Power Cable Recommendation

Kclone, VH Audio Flavor 4 will not be flexible at all. It'll require about 8-9 inches of clearance.
Audience will be great for your cd player, but it may run more than $200. Flexible as can be though.
Another one, but not as good on digital as the Audience is, the Diamondback by Shunyata. You may be able to get 2 of them for a little over 200. Flexible enough to work with.

No way on the PS Audio. I have the Statement. My rack is against the wall in my bedroom. There is no way I can bend that cord to fit it between the amp and the outlet or surge protector. Thanks for the Cardas rec. though. I will look into it.

Sounds like a job for a $14 volex, don't hurt yourself.

For the CD player I would recommend a Cardas, real silent!
For the amp a PS Audio is the best. I have a flexible 4ft long Cardas Hexlink and a brand new 1,5 m PS Plus to sell
for $200!

These XLO References are excellent 12 AWG cords, well shielded, good Hubbell connectors etc. Not "floppy" flexible, but bend easily and won't pull your equipment off the rack:

This guy has only one. I'll sell you two for $150 if you want.

I picked up a Musical Fidelity A5 CD player a while back but only experimented with 2 powers cords. The VH Audio Flavor 4 and a JPS Labs Digital AC.
The JPS Labs cord was audibly better in my system, really made it shine. The folks at usedcable.com recomend this PC for the A5, I got mine for 200 thru them. It's pretty flexable too.
Happy hunting.
