What power cord should I get for my front end?


I am rebuilding a new SET Stereo system and will be using a highly modified Tascam CD Player from Decware as the source,with class A Tube Output and tube power supply with dual attentuators and a IEC 15 amp receptacle so I can swap out power cords. The cd player fully moded is about $1,200.00 new and I really don't want to go any higher then $300.00 used for a power cord. Any suggestions. I am told PS Audio makes some good stuff.

FWIW - I've been using Flavor 4 power cords on my CD transport & DAC for 6 years. I was very happy. Recently, as an experiment, I swapped in a pair of Acrolink power cords that were terminated w/Oyaide connectors. They sounded okay but worked much better on my tube amps. So, back they went. Then, I tried a pair of heavily shielded power cords on the transport & DAC. Voila! They cleaned up the hash far more than expected - especially considering that I was already using a power conditioner dedicated to the digital components only. There seemed to be better focus, tonality - less fuzziness. But, I still think highly of the Flavor 4. Of course, ymmv.
