Musical Fidelity A5 CD-Player Powercord proposal

Hello!

I have a Musical Fidelity A5 CDP and need recommendations on a Powercord! I have Great Success useing a Synergistic Research AC Master coupler Active on my Musical Fidelity A5 Amp.

So it the CDP lefth then, so any recommendations??

I was thinking about SR Resolution Reference AC coupler.
But it´s hard, no dealer where I live in Sweden.

So come on Brainstorm som recommendations!!

Best Regards

Fredrik

Fredrik, the Taipan didn't work very well on my front-end gear, it lost too much midrange texture, although it was very smooth up-top. I think I'd be more willing to give the JPS a try. The JPS was very close to my custom-built reference in many ways, but not as uncolored or dynamic sounding.

If you have to go with a new PC, I'd also recommend the Shunyata Diamondback. I haven't had great luck with their 'heavier' PC's on any of my front-end gear though.

Fredrik, to answer your question, I'd say you might be more than happy with the SR cable on your A5. The SR cables have fell out of favor with many because they don't diminish the midrange and highlight the bass and treble the way most of the 'mega gauge' powercables do. If indeed the A5 is neutral (I haven't heard it myself), you might find the SR cable to be a very revealing match.
The SR cables are not recommended if your system is at all forward in the midrange and upper-midrange.
JMHO.
