If you're handy with electronics (or a friend is), you could hard-wire a good PC to your unit (it beats any IEC connector by far), although you may risk losing your warranty. I once had a friend make me up an IEC to two-pronged adapter, to use his power cord from the wall to the adapter, then plug the captive PC into the adapter--it gave some, but not all, of the filtering effect of his power cord. I did this with the electronic crossovers for my speakers--when I replaced that arrangement with a hardwired PC of similar quality there was a significant improvement, as you would expect if only because there were less connections. One cheap improvement you could do is to clamp a ferrite choke (get 'em at Radio Shack) over the captive cord right by the place it enters the unit; that gave me audible improvements about equal to the adapter setup for a pittance.
