Power Cable Question...


My first post on Audiogon, thanks for any input. Just got the PS Audio Trio C100 amp and a Cambridge entry level cdp. Today I wanted to upgrade the stock power cables. I've tried plugging in 3 different models, PS Audio Jewel/PW AC-3/Pangea all 3 I can't get plugged in to either component. The force needed to set the plugs in flush on the units have me scared of actually breaking something. Is it the models I have? Or am I missing something?
Forgive any newbie mistakes, this is my first attempt at putting together a "hi-fi". If anyone knows of a relatively cheap Power Cord that would easily plug into these two units please advise. Thanks.

I have had the same issue with my power plant premier. I called PS Audio and the tech suggested I squeeze the U shaped ground plug a bit to make it a bit narrower. The PS receptacles REALLY grab. It took me a LOT of force. Enough so as I stopped and called PS Audio. HTH.
Bluesky-
Your set up sounds like it is off to a great start and I bet it is very enjoyable to listen to, to say the least!

BTW- I mis-understood your problem. Most upgraded female ends of the power cords do NOT go in until they are flush. They tend to wiggle a bit to. The male end which goes to the power source MUST go in all the way. I'll try to post a pic in a minute to see if this is your situation.
