Blue Circle BC 62 power chords

I recently purchased a used Blue Circle BC3000 preamp with external power supply (pics in my gallery). The power chord leading to the power supply is a Blue Circle BC62 model. The BC website indicates some kind of double reverse braiding technique and hospital grade plugs. It "feels" like a very tight braid, yet the BC-62 has a very nice flexibility that gives it maneuverable qualities (stranded wire?). The plug looks like they could be Marinco.

This chord seems to perform pretty well. The sound after adding the BC3000 preamp is wonderfully quiet/low noise, dynamic, extended yet smooth, very natural and organic sounding. I can't stop listening.

I'm already using a pair of VHAudio Flavor 4's with the Furutech FI25G connectors for my NuForce amps. I DIY'ed a 2nd pair which I substituted Oyaide P079/C079 connectors. I've gotten excellent results from these Flavor 4's combined with Oyaide wall plates and receptacles. I'm also using a Monster 5100 MKII for everything but the amps and subwoofer.

Like I said, the BC-62 sounds like a good chord to me, but I'm wondering if there is an opportunity to improve significantly on it with an affordable designs like the Flavor 4. Ultimately I'll just have to experiment myself, but I was wondering if anyone has experience with the BC-62 in comparison to other PC's. Also, has anyone upgraded a BC-62 chord through cryo treatment or changing the connectors?

Thanks for any comments...
