I don't have the Mephisto, but I do have the Enkianthus X2 dac and the Mephisto 2 transport. The best cord I have found for them is the Moray James power cord.
Audiomeca Mephisto II power cable
I am searching (just completing my system) for a power cord for my Mephisto II cd player. The problem is that this player is very eccentric on power cords. My other components like Virtual dynamics power cords. But the cd does not. I use now Kimber Pk14. Other cables I tried included : Audience, Cardas (all - very slow and boring sound), Symponic line, VD, Nbs stinger, Fisch, Nordost, VDhull, Nirvana (the best so far but a litle slow), xlo (cheaper), ultralink and others....so far Kimber Pk14 is staying but I know there are other better power cables out there. I am planning to test Siltech spx30. My other cables are SIltech IC's and NBS speaker.
I would like a pc with the speed of VD, or Nordost with the extended highs of a very good silver not "booming" or overcharchging the player and with naturalness of Nirvana and Virtual Dynamics and deep controlled bass of Nirvana also.
Sorry to ask so much but I know what I want and this player is eccentric and seems that does not like big "snaky" cords.
Any help will do, but have in mind I don't want to spend more than 700-800 $
