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.

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!
