Asylum Powercord. Has anyone tried this power cord

Has anyone tried this power cable: ASYLUM Powercord, sold by Take Five Audio or DIY Cable or any other company. According to Take Five Audio "The Asylum Powercord was designed by the late Bob Crump. This recipe has earned a reputation as a price/performance leader over the years. Our assembly uses the exact same parts as the original recipe. This cord is constructed from Belden 19364 terminated with Pass & Seymour 5266-X wall plug and Schurter 4300.0603 IEC. During assembly we treat the internal contacts of the 5266-X with DeoxIt Gold as well as the female IEC contacts. The cable is connected to the IEC using solder as per the original recipe. We use WBT solder for this connection."

I am considering using this on a source Denon 3930ci cd/dvd player.
Any other suggestions for a good reasonably priced power cable for this player.

You asked pretty much the same question a few weeks ago. I would suggest you use the search feature both here & at AA to read about powercords. There are even more sites to chose from but these 2 should keep you busy for awhile.

I have one I purchased from a guy making them to help finance an adoption.. I have to say they are OK. Making one yourself is just as good.. you can buy the parts a lot of places.
If the cost of the complete cord is only about 25%/ 30% over the cost of the parts, it's a good deal.

They're ok, nothing special in my system. I found Cryo-Parts ACIII to be a much better performing low cost DIY power cord alternative.
