need help on choosing right power cord!

My suggetion: Syn.Research.It has good resale,not to mention it is a great power cord.-That can't be said of eel.I own all three(your 2 + Syn,master and reference) If you can stretch;go for king cobra 900/1000 used-you won't be disappointed,makes the other ones seem like toy power cords.

I would suggest Electraglide used. Either the regular or the Reference.They start used at about $200 and around $600 for the Reference. Remarkable cords that are smooth and detailed with plenty of bass slam.

The EEL vs the SR Master. I have one of the SRs and three of the EELs The SR was a lot leaner and brighter verse the EEL and moved it to my home theater setup. The EELs are more dynamic, detailed and incredible tight bass. I am currently using two on my LAMM ML2s (mono-blocks), and the other EEL on my Audio Research Reference Two preamp. In my opinion, the EEL is much greater value than the SR on both performance and price. THE END....

Stealth HAC cord for the money will be hard to beat. If you can spring for about $1200 I here the FIM gold cord is simply amazing beating out the likes of the Powersnakes King Cobra II.

Since you specifically asked about the Resolution Audio CDP... The TG Audio power cord HSR-a I believe is the model number, it worked very well on the CD50 when I auditioned it. The Resolution Audio people recommend TG cords too, and they're very reasonably priced to boot. My experience with the Synergistic cords suggests they wouldn't be so hot on digital gear, but I agree, the Shunyatas may be a nice choice, though higher $$ than the TG Audio. Finally, I liked what the ESP The Essence cord did on my Sony SCD-1, but I have no experience with it on the Resolution Audio CDPs.
