Power Cable Choices for Pre, Power Amps
JPS Labs Aluminata worked best on my amp.  
Audience vs Audioquest
I tried Audioquest Hurricane high current power cables on my amp, DAC and power conditioner. In the end, the only place I kept a Hurricane was on my power conditioner. In my audio system, the AQ Niagara 3000 power conditioner mated with an AQ Hurr...
