Power cable thoughts for Krell Kav/Proceed Amp 2?

So I got a ton of help asking about ICs last time, so I am down to PCs. Lots of people suggest getting power first, but great power cables and zero ICs doesn't work well either... What brand and model cables have you found to work best with Krell KAV 22/3250 series and a Proceed Amp2. I'm using one of each in a 7.1 setup. I've read Acrulink, Kimber, Cardas and Nordost seem to be the most popular. I just want the clearest sound I can afford. Also have a HTS 7.1 and a DVD std and a Denon 3930 that all need cables. I have one Cardas Quadlink that I'm unsure where to use it and what else to buy. Thanks as always for any help.

Hi Mbarnes928 - if you want to try some exceptional value for money cables that compete with SOTA cables, try Sablon Audio. I use Purist Audio Dominus and Ann Contego cables throughout my system...except 2 places where i do use the Sablon Audio Gran Corona...at a fraction of the cost.

I know the owner, but am not in any way affiliated. Just have a lot of respect for his work and work ethic. If you google, you'll see some very positive reviews. online at sablonaudio.com

Hi Mechans, Thanks for that. i managed to do a limited shoot-out with transparent audio super pcs, stock pc's, Purist Audio Dom, Ann Contego and the Gran Corona. In general, the stock pc's are excellent from manufacturers like CJ. However, the PAD Dominus and Ann Contego are just better, as is the grand corona...not close...but also depends on the equipment. CJ far less sensitive. The Zanden DAC highly sensitive. The Oppo also sensitive...particulary goes well with gran corona. To each his own. Good luck!
