Power cords for Modwright 999es

I am a new convert in power cords. Previously i have a synergistic ac master and cardas golden cord, they only enhanced my system slightly and my system had an treble that was occasionally unpleasant on violins. A hydra 8 fed from elrod eps3s completely fixed this problem and now the treble is airy, extended, and yet very continuous and non fatiguing. Additional benefits are 3D imaging, transparency & base.
Changing these two pcs in my system has clear and audible differences immediately. I put the synergistic on the umbilical power supply and the dynamics, base, soundstage increased significantly. I really hoped that pc don't work so i can have a simple cheap sys but they do.

The modwright 999es takes two power cords (one to cdp & one to PS), anyone have any good suggestions.

P.S. Sorry for inventing this thread after the pc for apl 3910. I just need some help.

Dan Wright recommends the Revelation Audio Labs umbilical for the Modwright Sony 999ES. I'd start there, and then add a Revelation Audio Labs Precept II mains cable.

I already have the revelation umbilical. Is precept ii better than other popular choices: MiniKhan+, EPS2, Audience, MichaelWolf Source, VD nite?

I removed my Revelation Audio silver umbilical and put in the old copper umbilical and it made a great improvement in my system. I'm using a VD Nite on the player and a Top Gun on the power supply. These are all recomendations of member Jacytoy of DV 50 shootout fame. I'm going to try a TG Audio 688 when I receive it on my power supply.

It's system dependent. How else would you explain Dolfan's experience when the man who does the mods recommends one thing, and Dolfan experiences better results with another? Certainly Dan is recommending the RAL silver umbilical because he believes it's the best. Dan's too honest a guy to be blowing smoke.

Glai, it's been said hundreds of times in these threads. You have to try the cords in your own system with your own ears. I'd suggest cords from manufacturers who offer MBGs: Revelation Audio Labs, VH Audio, Michael Wolff, SignalCable. You should be able to find an excellent aftermarket cord from one of these guys.

I also agree with the TG Audio 688 suggestion. I personally use one of these cords, though not on my digital source.
