Good powercord for transports

I have tried serveral powercords on my Sonic Frontiers transport, eg. Shunyata Black
Mamba / Viper V2, and XLO. I went back to the stock powercord and got
better overall sound, tonal balance and more air. I know for a fact that
powercords do change the sound. I have aftermarket powercords on all
my components, except the transport which I am unable to find a good
match. Any suggestions on a powercord that can produce an airy, rich,
transparent, detail, with good high and low extension. Price is not a
factor but good sound is.

Hi FatParrot,
What kind of sound did the Custom Power Cord's "Top Gun" produced on your transport? I maybe interested in buying one of those. Also for Adsal, have you tried the JPS Aluminata powercord? How does it sound. This is also on my list. Or if anyone else have any good suggestions.

For sheer transparency - go with a Synergistic Designers Reference PC on your transport.

Imported by Fanfare International. I've bought (and use) several of them.

Hi,
Take a look at the Voodoo Mana power cords US$199! For the price, good sound & construction! I'm using it with my Theta transport & Monolithic power supply! Took away alot of grunge and gave me what you're looking for! Also, their lower model, the Mojo is also good at US$149. Sound wise, everything is the same except that it is smaller in gauge and as such, has very slightly less bass & midbass energy compared to the Mana!
Enjoy,
Ramesh

Hello Waynek2005! The sound can best be described as having a "black background" with every nuance of the music coming through. Compared to the price of some of the other cords mentioned, the price for the Top Gun is a BARGAIN! It is also an Absolute Sound Golden Ears Award Winner. Happy Tunes!
