The first actual difference I could hear from a powercord was a Pangea AC9. (The exclusive seller of (new) Pangea is Audio Advisor)
They have a return policy, so you could try the Pangea and if it does nothing, you can return it. (however multiple returns to AA may get you banned from buying from them)
Anyway, my first commercially made aftermarket powercord for Pangea was CHEAPER than one equal to it I could have made myself.
That Pangea I could hear an improvement immediately. and I was suprised.
Anyway, I bought a pile of them several years back and stopped. I am satisfied... and no longer have any wanderlust for other powercords. I can switch between models of Pangea and hear differences. But i just have no interest in chasing some 'mythical' better powercords.No matter how many folks howl about some.
So I would recommend trying either Shunyata, which have been praised by a lot of folks for making a good entry cord. or Pangea.
The one other recommendation I would offer is to think about power conditioning. Which is an equally important power upgrade.
But is also a can of worms. I started with a cheap Adcom, them a mid priced Monster.Top Monster, Finally now I own a top of the line Furman REF20i AND a PS Audio P600.
Good luck.
