Cheap Powercords...worth the effort???


I'm looking to maybe replace the powercord on my AR Complete, but I don't want to spend a fortune. Is it worth it if I only get a cheap one, and if so what inexpensive cords would you guys/gals recommend.

I love your amp!!!! That thing is amazing for the money. I recently purchased a Sonic Horizons power cable from HCM Audio. (HCMAudio.com) (or directly @ sonichorizon.com) The guys at HCM manufacture them themselves, so they're pretty inexpensive, and according to their literature, are designed to compete with much more expensive cables. They have a cable for every budget. (I got the Daybreak model, about $90, I think, for a 2 meter cable. They are a good place to start, as the cables can be returned if you're not happy. I've heard that power cable swapping has it's greatest effect if you can change the source's power cable. My Rega Planet has a captive cord :( so I couldnt do this (my CJ preamp has a captice cord as well, darnit) But I did get improvement over the stock cable that came with my McCormack amp.
