Upgrade Power Cord for FM Tuner

@hickamore 

Funny. Didn’t know it was recommended for your tuner.
I recommended the Kimber because of my experience with these cords on DAC(pk14 ascent  cord), integrated (pk10 ascent) and phono stage (pk14 base) where I am getting excellent results. No coloration, super low noise floor. Just good power delivery. 
EMM Labs that manufacture EMM and Meitner have a long standing relationship with Kimber Kables. Kimber even makes power cords for the EMM components that are included in the box. Those are just base versions and that’s what I have on phono stage. So I decided to try them on my Meitner DAC and then on the amp and they ended up replacing a far costlier Nordost Frey 2. 
Not sure who or what Gotham Audio are, but if the tuner isn’t a critical piece I guess any half decent 14 gauge power cable will be better than the 18 gauge stock based on how the stock cord is described in this thread. 

 "I don’t recall power cords being a big issue in the 70s-80s . . . "

We have been thoroughly brainwashed thru marketing close to 50 years now. 

My posts didn’t mention the tuner is connected to a PS Audio Powerplant which is plugged into wiring/panel that’s been updated. Perhaps the "clean power" negates any PC upgrade?

Having a captive PC, I’ll never know🤣

MD 108/108T is still a top notch FM tuner with/without aftermarket PC/IC’s.

I have vintage Amperex Bugle Boy tubes in the audio out and that seems to make the only noticeable difference.

Again, YMMV.

Since we’re talkin FM tuna’s we all know nothing will make up for inferior antennae/positioning AND quality broadcast (which is in short supply, unfortunately)

LONG LIVE FM RADIO!!

If you want to make a Power cable for your Tuner, use 1.0mm cross section cable 17awg, make the line 2 metres long and fit solid hard plastic plugs at both ends. If you can, you could Silver Solder the contacts. It's worth doing so that you have a reference for future cable purchase.

Interesting, thanks.

@tablejockey I don’t use power regeneration or power conditioning. Two dedicated lines. Simple system. DAC with built in network card, integrated amp, table, phono stage, speakers. Power cords make a difference in my system. But….if I had a tuner, I would probably buy a decent used power cable from an established manufacturer, just because it looks nicer than a stock cord, and call it a day. 
Other than a cool factor, what else does a tuner offer? I’m genuinely curious…
