Experience with Acrolink 7n-pc4030 leggenda
I use an Acrolink 6N 4030 power cord on my Esoteric SACD player.  It has Esoteric branded connectors. I really don't know if there was a difference as it was a long time ago.

Who else can't sleep the night before their fancy new gears arrive?
In 2017, I waited 6 months for my speakers to be delivered. During that time, at least 2-3 times a week I could not stop thinking about them and could not sleep. As it got  closer and closer to my delivery date, I couldn’t get a decent nights slee... 
Considering A 20-40 Watt Stereo SET Amp
