Aftermarket power cords for McIntosh amps/preamps

Just wanting to hear from McIntosh owners and those familiar with the MC402 amp and the C2200 preamp and their recommendations for some aftermarket power cords with price tags less than 350 USD used. I have a Cardas Golden Reference right now on the MC402 and a Harmonic Tech Fantasy Ac-10 on the C2200 preamp. Thank you. Dave.

If you are looking for fairly inexpensive (59.00 for 3 feet and 4.00 each extra foot.)

The Power cables are pretty nice 10gage wire. I have a 10ft one on my MC352 and I do notice a big difference compaired to the stock one. I am not sure how much better it would sound with a cable at twice the price.

I agree, I could never figure out why you would spend $2000 on a few feet of power cord when the next 100 or so feet to the breaker panel is romex at about a 1.00 a foot.

I went with the signalcable becuse I wanted to match the 10 gage wire (romex) I have dedicated all the way back to the panel. Its nice and costs what a power cord should.
