Foster 9's so right. While the Cryo-Max worked amazingly well on my PS Audio Amp, it does nothing for my Aloia gear. Power Cords are very system & component dependent. On a tight budget, about the only thing to do is buy used cords that have high demand and turnover so you can resell them without much of a loss if they don't work out. I've used the Cable Company in the past and it's a great service if you want to pay retail. Not meanning to be negative, but when you're paying someone else's labor charges to terminate, you're not going to get a real substantive cable upgrade for $50. At this price point, I think I'd try Audio Advisor's Pangea power cords. They're probably assembled with Chinese labor as opposed to Take Five Audio's Canadian labor, so you do the math on that part of the equation. From reports I've read, the Pangeas succeed in improving many peoples systems. All you gamble is shipping costs if you don't like them.
