"Audiophile" Power Cables: The Greatest Audio Conspiracy Theory of All Time?
An audiophile version of "Mein Kampf".  I'm right and everybody else is wrong and stupid.  Not enough derisive toxicity in the pool, so you added more.  Super gemacht!  Presibo.  
Puritan 156 Power Cord
Chris is building a 20A cord for my Puritan PSM 156.  Furutech DPS 4.1 cord stock, with Fl-50 MNCF and FI-52 NCF connectors.  His picks after I stated my desire for a no-holds-barred cable.  We'll see how it goes.   Should be epic.  
A Plug For a Power Cable and a Retailer
Thank you for clarification and valuable input.  Chris is just going to build a whole 1.5m cable.  His take: ”I'd be pairing these with Furutech FI-50 MNCF (standard wall plug, though Furu also has a version for 20A wall plugs if you prefer) and ... 
A Plug For a Power Cable and a Retailer
@audphile1 Please clarify.  Best I can determine the Puritan PSM 156 has a type G plug IEC for UK.  I own the PSM with their stock cable.  So you replaced with Furutech on the IEC end a type G?    If you were to do it again, where would you go wi... 
Puritan PSM 156 connecting Puritan Grounding Products?
Conduct the chase with a professional.  I made the complete run with someone smarter than me, Tom at Big Ear Stereo in Tempe.  He gave great insight into all of the Puritan products and the why and how of each one.  I even grounded all of my compo... 
The goal of audio reproduction
OP:  The goal of audio reproduction.  Wow!  Seems intolerably myopic in scope. The OP constructed a gross assumption of confined utilization. What about those who enter car audio contests in which the parameters are simply bandwidth and decibel p... 
CAT 5 in 2008 built house
Through all of this labyrinth, I'm doing CAT 6a through Blue Jeans Cable.  It will be temporarily run upstairs until such time I can have someone properly do an in-wall install.  Hope that meets with everyone's approval.  Thanks everyone.  
CAT 5 in 2008 built house
It is CAT 5e.  I just want to run a crazy length 150 ft. temporarily from the box downstairs to music server upstairs for now.  That should work unless told otherwise.  Will fix correctly in future.

Metadata for music server.  Artist info, artwork, tracks, etc.  
Something other than Harbeth SHL5
Love British bloodline speakers.  My wife’s speaker below run with Luxman 509X and appropriate front end.  They sit atop Sound Anchor Stan’s with Herbies Fat Dots.    
Whole reference system was stolen, need budget friendly integrated. Help Please!
   
Audiphile Press: Am I jaded, experienced, or has it declined?
I sort of get the glad handing of reviewers and manufacturers, the money thing.   As a years long viewer of "Top Gear", I loved it when they would wholly thrash a European supercar for its inability to simply fit through the streets of its home c... 
"Audiophile" Power Cables: The Greatest Audio Conspiracy Theory of All Time?
I'm sorry, I was easily distracted by the ad below for "20 Inch Brown Ombre Wig With Bangs For Women".  The model looked 15.  Were you saying something important?  Or, was it unsubstantive with a broad smear of pedantic?   
"High end" store snobbery
You live in a college town.  Easy to sell that piece in that market and move on.  Don’t haul it around. Portland dealers mentioned, Stereotypes Audio and Echo Audio will both provide a much richer retail experience.  Plus…NO SALES TAX!  Stick it ... 
Fantasy or reality? Inexpensive solid state preamps that get you 80% there?
No offense, but I've run the Apt Holman years ago and it was truly lifeless in my system.  You deserve much better.  The 4K estimate is close enough for Sugden Masterclass which I also own.  It is remarkable.  I give a Stereophile weblink only for...
