how to modify my cdp to accept new power cord


ok i have decided to modify my nad c541 player so i can swap out the power cable. i just dont know how to connect the new piece to the power board in the cdp. it looks to be soldered and then has a heatshrink around it. do i need to try to get to the connection point there? i cant imagine leaving the 6in tail attached and splicing it. thanks for any info. kevin

thanks for the info. I would like to do the iec mod. I dont think i wanna mess with the board. Where can i get the iec at. parts express? i live 5 minutes from their warehouse. How would you make the connection from the iec to the tail i have left. would you solder it or just do some straight splice. Do you think changing out the cord would help the sound even with the tail still left in the unit. thanx alot Kevin
i believe there is a big difference in what cords you use too feed gear. i recently lost all sounstage and 3d effect. i couldnt think of anything i had changed. well i remembered that i had swapped out the power cord feeding my tube preamp. it was a bit loose at the gear. i used an extra cord thinking it wouldnt make a difference. haha that was a mistake. i put the old one back in place and the sound i was missing was back. this was to my preamp which would be less important than my cdp. the guage wire was larger and i never noticed till i put it back in. made a big change. i am getting my parts tomorrow so please monitor this post if possible johnss. your time is appreciated kevin
