Power Cables

[gray]

For those wanting to make a power cord themselves, with an IEC fitting that will allow the use of the back cover, you could try the Cardas 3455R

This IEC connector does not fit the D-Premier/250 unless a lot of the housing on the upper right is removed (sandpaper/dremel). I am using it for my diy power cable. An IEC connector which fits without modification and is also of high quality is Oyaide 4781 PBG or BSR http://www.revolutionpower.com/p/Oyaide+...ector/182/
I have a small preference for the Oyaide but that one is more difficult to find.

It seems that there must be some more room under the cover of the 170 compared to the D-Premiere/250, despite a slimmer case, as I am able to slide the back cover on over an unshaven Cardas 3455R relatively easily, but it is a tight fit. A light sandpapering to the top surface would make it even easier.
