Best power cord for vintage McIntosh?

I have a MX110 and MC240. I'm thinking of slightly modifying the units and replacing my stock power cord with.... something. PS Audio Extreme, perhaps?

I have an after market power cord for my Sony SACD player -a big improvement. That's why I am considering this slight 'modification'.

However I'm concerned that certain power cords may be designed for powerful SS amps that draw a lot of current and may not be suitable for my McIntosh tubes.

Is this concern justified?

Thanks for your responses.

The guy who runs a local 'high end' store sez that I will hear a difference. He can put in a connector without damaging anything (so that I can put the original power cord back, if needed).

I think I'll give it a shot anyway!

I'll post the results here... if I rememeber, that is!
