There are indeed subtle differences on the SQ for different type of power cords, I have to admit. But, just subtle. I had tried Shunyata's Sidewinder, Mojave, Taipan and Anaconda. Yes, I have to admit these aren't the top of the line power cords, but still are expensive, in my opinion. And, just to derive a tiny bit of improvement on sound on such monies, it is just not justifiable. At the end, I used Audioquest NRG-X3 costing me less than US$80, and has a connector that fits into Le200 with back cover on. This is aesthetically fitting for me and also provide a placebo effect on me that it improves the sound of my Le200 better.
