PS Audio Prelude power cord.

I called the place I purchased the cable from, Music Direct. They are going to exchange it for me to any cable I want. I will loose money on S&H only. PS Audio claims their line of XStream power cords function as mini power conditioner themselves, so I was thinking to try it on the CD player before I send it back, but suspecting it will have similar effect on it as it did on the amp. Will see, but most likely I will send it back and get the Copperhead cord instead.

The biggest impact I achieved with (reasonably priced)power cords was by upgrading the power cord on my CD player(Sony SCD-1). Much blacker background (lowered noise floor) and better instrumental definition in the music across all audio spectrums. As I mentioned above I use PS Audio Statement Extremes but I have not done any extensive experimentation with power cords. Others have commented that the JPS Digital AC is a good cord for CD players. Good Luck

I pluged the Prelude cord into my CD player and there was an improvement in noise reduction and detail. I think, due to the large amount of shielding the PS Audio Prelude cord has, that it is more suitable for a digital component. I will try to get the power cord for the amp and then see how it goes before I return it. It's a well made cable. I got to give it that.

I used PS Audio Plus for my power amps and they work well. Kinda of stiff, though

I recently purchased a 2m PS Audio Prelude power cord and am using it on my Classe' Ten amp.The cord fit poorly on the IEC socket on everything I had.Eventually we got it to fit by adding a few turns of electrical tape to the cords molded female end.
Once I was happy the cord was secure we plugged it in and it works.It does exactly what they say it will do. I'm sure you can do better but it'll be expensive. The Prelude in my system is an improvement over the stock cord and its fairly priced.
I am somewhat bothered by its IEC end. We couldn't get it to work at all on somethings(Arcam units to name one) and had to resort to a minor modifcation to get it to sit secure on my Classe amp and pre-amp.
