Power Cords for Spectral equipment

Hello again everyone. First off, thank you to everyone who responded to my post re/CDP isolation. Today, I am once again in need of advice in which I have little to no experience. I would like to hear your recommendations on power cords for my Spectral DMC 20 Series II preamp and DMA 200 power amp. I am currently using the stock power cords. I know from their website that Spectral recommends using MIT Z cords (I or II). Are there any other cords that may work better? I don't know if this is important, but I am using all MIT MI 350 Reference IC's and MH 770 CVT Twin speaker cable. Thanks.

Hey Guys, I appreciate all your advice relative to a PC for my Wadia and Spectral equipment. Unfortunately, I live in a small town and the availability of the types of ICs and PCs around here is slim to none. I've heard that there's some company that has a library of these types of products and, for a fee, they will rent(loan) them so a buyer might be able to properly compare them in their own system. Has anyone ever heard of such a service?

billspecfoc, I am a Spectral owner/ user since 1996. I used Original Z Stabilizer and Z II PCs for yrs. Recently the upgrade virus has hit me with a Fever. Really did not believe PCs would make much difference. Difference between stock Spectral and Z IIs were subtle at best. But since I have the "Fever" and am making an All Out Assualt on my Retirement System; I tried an MIT AC I on my Z Isolator HD - WOW!! So then I added (2) ZIII cords ( Isolator to DMA 360s ) WOW & WOW !!! 
On the WBF site there is a Spectral Forum. One of the members suggests Shuynata PCs. ack is longtime Spectral user and knowledgeable . Best wishes on your journey.

Thanks! for re-viving an older thread nkonor.

Yes, Spectral and M.I.T. are sonic matches. Happy Listening!

As a Spectral owner who owns some of each model I attest that the MIT Oracle powercords are a remarkable upgrade in my system. The older z cord 2 are very inferior all round. As your sound improves with isolation,eg Equitech 2Q's, and power conditioning, the z cord 2's are virtuably unlistenable. As an aside I would like to obtain an MIT Z Stabilizer 2.
