1.0 vs. 1.5 Meter Digital Cable
I once owned and tested the Illumination D-60 cable: .5/M, 1/M, 1.5/M. I did not hear a difference. I have spoken to many audiophiles that say today, the shorter the better.

Hobby, Hobby, Hobby?
Ramstl, on this I must agree with what Swampwalker says. You are obviously into music in a more in-depth and sensitive manner than most of us. I love music and I enjoy upgrading equipment to obtain the sound I’m looking for. Since I’m also a part ...

So what do most people do with cherries? After you are done you can appreciate it and reflect back upon it's significance. 
aftermarket power cords for Levinson 383 int. amp ?
The BMI Whale Elite would work very well. I would bet the new Whale Elite mk II would be better. If those are to expensive then consider the BMI Eel.
