Power Cable with a "soft" top end
Kbuzz - rather than me just throwing out a name and model of a power cord like the previous posters did, how about you describing your system components and cabling and what component you are considering this power cord for - that way you might ge... 
Digital Cable SPDIF/COAX to AES/EBU Balanced?
Ck - this is, I believe, a definite problem. AES/EBU digital transmission specs call for 110 Ohms and SPDIF calls for 75 Ohms - so what company is going to make you an upconverting 75 Ohm to 110 digital cable and how could they possibly do that? U... 
In-Wall Long Runs of Speaker Cable
Scott- for my money, you can't beat Kimber Kwik 12 speaker cable which is in-wall rated and an excellent product that can even be used as a bi-wire. At $1.85/ft it is hard to imagine anything available that is better quality or value. 
Integrated Owners: I Need an Excellent Power Cord
Hey Foster, I suggest that you try some power cords in the system from someone like the Cable Co who has that available, but one power cord that works well with this integrated amp is the Audience PowerChord ( whether the "e" version or not is up ... 
Integrated Owners: I Need an Excellent Power Cord
Hey Foster - I would really like to help you out with a recommendation or two, but in order to do that, I would need to know WHAT integrated you are going to use the power cord on. Too many people on this forum have agendas other than trying to he... 
Speaker match
Max - I would take a serious look at the Reference 3A Grand Veena speakers with your A/R gear. That would be a very, very nice reference level setup for you. 
Are planar speakers less prone to room interaction
Hudson - actually, insanely varied surfaces and room irregularities are a good thing with audio reproduction as they tend to disperse sound waves. That being said - windows are not. You want to treat the windows with Marigo Labs window dots, which... 
20amp cord
Just a word of caution here - RG products use and oversized iec connector so that the only cables that fit snugly are (what a surprise) Richard Gray's. You can use other cables, but you will need good, old fashioned friction tape to build up the s... 
Long speaker cables - cost vs performance
Hi JB - If foe whatever reason you can't get things closer, then you should look at cables that have exceptional performance at longer lengths, from the low cost OCOS cables, the Synergistic Research Tesla cables with their active shielding,and th... 
Premium guitar cables? Do they exist?
JPS Labs also makes an very good guitar cable in their SuperConductor Q series of cables. 
Best 6M IC cable
Gerrym5 - I would have to add the Nirvana SX Ltd to the mix - this is an excellent XLR cable for long runs, works well with tube gear and images better than anything else that I have ever tried. Truly an excellent cable set for this application! 
a tube amplifier repair technician
I will also chime in on Bob Backert - he is a phenominal technician with tube gear and one of the nicest people you would ever want to meet. I wish that there were a lot more people in this industry that were as pleasurable to work with 
What speaker cables and interconnects for Dali MS4
Wow- usually the guys that post on this site are all over themselves making recommendations. In my experience, there are a couple of cables that I know will work well with this system- both Stereovox and Nirvana. I have a couple of customers that ... 
RCA IC's to connect DAC to integrated amp
Nirvana and Wavelength have long been a great match together and I think you might want to aim at the Nirvanas even though they might be at the top of your price range. I believe that the Cable Company is running a special on the SL interconnects ... 
Analysis Plus Oval 9 & Vandersteen 3As
Analysis Plus does offer their cables with their NGS connectors which are 0.48" wide and should fit the terminal strip posts that Richard V insists on using for his (excellent) speakers. This, of course, is going to limit you to NEW speaker cables...
