Best airy and smooth Power cord for trans & dac

second the Foundation Research LC-1, great on the transport as well, but best on the Dac (if you only have one). I tried several cords on my Audiologic 24MXL dac, but ended up sticking with the LC-1. **Note- be careful with LC-1's going into balanced power conditioners- for whatever reason, the LC-1 does not play nice in the sandbox with the BPT conditioner, and prefers a passive unit, or even better, to be plugged directly into the wall...

I can't recommend the Omega Mikro active power cords highly enough,especially on digital gear.I sell them and wouldn't use anything else.Please contact me if interested.They have a 30 day return policy,so you won't get stuck,if not to your satisfaction. Tom

I have the Michael Wolff Carbon Ribbon power cords on my power amp and my CD player. Very detailed and smooth.

Big what did you not like about the Elrods on your cdp and what made you like Foundation R. L-1 better.

I am a fan of the Elrod Sig 3 but no the Sig 2. I use the 3 mainly on power amps. I was not impressed with the Sig 2 on my CDP or preamp and currently use a Foundation Research L-1 power cord there.

The Elrods are pretty natural, with very good balance, with some thickness in the mids versus some other cords I have tired but this was only slightly and overall I preferred the Elrod.

Happy Listening.
