Fuzztone,
After reviewing the spaghetti bowl of wires behind the stereo rack I have started a quest to shield what can be shielded. I have built XLR cables (Mogami 2534 star quad wire & Neutrik connectors), RCA interconnects (Canare star quad wire and Nakamichi connectors), shielded 3 conductor power cords (Mogami 3104 wire and Sonarquest connectors), speaker cables (Canare 4s11 wire and Nakamichi locking banana plugs). I have chosen the DIY route as to maximize the best-bang-for-the buck scenario and not spend thousands chasing that last 2% of improvement. The last power cables to be shielded are the 2 conductor cords to the pre-amp, DVD player and TV. These are all polarized plugs. What my research has taught me is I can use a C13 connector in place of a c17. It appears I will be building (2) 3 conductor shielded power cords. The DVD player uses a C7p, I need to dig up more information on this cable build. When this project has completed I hope to have removed all of the 'hum' background noise and cleaned up the spaghetti bowl behind the stereo rack.
Adg101,
There is a lot of good information on the VH Audio site. The Furutech connectors are on my radar. I will contact them and see if they have a C7p plug. and a right angled c13 plug. The wire looks very high quality but I have several feet of the Mogami wire that I have left over from the other builds and will be using this.
Thanks again for both of your responses.
