RE: Follow up and differences MSA vs. VD or Luminous power cords

Hi,
Curious how the MSA cords differ soundwise from Virtual Dynamics or the Luminous Mega-Lynx, which IIRC also use magnets. My system includes an Exactpower EP15A AC regenerator, and I was initially surprised (!) that the power cord from wall to the Exactpower had an easily heard effect on resulting sound of Arcam FMJ36 CD player, (ca. 1990) Merrill turntable and Gill Alana preamp plugged into it. Now using a Triode Wire 8+ on the Exactpower and a variety of power cords (Aargh!!) on the other components -- Omegra Mikro on CD player (that was a splurge...), and Mojo Enigma with Furutech FI-15 plugs on the preamp. Other power cords available include the WyWires (which, while good, can be a bit "midrange-y" with certain components), and a TELwire 14 ga (which was excellent with a Vacuum State FVP5, but reticent in dynamics with my other components.)
BTW, does the MSA cord need to be a goodly distance away from an MC step-up transformer?
The positive review by "Ozzyboy" has me interested. Do you think a Neo to the Exactpower +/- a "First" to preamp would be worthwhile?
Thanks and happy listening,
Harvey (in Los Angeles)
