Power cord and Sony SCD-1

Anybody have any experience with a good power cord to use with a Sony SCD-1. I have thought about the JPS labs Digital AC and PS Audio Lab II, the latter I understand is discontinued. Any thoughts would be appreciated. I want to stay in the price range of the above mentioned cords that being under $500.00 new. Also the voodoo power cords look pretty good but I have not found much information on how they sound, any comments.

Thanks, Chuck

I have the Sony SCD-1 and use the Pure Note Sigma, $300. Sounds better than some cords that cost many more dollars.

I just tried a power cord by a local designer in NYC on my Sony SCD-777ES. I own the JPS Digital, Audience, TG Audio SLVR, Elrods, Foundation Research, JPS Power AC, etc and for $200 it was hard to ignore. Beat the lower priced cords and was pretty competitive on the others.

Email me and I will get you the info

The Sony SCD-1 has the AC polarity reversed as I recall so confirm this and order your power cords acordingly to fix this problem.....

I'd suggest either the TG SLVR at the high end of your price range (which is the most I want to spend on these things as well) or the cable Bigkidz is referring to, a very well-thought-out design at a comparatively low price with which I am replacing all my non-TG SLVR cables, as they sound quite similar in my system and are all FLEXIBLE, a big point for me. Still haven't had a shootout between the two, but comparing power cords isn't my cup of tea. You can e-mail me about the "mystery cords" as well, if you'd like.

I own the SCD-1. I have tried both the ELrod EPS-2 and the NBS Monitor II with excellent results.

I don't know what Rcrump is talking about. My SCD-1 works fine with the standard power cord configuration.
