Better power cord for Bryston

I don't have an aftermarket power cord for my 4BSST. I have considered several, but never pulled the trigger. I love my Audience power cord, but was told a syn. res. master coupler would be better for the amp. Opinions?
System:
Maggie 1.6
Bryston 4BSST
DeHavilland Ultra Verve w/upgraded caps
Shanling CDT 100 w/ upgraded tubes - JPS digital ac
All remaining cords are Audience Au24s - Richard Gray

If you look through Bryston's website, they don't recommend aftermarket cords for their product, since they designed it, they should know.

If you check the reviews of the 14BSST on the Bryston site you will find that the review sample sent to AIG(?)had a Sunfire pc. I have used Transparent pcs with a 4BST and 14BST and found significant sonic improvements.

I know it's a totally different animal than your 4BSST, but I replaced the stock cord on my B60 with a modest Signal Cable pc. An already quiet amp got quieter and there was a slight increase in dynamics. An upgrade that was definately worth the money.

Tvad is correct. I have a 4Bst - Changes are in your imagination. If you want it to sound better it will.

Have a friend change in/out without your knowledge - you won't know when it's in or out. Don't buy into the BS. Save $ and spend on something that counts.

Stay with the stock cord. Nothing to be gained from snake oil fantasy's.
If you need proof, have a friend swap cords without telling you - as in blind testing - you'll never tell.
The reason so many are afraid of bliond testing is that they'll realize they haven't got a clue.
