Signal Power Cord with digitial components

I recently purchased a Signal Power Cord for my Audio Refinement amp and was instantly blown away by the improvement in the soundstage it gave over my stock cord. Now I am thinking of getting the digital power cord that is offered by them for my Audio Refinemnt Pre-2DSP and my future Integra HD-DVD player. I was wondering if anyone has tried this cord on their proceessor or a HD-DVD player. Thanks

I think you'll need to use an adapter if you want to try and 15A IEC. You can review possible candidates here:

I'm not saying you should buy frome Gene (although he is a great guy) but you'll probably find the necessary model from his offerings. I use one on my OPPO dvd player with good results.

I use the C7/C14 adapter that has round sides on both sides of the adapter. I think you need the C7/C14 "polarized" version that has round on one side and square on the other:

if that one doesn't match your requirements then I'm out of ideas...

For my Oppo I made up my own power cord using Marinco ends and heavy duty 12 gauge insulated wire from a local hardware store. I have better cords within some of my systems in the house but have not had the time to audition them on the Oppo. I would say that the bass is better defined - not stronger but much easier to follow. Its easier to pick out the bass player in the soundstage. If you get an adapter at least you can try a number of cords to find out which one works best for you.
