Power cord for McIntosh 402 amp

Oyaide Tunami GPX is a good possibility.

I just replaced my 352 with a new 402 and am using the Cardas Golden Reference. I had used a Harmonic tech Pro AC for a few years before that and I really beleive that I gained in two areas 1)a more "black" sound in the quiet transients and 2)i feel that I have a more dynamic response or maybe a better description is a more effortless presentation. You can find them here on AG used for that 300 price point and can probably always recoup your investment if you decide to sell. One other suggestion is contact usedcable.com about thier lending library and try a few different cables. I must add that I have Cardas GR throught my system except speaker cables. And the improvement I experienced may have been derived from system synergy.

I just upgraded mine to Tek Line Cables microReference Xtreme. Great vlaue

I have tried many power cords with my McIntosh MC 402, and the best sounding by far is the Prana Wire Kensho from Joe Cohen. You hardly ever see any of the Prana Wire cables for sale on Audiogon. Reason? Because it is one of the absolute best available. Prana Wire has a program where you can try their cables. You really ought to check them out if you want to see what a really good power cord can do. Just my honest opinion, for what it's worth. Happy listening.

Possibly. Or, it could be because the distribution is small and the number of owners is correspondingly small.

There are always several reasons why any product is not found in the for sale listings, and the reasons often have nothing to do with the quality of an item.
