Power cord suggestions?


I have a Cary Sli-80 and Cary CD 303T SACD Pro and totem forests. Looking for my first power cables. My Choices in my price range and at my dealers are the Kimber Kable PowerKord10 GOLD for my Cd player and the new shunyata Etron Viper for my amp. Has anyone heard cary demoed with shunyata or kimber any Suggestions?

The Kimber gold is a great cable who does everything right, nothing wrong. The cheaper Purist Audio cables are also an option. Just take your time and please compare before you buy!
Audiolabyrinth, Chris a really good guy to deal with and he knows his stuff. He caries stuff he has tried and finds to be good bang for the buck items. His approach is to shun marketing expenses, thereby keeping his prices very low. He relies on his happy customers to spread the word. I have 4 of his airsines and one symmetry XLR in my system at this point. VH audio products compete well with pieces well above their price points in my opinion.
As fate would have it, unless the power cord is broken in on a cable burn-in system AND cryo'd there is just no way that a stock power cord, at any price, is going to be able to compete in today's high end world. If I were an exhibitor at CES or any audio show I certainly wouldn't consider going in with stock power cords, not by a long shot.
I find that power cords are the most important cable to be used in the system. I made my own as was suggested above. I used VH Audio...Accrolink wire with top of the line Oyeida or Furutech connectors. I have an all Ayre system. Its interesting that the Furutech ended cable sounds best used with the power amp, and the Oyeida ends sound best with the preamp, or silver disc player. If I use the Oyeida on the power, and the Furutech on the preamp, it doesn't sound as good. ..just goes to show you how sensitive these relationships can be.
