What Power Cord Are You Using With Your Compact Disc Player & Phono Stage?
Looking to experiment with power cords in the sub $500.00 range, new or used.
I would like to hear about what you are using.

Graham,
have you found a cable/cord?
I am leaning toward the Kimber Kable PK10 Gold or the WyWires Juice II.

Nothing wrong w/ Kimber, it does well in an all Kimber system, much like, Cardas, Audioquest and Transparent.
You will like the Signal Cable- for its price-point, it is tough to beat (no pun). These cables/cords jive well w/ Silent Source.
I'm using Wireworld Electra 7. If your player has a bit of digital edginess, these seem to help tame that without taking away from the sound.
I concur w/ Chris K on the WW Electra 7.
I just made a power cord for my CDP that is used as a transport. Two heavily discounted cryo'ed plugs from Sonicraft and DH Labs power plus cable from eBay. Less than $150 spent with a great result! See link below to Sonicraft deals on Neotech and Furutech plugs over 50% off.

Elrod EPS-2 Signature on my CDP.
Cerious Technologies Nano Signature on my phono stage.
Pretty good suggestions-Graham.
Thanks everyone for your input. It seems my short list is getting longer!
I am using Shunyata Python on my Wadia 861se and a Kimber 15A on my ARC Reference Phono Stage.
WyWires Juice II power cables throughout system.
Transparent PLMM2....glorious!!!

The Kimber Kable PK10 Gold with WG 330I plug and a WG 350I IEC connector.
Be warned the power cord requires at least 100 hours of burn-in, break-in, settle-in, time before it really opens up and sounds good. I suggest hooking it up to an appliance for break-in. Just connecting to your Cambridge Azur 840C will take forever.
If you can buy used you can save some money. LOL, not to mention the seller will have already burned-in the power cord.
I bought mine from a B&M dealer in my area a couple of years ago. I replaced a PS Audio Plus power cord with the PK10 Gold.
Clarus Aqua, $300, low current model.
Also High Current for Tube Pre-Dac/Tube Power Amp, $900 ea.
I'm using a Maestro power cable that is in your price range.
