Thanks Charles (we have the same name, so it felt like I was talking to myself for a moment!).

Other than my turntable, which has a captive cord, the last piece is my laserdisc player. It doesn't get much use and has a PS Audio Jewel AC on it now, a C7P cord. I debate whether to do anything with that. Transparent doesn't offer C7 connectors as I recall, so the other option to consider is a Shunyata Venom Digital cord. The reason for the change would be for consistency; all my other aftermarket cords are Transparent (sources, preamp, amps) or Shunyata (power conditioners, TV). On the other hand, I decided that should my LD player fail I wouldn't repair it, so If I hold to that I'd have no use for the Venom cord. I do have a VooDoo C7P to C13 adapter, but I recall that the grip wasn't what I'd like, and the extra HPPC I have is only 1m, too short for my needs. So I'll think about this one a bit more, needless to say.
