Sony SCD-777ES Power Cables


Looking to hear from Sony SCD-777 or SCD-1 owners on which power AC cable you are using and if you have done any comparisions. I have installed dedicated AC lines so I am looking for the next level of improvement. I currently own the JPS Labs digital power AC.

Thanks.

I bought an absolute power cord for my SCD-1; figured it was better than the stock cord. I have considered trying an Elco Audio or PS Audio Lab II; but have not as of yet. I would be interested in any feedback that you have on these power cords.

Organic Cable HirRes works pretty good for me. It's a heavily shielded cord with Hubbell 8215 hospital grade AC plug and Wattgate 320 IEC connector. A bit stiff, but sounds great.
I've tried many powercords on my 777 (Synergistic Research, Harmonic Technology, Transparent Audio, Kimber Palladian) and found that the Shunyata cords (Python and King Cobra v2) make the most significant difference to my ears, although suprisingly less difference than on some other CD players like the Cary 306/200.
I agree with Bob52R, for the money (and for all else !), TG Audio makes some of the best. Short of megabucks being spent on Shunyata or the like, the TG Audio SLVR (~$500) may be a steal ! I got a very rare one used, and one went for $410+ here on Audiogon a week or so ago.

But they have been getting rave reviews. As someone on Audio Asylum put it, they just make more of the best of the componenet come through. I have tried it on my Sony CD (mod'd NS500V from Ric at EVS), and also on my amp; in all spots it's fantastic.

The HSRi and HSRA Gen 2 could also be awesome deals at even less money.

Good luck !
