLC 20 years ago? Not clear from your text.

Bob, thanks for emailing me. I think I'll look into your HSR i squared (spelling?). Would it be good for a PLC too?
