Default Power cord for Ref 10?

I would like and appreciate feedback and ideas from current owners on what they have found to be a good fit for their Ref 10.
I am currently using the stock cable on the Ref 10 and a RGPC High Tension Wire on the Ref 110. I have considered Transparent Reference, but looking for other suggestions. The pre/amp both run on a shared dedicated 20 amp circuit with no other power conditioning in between. This outlet is only 14 feet from the main panel, so I feel like the power in General is pretty good quality.

I'm using Transparent Reference PL (MM2x). Very good PC and a big step up in musical performance over my previous TA HPPL. I find TA to be a good match to the Ref 10, but have not done any comparison with other brands.

BR,
Sven

Check out Sain Line Systems cables: SAIN LINE SYSTEMS

Warren Gehl, chielf listener at ARC, switched over from Shunyata PCs (which are very good with ARC gear) which he had used for years to Sain Line PCs. I know it has been mentioned in a couple of interviews that Sain Line are his new reference PC cables with ARC gear.

Myself and some of my audio buddies have had very good results with Nordost wire on ARC gear.

Shunyata and Sainline. I've used both and really think they both shine with ARC gear.

Sainline, definitely. Call them and they may even send you one to try. I have tried a lot of other power cords with my ARC gear (5se/150) and these really are best I have tried. I believe many ARC folks use them in addition to Warren. They ought to know best, don't you think??

Thanks. I know Chris Sain.
He is a very nice guy and very helpful.
I definitely need to try one of his power cords.

Wow, that's a $6k power cord for an $8k integrated.
