Hi,
I have an 8Ti/HC and am using a Custom Power Cord Co "Top Gun HFCI" (I think that's the right name) cord.
Retails for around $1200. This was recommended to me by the guy I bought the amp from. He said that these cords were designed specifically with Rowland amps in mind and that many Rowland owners swear by them.
I compared it with an ElectraGlide "FatBoy" (a very fine power cord, $2K retail) and found I preferred the CPCC cord slightly (but the FatBoy sounded very good too, so if you can find one at a good price, don't hesitate).

A cheaper cord that you might want to try is the PS Audio "Lab Cord". I tried one on my Levinson CD player, replacing another $2K cord--Shunyata King Cobra II. Son of a gun--the PS cord was quite competitive.
I couldn't try it on my 8Ti/HC because the Rowland requires 20 amp IEC connector.
