Best Power Cord for REL Stadium III

Good suggestions from both Stanwal and Mooglie. I actually just built some 4" thick 24" wide OC705 panel traps that run from floor to ceiling in the front corners. Sealed them all the way around ala Jon Risch with soft rubber garage door weather stripping really improved their performance below 80hz. They have been monumental in transforming my room's bass from bloated and mid-bass heavy to a lean and tuneful. Best $500 i ever spent on audio.

I found that placing the REL on its side with the woofer pointed forward and moving it out from the corner 23" in both directions helped tighten the bass significantly. I was using cones under it prior to this and will re-install them per Stanwal's recommendation.

I was already considering replacing the gold plugs on my DIY cord with rhodium plugs, but the Furutech FI-25 Rhodium plugs and IECs run about $100 each. Mooglie's suggestion to buy some Oyaide Rhodium knockoffs off of ebay is just the ticket. I think I'll try that.

Thanks to both of you for taking time to respond.

Mooglie,

Last night, I remembered that I had bought a power cord (been in my closet) with knockoff Oyaide C-037 Rhodium plugs from Hong Kong off of ebay way back at the beginning of my power cord journey. Also found some nice cones with sharp points and installed the cones under the REL. This and the Rhodium power cord made a nice improvement in the bass performance, so I think the Rhodium plugs are taking things in the right direction.

I think I might go for a Furutech FI-03 Rhodium IEC inlet/fuse holder for the REL. Only $22 and should mate well with the Rhodium plugs.

At the same time, I will take your advice to try plugs with different platings to see what works best.

Thanks for the suggestions. I really appreciate it.
