Power cords for ModWright SCD-XA5400es


I cross-posted this also in the Digital forum.

I just pulled the trigger on upgrading my stock Sony XA5400es with the ModWright mods.

For those of you that have done the mod, what type of power cords did you end up considering and ultimately using? Or did you stay with the stock cords? Are the power cords for the new separate power supply and the player the same brand/model?

TIA,

I've owned the Modwright 5400 for quite a while now. It's a giant killer and you'll be happy you pulled the trigger on the upgrade!!!

Most OEM power cords are inexpensive 16ga. junk. I replaced both power cords(sony & power supply) with inexpensive 14ga. Beldens and am very pleased with the improvements. Rather than pissing your money away on over-priced power cords, your money would be much better spent upgrading a couple of your wall outlets to 20 amp service. The sonic improvements will be far greater!

I'd definitely replace the stock umbilical with Dan's "Truth" umbilical. He discounts it if purchased with the mod and you'll get across the board improvements.
