Try a Synergistic Research Synergistic Research CORE AC Power Cord. It used to be called the Precision AC Basik and it one a shootout of cables in The Absolute sound and won editors choice award.. It bead the Venom 3 plus a whole other popular cords. I agree, I use it in my ultra expensive system and it sounds wonderful. I also own a Venom 3 in my HT System. Very good at its slightly cheaper price.
