"Sunshine Cleaners" Sunshine Cleaning, maybe? If so, +1 @slaw . Besides dramas that are about everyday people in everyday scenarios that turn sideways on them (such as A Map Of The World with Sigourney Weaver), I seem to gravitate to dark movi...

@roxy54 , do they take a good bit of oomph to drive?  
A not sarcastic question for the power conditioner/upgraded power cord folks
@audphile1 , am I mistaken or did I get the impression from a previous thread that you have mixed and matched power cords before?  Do you see that as problematic?

No, @grislybutter , meeting Lucinda and doing an imitation  of a coked up Dennis Hopper in Apocalypse Now is not in the same league.  This one is yours, my friend--you have earned it.    
Directional wires/cables
The brands of interconnects with directionality, as specified by the manufacturer, that I have, have all stated that the reason for the directionality is that the shield is grounded at the source end and is floating at the destination end. @bim...

Actually, @kennymacc , after giving thought to this, what I believe that I will wind up doing is moving my outlets and going directly in to the wall from my gear.

@immatthewj @wyoboy Fine! I guess I take it back, seeing the Queen doesn't make it as fun a story to tell than getting busted for it   Bragging rights are yours, @grislybutter .  
A not sarcastic question for the power conditioner/upgraded power cord folks
I wonder if the power cord from the wall to the power conditionner , should be a low  guage  one ?  Such as 8 or 10 ?    According , that there are several gears connected to the power conditionner . I would think that it should be, @maxwav , a...

Everything is important!!!  Get the best power cable that you can afford to go from your wall socket to your power conditioner.  Just that simple. @kennymacc , it would be that simple, except if you read through the thread, the conditioner I am...

@audphile1 , thanks for the link to the Pangea . . . that would be the quickest easiest. I think in that thread I referred to I asked about if there was such a thing as an "audiophile power strip" out there, and it appears that this one would fill...

@grislybutter , I cannot even come close to topping that. As far as the Lynyrd Skynyrd experience that the OP shared, that’s another one I have nothing to compare to. I watched a couple of documentaries about that band, and the one I liked the be...

. . . and speaking of strange, I guess after the thunder we got some freezing rain--I just went to throw a bag of garbage out and stepped onto a skating rink.  We don't really get that all too often here.    
A not sarcastic question for the power conditioner/upgraded power cord folks
@audphile1 , I guess that at this very moment I have it hooked up with pre and CDP to power conditioner, and amp so it will plug straight to the wall. I get almost daily emails from PCX and ACX and they sent me one with the XLO Ultra Plus marked ... 
Directional wires/cables
. . . and I just did a quick search on speaker wire directionality , specifically Kimber 8TC, and came up with this discussion right here on A'gon . . . https://forum.audiogon.com/discussions/signal-direction  
Directional wires/cables
I use Kimber Silver Streak(s)  all the way through (CDP-pre-amp) and this thread got me curious, and from the searches that I did they were saying that the heat shrinked "Silver Streak" logo around the cable should read so that the 'S' is at the e...
