Cutting the captive mains cable near to the item and then using a connector to attach a new audiophile mains cable.

The cd player i have in mind is a marantz cd5400 (marantz seemed to fit captive cables to most of their equipment)

Has anyone done with and noticed a real audible improvement or is this just silly?

Are you using the analog or digital outputs from the CD player?

Unless you're getting obvious electrical noise (e.g. RF interference) coming across the coax line, there's no reason to swap out the power cord on the CD player.
