Why not PS Audio's Lab cables?

I have perused the "cable" forum, and I tried to do some research on PS Audio's power cables. I have never auditioned any power cables yet, but they seem to be great on paper, being they use higher gauge and more shielding than any of their competitors, and their price is much more modest. However, I don't see too many people in this forum using these cables. Why not?

A nice midpriced AC cable for digital is the JPS Digital AC, in my experience.

Yo: I'm running the JPS Digital AC on my EAD Ultradisc 2000 CD player. I've used a few other cords on it such as Custom Power Top Gun Special (Special = specially made for me because I wanted one without the differential mode filtering) but for low-ish $ the JPS is really quite nice; used price is even better of course. The JPS is plugged into a digital outlet on a Chang Lightspeed 3200 which is sourced from a dedicated line + a WattGate 381 outlet. I don't use an outboard DAC because the EAD sounds plenty good enough as is. The EAD rests on a Black Diamonmd shelf which is sitting on Vibrapods. That's the gist of my CD source lineup; I can tell you more about the rig if desired, but I think this is what you're probably seeking?

I don't run an outboard DAC, but if I did then that's the place for an upgrade cord IMO. YMMV so please don't hesitate to experiment a bit.
