Anyone heard Acoustic Zen "Absolute" Power cord?
I've used acoustic zen cables for a while now. And I can say that anything Robert Lee makes is probably very good. But lately I've heard a lot of buzz about Grover Huffman. He makes cables and sells only directly to customers. Click on the link be... 
OCOS speaker cable by Sumiko
I have been using OCOS speaker wires for about 6 years. To get the most out of this wire it is recomended that you use a double run much the same as if you would biwire a speaker. The bass greatly improves with this configuration. Again the config...

I'm using classe 300 as monoblocks for the front left and right, and a single sunfire cinema grand for the surrounds and center. In stereo configuration they were good, but much more liquid when bridged. My speakers are thiels. 300's come up used ... 
Best XLR cable for Wadia 850?
I second the Acoustic Zen Silver Reference. Robert Lee is talented to say the least. Very smooth. Detailed. And some say just a hair below the Valhalla. Price on audiogon is high fours to 550 a pair balanced.
