Jeff Rowland 725 monos - best power cords?

Any Jeff Rowland 725 owners out there who have experimented with different power cords?
I am still using them with the stock 20 euro cords as I do not have any power cords with c19 connectors (20A) on the equipment side...
Not many shops here seem to carry them either...
Any recommendations, comparisons from users would be greatly appreciated...

Also as my amps sit far from the wall I am running them of an audiophile multisocket extension block, would it be better to get very long cords for each to the wall directly, or will a decent cord to the extension block and start from there with shorter good cords work?

You can google Clarity Cables Vortex power cords reviews. They aren't as impressive looking as Audioquest power cords, but to my ears they sound great.

Do try Evidence Audio "Source" mains power cable. I've used with Model 8 and Corus/PSU pre and its very good cable.

Like @ricred1 , I have a 625 S2, but i have not experimented nearly as widely as he has, but if his suggestions don’t pan out for you, you might look at ZavFino (https://www.zavfino1877.com/) a Canadian manufacture of high quality cables, albeit not as fancy as those mentioned by ricred1. They are widely distributed in Europe, it seems.

I use the Majestic MKII (12 AWG 100% Japanese PC-OCC single crystal copper conductors) and like the results.  (I was using the 11AWG “Legion” with my PSU for the CORUS, but Jeff Rowland himself assured me that the power cord does not matter for the PSU, as long as it fits the connection well. So, I redeployed that cable elsewhere.)

I was wondering if anyone else has had a conversation with Jeff. He is redoing and upgrading 2 model 3 amps. I've just had a real hard time getting them to answer an email. They were signed for in January. It just feels a little off.

kirkwallace,

I replaced my 625 S2 in 2021.
