Need quality flexible power cord for CD player....

Howdy All,

I have a good sounding system consisting of Quad 99 CDP cd player connected directly to a pair of Channel Islands VMB-1 mono-block amplifiers via the Quad's varible output. Speakers are Reference 3A mm DeCapos on sand/shot filled Sound Organization stands. Currently I use the highly regarded Audience PowerChord on the CD player, but it is a bit too stiff in the long strain relief area and it is difficult to use it with the light weight Quad on my narrow rack.

Cound someone recommend a good flexible power Cord that works well with digital front ends and is reasonably affordable? I would prefer to spend $100 or less (new or used) for a 3 ft. cable, but could spring for a bit more, if necessary.

Please don't turn this into a Power Cord/Snake Oil argument. I'm going to spend some money, so please, recommendations only and DIY is OK as long as it is an easy to construct kit or design.

Enjoy,

TIC

BMI Whale Supreme or BMI Orca powers cords are amazing on a CDP. Best cords of maybe 10 that I have tried in my system.
.
Just do a search on Audiogon by typing in BMI and you will find a few listings that will get you oriented. Feel free to email me off-line if I can be of any help.

Steve/ Reubent,

Sorry, I did not read the original post carefully enough. I somehow missed the $ 100.00 budget limit.
.
You can find the Whale Supreme used for as low as $ 350.00 - 450.00, but that is still way over Reubent's budget.
.
I will slow down and read more carefully in the future.
