Best power cable for Whest Audio PS30RDT SE
@curio, that is a different, more expensive cable. I have not heard it so I don't know how it compares to the standard looking Synergistic Research Master Coupler which has no X active shielding.

I agree with millercarbon's comment above. I'll also say that a 14 gauge power cord would most likely sound better than a 10 or 12 gauge wire. 
How much does volume matter when breaking in amps and cables?
IMO: Other components don't need much volume at all, just turned on with a signal running through them. 
Speakers I have Two in mine??
Dave, you are never going to know until you demo the speaker, etc in your system. Bust a move and buy them, decide for yourself what sounds best and then sell the other. 
To Equi-Core or Not to Equi-Core? That is the question!
I agree the 1800 is a very good unit for the money. The few changes made make the 1800 even better. Dealing with Underwood Wally (Walter) is a very good experience, no worries...Read: https://forum.audiogon.com/discussions/perfect-path-total-conta...

YOUR AUDIO JOURNEY COMPLETION!
Hi Calvinj,Time to sit back and enjoy your music. I'll bet your set up sounds awesome. Take a break from the campain trail ;-)

Interesting post. Sounds like an excellent idea. 
Integrated with passive preamp section. Good or bad idea, or both ?
I thought the Gryphon Diablo 300 had a passive preamp section?If I'm wrong, somebody please correct my statment. 
Perfect Path Tecnologies ‘The Gate’
Reflecting back to the past several years I wonder the following:How good would the Gate enhance one's system if they did not have any of the expensive fuses or any of the other products that Perfect Path  Technologies have available? I ask becaus... 
Bought some `Vintage Gear`
pawlowski6132,Nice looking system!I have experienced putting together a system from the early 1950s and I agree it sounded excellent. I wish I still had it but unfortunately, I sold it about six years ago.Enjoy the music ;-) 
Isoacoustics Gaia II on what type of speaker platform?
Just a thought:I'm wondering if a thick (2"-3") maple block would sound better than any type of stone that has been known to smear sound? I'm guessing one won't know until they try it. 
ADVICE PLEASE
I agree with those that say to make your own speaker cables. It's surprising what you can make yourself and how good it can sound.https://www.amazon.com/InstallGear-Gauge-Speaker-Wire-Oxygen-Free/dp/B079VJXN1Z/ref=sr_1_2_sspa?crid...https://www.am...
