Low-Profile (Right-Angle), High-Quality 15A cable for PS Audio P3?

Cable manufacturers?

Cable manufacturers?
@audiolabyrinth  That is the longest most repetitive ad ever!  My eyes began to bleed trying to read all that.  Hope you're being well compensated by Tara! 
VPI is bringing back the Magic Brick!
Talk about inflation!  Yikes. 
Tachyons?? Really?

Who is using Tachyons in audio? 
CD players = dead?
