Re: Power cord recommendation needed - more "full-bodied" than Virtual Dynamics Nite.

I second Al Sekela's recommendation. Try the Hammond 193L wired to a brass plug. Wire the choke's longest black lead to hot, shorter black lead to neutral and ground the choke using the metal casing to the AC male plug. Any 14ga. or larger three conductor AC rated cable will work. Try to keep the length of the cable as short as possible. Plug the choke into the same duplex as your Virtual Dynamics Nite. Wait at least 5 days to judge or critical listening. Inexpensive tweak and works like magic for me.

I have been experimenting with higher end power cords in my system for about 4+ years. I own some really expensive ($2K+ retail) power cords. Recently Alan Maher has truly showed me the light. He tells me what is going to happen when I try something, before it happens..freaky. Ask Alan and see what he has to say.

Good luck...

Chris
