Power cord upgrade/replacement on Denon POA-6600 monoblocks


Hi, everyone!

I recently got my hands on a pair of Denon POA-6600 monoblocks in superb condition.  They sound great on my Magnepans, but one thing that bothers me about them is the power cord.  It's permanently attached/soldered on, there is no IEC socket.  The cord is of "high quality lamp cord" grade.  My question is this: has anyone attempted an upgrade of the power cord on one of these (or sister amps, POA-7700, etc) and what was the result?  I would be interested in "reversible" modification, i.e. solder an upgraded cord in place of factory one, not cut the metal on the back to install an IEC socket.

Here is a pic in someone's ad on US Audiomart:

I don't plan on selling them, but you never know what might happen in life, so I would lean toward a reversible mod.

You could cut the cord about 5 inches from the amp and attach an IEC male connector on the cord.  Then plug in your cable of choice.  That would be the easiest way out.
