Yes - Close To The Edge - SACD

I am not that big of a Yes fan, so I only listened to this once. However, I am a big cable fan, so the eligibility is you need over 250 posts, an upgraded power cord on your SACD player, or plan to buy one. I trust nobody will make something up. So, state power cords make a difference, and let us know what power cable you have or want. 
I will pick a random post next weekend.

In!
Power cords *do* make a difference.
My SACD player has a DIY cable from Carol 10/3 bulk copper strand cable with Oyaide IEC and plug ends. Covered in white/black techflex.
I plan on doing a matching cable for my amp and pre."Some people find it easier to be conceited rather than correct."

And power cords do make a difference in my system - Pangea cords all round on my components.

LOVE Yes!! In please but I for the life of me can't remember the brand of cord and it's a real pain in the **** to get at. I'm using a Denon 2910 for SACD right now. I do know the cord is thick as a snake though. I hope I still qualify. If I win I'll pay it forward by karma'ing one of my extra copies of Close To The Edge on vinyl.SDA-1C (full mods)

I am in, plan to buy a cord for my Denon 3910 and this would be my first SACD!
Powercords do make a difference, I have one on my APC H15 (Premier something or other lol), and have one for my Carver M1.0t (2m Tara Labs cable) and plan to buy a bunch for my Integra 5.9, Pioneer 51FD blu-ray, Parasound 750a, Sunfire TGP-II and anything else I can!"....not everything that can be counted counts, and not everything that counts can be counted."

I already have this disc so I'm not in, but awesome karma! By the way, I have a Pepster's power cord, and it made a whopping good difference.

In please...my cord does not come off my player, but Townshend had some of the best power chords in the business

power cords do make a difference in my system.
I use pangea and signal cable power cords for everything except my krell system.
For the krell system I use ps audio statement power cords.SRT For Life; SDA Forever!
The SRT SEISMIC System:
Four main satellite speakers, six powered subs, two dedicated for LFE channel, two center speakers for over/under screen placement and three Control Centers. Amaze your friends, terrorize your neighbors, seize the audio bragging rights for your state. Go ahead, buy it; you only go around once. -
This may sound crazy. But I own 2 of these SACD's, but neither of them are a numbered version due to stupid happenings from the company I pre-ordered this SACD from originally. YES are my absolute favorite band of all time. If you own a numbered version, I would absolutely like to be in on this Karma please so I can own a numbered copy. If not, I don't need a 3rd copy and please give it to someone else.
I absolutely believe that power cables make a difference and the one I am currently using on my SACD player (just recently modded to output DSD to my DAC Denon DVD-5910) is the JPS Labs "The Digital AC". Good cable that lowers the noise floor of your transport/CD/SACD player with pretty good dynamics.
Taken from a recent Audioholics reply regarding "Club Polk" and Polk speakers:
"I'm yet to hear a Polk speaker that merits more than a sentence and 60 seconds discussion."![:\](https://forum.polkaudio.com/resources/emoji/confused.png ":\")
My response is: If you need 60 seconds to respond in one sentence, you probably should't be evaluating Polk speakers.....

In like Flynn !!!! I'm using a PS Audio AC3 on my Marantz SA-8001 and it definitely makes a difference. Thanks for the chance to win a great recording.If you can't hear a difference, don't waste your money.
-
Not in, only because I already have this great SACD. I pre-ordered it, and think Steve Hoffman did a brilliant job with this remaster. Whoever wins this is going to really enjoy it. Great Karma!
And yes (pun intended), power cords make a difference. I use the Signal Cable MagicPower Digital Reference with my Marantz SA8004 sacd player!
Good luck!Good music, a good source, and good power can make SDA's sing. Tubes make them dance. -
In please. Power cords definitely make a difference. Running one of Pepster's pcs with cryod Furutech connectors with a NAD M55 and a Denon 2900 with another one Pepster's pcs.

The only number on it is AFZ 147. Is that what you mean? Does that make it valuable? If so then I guess I win it.

No, that's just the catalog number for the AF disc. If it is a numbered edition, it should have a sticker on the back somewhere between 1 and (as a guess) 4,000-5,000. AF used to actually imprint the edtion number on the back of the sleeve in gold print. They recently went cheap and just put a sticker on the back with the edition number. And even more recently, they only put a number for the first few thousand.

Great karma. For what it's worth, I too have 2 unnumbered copies for the same reason as headrott. Power cords absolutely make a difference. I use a Pangea on my oppo.

You are going to love that Marantz. My only complaint is it doesn't have balanced outputs, which I think I will need down the road. But the thing sounds incredible.Good music, a good source, and good power can make SDA's sing. Tubes make them dance.
