Mcondon,
"I have an early Kaplan cord and like other power cords better."
Well, so do I! Which is why I no longer make the mkI or mkII versions of my cables. The mkI versions were produced from early 2009 - 2011, mkII from late 2011 thru 2013, with the mk3 introduced Jan 2014. I don't change my cables often, but when I do, it is a significant improvement. And like all my cables, I offer an attractive upgrade policy for crediting 70% of the previously purchased retail price against the current retail price. For an upgrade from a Kaplan Cable 5'HE mkII cord to a Waveform Fidelity 5' HE mk3 power cord, that translates to a $228 upgrade cost. Given that all the mk3 cables all use different, significantly superior connectors, new sleeving, labels and proprietary treatment specific to the length/connectors of the cable [the only thing re-used is the cordage/wires, which have the benefit of being completely broken-in], its seems to me a good way of thanking my customers for their support. Try it, you'll like it...
FWIW,
Paul
