What power cord are TW Acustic TT owners using?

Hi guys! I ordered a Raven One from Jeff at High Water Sound and it should be arriving soon. I've had no experience with power cords for turntables as my previous ones have all had captive cords. System is CJ-PV5 preamp, Belles 300A power amp, Unity Audio Sig One speakers, Wadia 830 cd player, Analysis Plus Oval-9 speaker wires, Harmonic Tech Pro Silway-3 interconnects. Any thoughts on PC's in the $300 to $500 range would be gratefully appreciated. Oh, the Raven One will have a 12 inch Ortofon arm and Dynavector 20X cart. Thanks in advance!--Mrmitch

I think this money could be better spent on a better Dyna cartridge or others to show you what your Raven One and Ortofon RS-309 are capable of or other things like Mint Best tractor, etc. I use a Raven One but i don't put too much thought into power cord, especially one to a small motor controller.

Jaspert is right. I think the money on a "better power cord" should be used towards a better cart. It will be a more obvious and direct improvement considering what your are using it with.

I agree with both responses above. I have had my Raven AC for 9 months and I did not know that it came with out a power cord when I got it. I used a basic cord I had around. Three months ago i made my own with quality 14 gage wire and Wattgate connectors. could not tell any diff.

Save power cord upgrades for later and get the best cart you can now.

Very happy with the Raven AC.
