"powercord" saves 5-disc from dumpster

The recent aquisition of a Sony SACD777 moved me to a new level of listening enjoyment, and the Sony ES9 ?? 5 disc I also recently got was ready to be tossed... The 5 disc was ragged and had way too much digital grung to be listenable, anymore. I decided to replace the captive powercord with an IEC plug on the 5-disc. after the minor surgery I used a ZuCable powercord and WOW, the thing was listenable again. Top end clean, all around sharper images, and no more digititis.
I'm impressed. PS: I'm listening to the 5-disc via the toslink to an Adcom GDA-700. So hooray for aftermarket powercords
