Upgraded Sonos ZP-80 Power Cord

Hi all:

I have the Cullen modified ZP-80 and am very happy with it as a source. However, the stock ($1.49 on sale at Home Depot) power chord is insulting. Has anyone come up with a real power cord for a Sonos? I would be interested in what would work but more interested in any real life experience with swaping cords.

Thanks.

There is an adaptor which allows you to use any after market power cord. I think I got mine from music direct.

I know there is an extra connection but I like the Shunyata's, and it allowed me to use their PC. I use it with a Rotel RDV-1080 and am quite happy with the performance upgrade.

So, I just received my Power Punch cord from PS Audio. The end is not exactly the same as what fits in the Sonos. One half is round like the sonos but the other half is squared off. Should I file the end to make it round so it fits in the sonos? Please let me know. Thanks.

I did file the ends of the cord and it fits like a glove now. It sounds great with a deeper bottom end. It should sound even better when it breaks in.

Great recommendation Tboooe! I can't believe I've never asked this question myself. I should get my Power Punch tomorrow!

jseminetta, great news! I would be curious to hear your thoughts after the cord breaks in (you to Shazam!, that was a great show by the way!)
