The back of the 963sa only has two prongs for a powercord. If you buy a powercord with 3 holes in it, how does that work?

That just means the chassis isn't grounded, no big deal for a CDP. It uses a standard IEC socket, correct? just with only two prongs.. A new cord would just have an unoccupied hole for the ground - no big deal.

But as dd3mon said, you can use any one you want.

The Venhaus Flavor 3 is also made for ungrounded digital gear, and a lot of people seem to really like it.

You might also consider the Virtual Dynamics line.

I agree with KR, the Audioquest NRG1 is killer, and the built in RF stopper improves the performance considerably. Looks nice too!

It does not look like there is anywhere on the back of the 963a where that type of powercord can plug into. All I see is a slot of a standard plugin. Am I missing something here?

 

[morphsci]

Yep you can use any power cord you want. I currently use a VD power 3 which is a grounded cord, but it fits in there perfectly.

 

[Kieran Comito]

Yeah, I know the VD 3 will fit in there, but I sure do not see how the Audioquest one from the link can fit anywhere on the back of the 963a.

correction on the AQ cord, it should be the NRG2 with the regular 3 pin IEC, not the NRG1.

Agreed. That appears to be the wrong type of connector.

 

[omer]

yes, for most IEC's, however, there are a lot of players such as Onkyo and Toshiba, and..... that have a 2 prong cord that is detachable. AQ's NRG1 was made for this application, and makes a marked difference. The NRG2, 3, 4, and 5 are for everything else.

I have been thinking about getting the AQ NRG1 for my Pioneer DVD-414 player. So it actually makes a difference? Will the NRG1 work with receivers and turntables? I have a Technics receiver and a Technics turntable will detachable power cords.

 

[omer]

yes, if it's got the 2-prong detachable cord as most Technics pieces do, then go for it. You won't be dissapointed.

 

[soundboy]

thanks omer!!

always a pleasure, in the quest for better listening.
