ARC Ref 3 Power Cord


Hi, I was wondering if anyone has replace the stock power cord for the Arc Ref 3 with some other power cord and has found it to improve the preamps performance? I have replaced the power cords on most of my other components and I am thinking of doing the same with the Ref 3. If so, is there anything good out there without spending an arm and a leg on?

I was thinking of testing the waters with a Signal Power cord. I use that on all my other components and like it a lot. It is also inexpensive also. Is there anyone out there using this brand?
I looked up the very expensive prices on some of the power cords recommended. I am still wondering if there is someone out there using a Signal Magic power cord on their ARC REF 3. They also offer a Silver Resolution Reference power cord. I wonder what more that one could do compared to their standard power cord. Can someone tell me the length of the stock cord that comes with the REF 3. The back of my system is so cramped that I don't want to trying gettin' back there.

Can you tell me if it was the basic Signal Power Cord or the upgrade silver one they have? How long is the stock cord? Thanks
I know that the female end of the ARC stock cord is 20 amp.
Is the Male end 20 amp or 15 amp? The new cord I want to get is going to go into a Furman power conditioner which in turn goes into my 15 amp wall outlet. I am assuming I want a new cord with a 20 amp female with a 15 amp male end. Can anyone confirm this. Thanks
