 Just found a 6ft Tiffany powercord at an EBay resale store. Not sure if it's the TPC-40 or 60. It had no price tag on it and I got it for $1 plus 25% discount. Haven't hooked it up yet. I owned one of these about 20 yrs ago and I believe it sold for $75-100 back then. A couple of weeks ago I picked up a similar cord in the same store, exact same construction and connectors only silver in color stamped "Jadis" in small printing along the length of the cord. Paid $3.75 for that one and it's a keeper.

 IIRC, the Tiff TPC-40 is 14 AWG, and the Tiff TPC-60 is 12 AWG. If so, the Tiff TPC-60 was my first aftermarket audiophile power cord, and it was clearly better sounding than the typical Hospital Grade power cords available at that time (mid 1990s). It may be worthwhile to re-terminate the TPC-60s stock Hubbell clamshell-style AC plug and Schurter IEC connector with modern Audio Grade AC connectors. Perhaps either the new gold or rhodium version clamshell-style FI-15 Plus series AC connectors would be an interesting option to try.
