Power cord suggestions for CDP and tube amp

I just purchased a Consonance Droplet 5.0 CDP and wondered what after-market cables are recommended for this player. I did read a thread about this from January of this year, but wondered if users had any more suggestions. I saw that Consonance actually makes cables as well, but found no opinions about their power cables here.

I would also like recommendations for a power cable for an Art Audio Carissa Signature tube power amp (this amp is not in the same system as the CDP.)

I can not afford thousands of dollars for these cables, I would prefer only paying $400-$500 for each - used is fine!

Irish65, thanks for the heads up. The combination of those two vendors will make for a very interesting room. If you like, email me offline, maybe I can arrange to give you a real time or near real time update. Hopefully that will soften the blow of not being able to attend in person.

Holly,

Glad your going to RMAF. Robert is a class A gentleman. When I told him on Wed. I could not make it he said he would wheel me around the show. He has been working with me on setting my new room up. I've purchased their Caravelle speakers and amps. Like you I wanted to save the money on shipping by attending. I was planning to pick up four of the Stage Platforms and a pair of the Stage Caravelle stands.
Virtual Dynamics and Star Sound use the same technology and science in their products. Since I plan on building a system using both companies products, that was the reason I was going to the show for an audition. Having the Achilles heel injury come at the 11th hour was a tough pill to swallow.
I've heard good things about the DCCA cables. Let us know how it works out for you.
Even though I'm not in the market for speakers I was interested to give the new Thiel CS 3.7 a listen. I have owned a few pairs of Thiel's in the past and was curious as to how this new model would compare.
Enjoy and would appreciate your feedback from the show.

Clio09,
I appreciate your offer and have emailed you my info.

Irish65 - I would be happy to give you feedback about the festival. Mind you that I am not any where near an expert, but I will do my best.

Thanks for the suggestion, John. I am tapped out right now as far as my power cord budget it concerned.

I bought a Virtual Dynamics Nite 3 power cord at RMAF for a great price, but still spent more than I had planned. I need to settle down now!

I also need to listen to all of these cords - VH Audio, Black Sands Violet and Virtual Dynamics - to see (hear) what I think of them. :-)
