Power Cords

I am looking for a new power cord (two meters long is sufficient). I would use it on a Adcom GFP-750 now and possibly move it to a Classe CA-201 amp later on if I get a second cord. I have heard a lot about the MIT Z Cord 2, some of the Synergistic research cords and all of the Powersnakes. I would definately buy used and am willing to spend up to $700 (though I wouldn't mind getting something less expensive). Thanks for your thoughts!

Hey Lihifiguy - where did you get the most improvement with your EEL's? I just got one but my Meridian transport crapped out and had to be sent in for service - 30 days they want to keep it!!!! I'm using an old Rotel in the meantime. I'm burning it in on a Classe Amp and have noticed a nice improvement over MIT and SR Master but won't do any critical listening until I get my Meridian back.

Yeah your right Lihifiguy - it's the biggest minimal expense improvement you can make if you have solid gear and I don't mean $1000 expenditures. I put an SR Master on my dac and was shocked, put another one on my transport and the improvement wasn't as great but reinforced the DAC. The EEL on my amp is as great as the first Master on the DAC. It was the most noticable improvement I've had, even over equipment upgrades. Power cords I think eliminate the need for power conditioning which I've never liked - it has always strangled my various systems. Dedicated lines and solid power cords are the ticket. Try it you'll like it - you won't have to strain or listen hard to be a believer.
