AC Power cable for ARC Ref 5 se.
Another thing to consider is wall outlets and the metal content.  If they are made of copper, you might want to stay with copper metal in the male plug.  Same with the IEC.I have used and am very satisfied with VH Audio AirSign cables.Your choice ... 
Cryongenically treated in-wall AC power wire
When connecting the new wire to terminals,  clean the wire and new terminals with a  electrical contact cleaner and if you wish, apply a contact enhancer.  In my experience, Furutech Nano Liquid last the longest of the ones I have tried.  
Would you change your amp selection knowing...?
I own a Bryston amp. After getting to listen to a pair of quality mono block  amps, I would have saved some extra money to purchase a pair. 
Neil Young - Guitarist
Beside Daryl, he has a vast model train setup to play with.  World class!For entertaining guitar, Kottke,Fahey, Lang, Knopfler and ,of course, Chuck Berry. 
Romex and breaker switches
Contact Chris at VH Audio.  He will be able to steer you in the right direction and he has all you need at his facility. 
Now, I'm confused.

Oyaide or Furutech plugs
I like Furutech because pure copper is used as opposed to berillium copper used by Oyaide.  VH Audio has a lot of info about plugs and other components used by audio people. 
Best and Worst Rock Concert Moments
Don't know what it is with Jethro Tull, but things happen when he performs.  Mid '70's at Red Rocks somedumbfuc had to throw a beer bottle at a cop and smack him in the face.  It really hit the fan when the cops turned their dogs loose on the crow...

Who makes budget speaker cables which are truly “good” or “exceptional” in quality?
douglas_schroederI cut the ends off a set of cables to "upgrade" to WBT Next Gen Banana plugs (bad mistake).  Bryston, I believe, epoxies the banana plugs to ensure no vibrations enter the cavity where the conductor meets the plug.  Anyway, I foun...
