I am new the this cord/cable business like yourself. Just (yesterday) I replaced the stock cord on a CAL Ikon MKII with a used Harmonic Tech. Pro II PC ($125.00) and it was well worth it. The CAL now compares favorably to players (with their stock cords) that sell for up to a $1000.00 more. I intend to upgrade the cord to the power supply on my amp (needs to be hardwired) when the warrenty expires.
