Can I replaced an attached power cord?


I have a proceed cdp3 cdplayer which comes with a fixed power cord. Is there a way to upgrade this cord to a higher end one?

Mapleshade offers a solution. I don't have any experience with it however. I would expect it to perform well given their reputation.
You can go about it two different ways. Cut out an opening for an IEC jack or put in another captive PC.

I've done both styles & they took about the same amount of work, as I had to enlarge the opening for a bigger strain relief when going to a bigger captive. With this particular captive, I also had to enlarge the holes in the circuit board, so the first thing you should do is take off the cover & see what's involved.

The benefit of the IEC jack is you can experiment w/other PC's.
Please mind that you will also add an extra connector instead of having a solid wire to your power outlet.
