I need a power cord for my pre-amp and CDP. Can someone recommend me a brand that inst too thick?

I'd like to keep it around $50 for each and around 6ft,

Thanks,

    Pangea PGAC14SE about $60 for 1m, a bit more for 2m

    I am not so sure its going to be under 50 though since he needs a 6 footer. Give him a try though, he made a cable for me and I like it. I am using it on my Integra which is being used as a pre, but it sure feels much beefier than the stock one :smile:

    it appears that the ac14 se models in the two meter are all sold out

    are the SE models really worth the premium?

    I picked up the pangea ac14se for my CDP and really like the results. I know the ac9 is made for amps but it might be too big for my tight area. Will the ac14se be suitable for a amp use?

    I like the old PS Audio Prelude simply because it has a smaller diameter plug housing then most power cords; plus a removable ground pins that can be handy. Used prices can be decent, and within your price range.
