Anyone with Manley Chinook use a custom Power Cord?


Does anyone have experience using a different power cord with a Manley Chinook other than the one supplied from Manley?  If yes, what was your experience with it?  Did it really make a difference?

The double. The TL082s are doubles, so want to replace them with another double.

almost as big as tubes, I pulled the stock tubes out of mine and am using Holland Bugle Boys.

On other subs, I don't know, have not tried them.
Apologies to slaw, but I have come to think that SR is throwing sand in the public eye with $150 fuses and many (but not all) of its other tweaky products. While I also question the bang for buck value of very expensive power cords, at least there you can objectively identify desirable characteristics and aim to achieve them. 

I own a Steelhead. I’ve thought about upgrading the load resistors to nude vishay, but my prior experience with that sort of tweak on other phono stages suggests to me that there is little to be gained. I could be convinced otherwise.

Like I may have written above, the major kludge in the Chinook if the output stage is like that of the Steelhead is the choice of output coupling capacitor. The value is way higher than necessary for good bass response and the quality is mediocre at best. Upgrade those and you will be amazed.
@lewm I hear you and completely agree!  I'm not sure about the output cap, but I'm not likely to mod something like that, which may end up voiding my warranty.  Anything I do has to be able to go back to factory without being permanent.

By the way, @lewm the power cord I bought was $69, so not super expensive.  We'll see if it helps in any way...

 I didn’t have any reservations about changing the output coupling capacitors in my steelhead, because it is several years old and I am not the original owner. Thus I assume that I have no warranty in place. However, Manley seem to be very in tune with tweakers. I wonder whether they would sanction capacitor upgrades if done by a qualified tech or at their factory.

you can’t go wrong spending 69 bucks on a PC. If you don’t like it, there’s no harm.
