Upgraded Sonos ZP-80 Power Cord


Hi all:

I have the Cullen modified ZP-80 and am very happy with it as a source. However, the stock ($1.49 on sale at Home Depot) power chord is insulting. Has anyone come up with a real power cord for a Sonos? I would be interested in what would work but more interested in any real life experience with swaping cords.

Thanks.

Just got it in my system last night and my initial perception is similar to Jseminetta's - a cleaner and deeper bottom end is the most immediate thing to jump out at me. I get hints of better staging here and there that will likely get better as it breaks in a little more. I'm hoping a more consistent power flow will make the clocks that much more accurate and jitter free.

I left it running today while at work, so I should be able to get some good listening in over the week-end. The Cullen mods on the Sonos and PS Audio Dac 3 seem to be settling in nicely as well lately. I'm very happy with this set up now.
Thanks guys! I am planning on upgrading my ZP-80 soon as well. I will try the PS Audio power cord first the move on the Cullen mod.
just in case anyone ever checks back on this thread. There is an adaptor that you can put on an IEC power cable to make it fit a c7 input like the sonos. cable co. has them for $20. I am going to give one a shot for grins.
Audioquest NRG-1 works well with my system. No cutting, shaving or carving of the cord end is necessary.
