audiphile power cords

Thanks Al, your input is always very much appreciated, and I'm sure sometimes my answers are influenced by what I have learned reading your posts.

Al and Tony, I agree, 20 parallel 23ga conductors make up each of three runs from IEC to plug. To me it was somewhat misleading in stating it was 60 conductors until I read how they described their other power cables. However, for this cable they only used enough ink for two sentences to describe it.

I can highly recommend AC cords as they do seem to be a key component when one needs to get current from the wall to the gear.

Not true anymore

Soon all these ridiculous PC debates will be over...

Damn, sorry gentleman, maybe I will phone call Tara Labs and get to the bottom of this, However, I am sure all of you are correct, I really don't understand, I used the caculator provided by Tony, and used it the way the site explained it, Thanks Al and tony.

Audiolabyrinth, as I said the power cord consists of 3 conductors.

Hot - 20 runs of the smaller wire
Neutral - 20 runs of the smaller wire
Ground - 20 runs of the smaller wire

for a total of 60 runs.

You should use 20 in the AWG calculator for number of wires, not 60, to determine the equivalent gauge, as the gauge of the power cord is the size of only one of the conductors, not all 3 of them combined.
