Power Cord for Synergistic Research MCC

Just purchased a Master Control Center without the resolution ref mk.II X-series power cord, casuse I already had a A/C master coupler (non-active) PC, any difference by using these 2 power cord for the MCC? my friend had a MCC (old version) plugged by the A/C master coupler sounds good, how much improve by using a higher grade pc for only just the sheilding purpose? Thanks in advance.

Thank you for you guys sharing your experience.
Hi Bob,
Agreed with you, I've tried to plug a stock power cord to the MCC instead of my Master coupler today, the width/depth of the soundstage decreased, the pin-point focused vocal gone, I think the better PC plug to MCC, the better result you will get, I am using the MCC III for 1 Designer Ref Sq x-series power cord and 1 Designer Ref Sq (active but not X) AES/EBU digital cable, now I have a chance to buy either a Reference AC (not X), or a Master Coupler X-series, both are 2nd hand, first one is higher grade but old version, 2nd one is lower grade but latest version, which one will you suggest?

Hi Bob,
Thank you for your suggestion, I tried both 2 cables in the 2nd hand shop today, they plugged them in a CD player for demo, I found the old Reference AC is better then the Master Coupler X, the Ref AC is more relax, focused & natural, I bring it home and listening now, very good, I think DR2 will even better a lot, but think of the cost effective, I am happy to use the Ref AC at this time.
