Unusually good power cord for the money?
I beleive the Plinius Amp is considered to be quite good.I dont think you can put a price tag on what works best for a given component.How much you spend matters of course, but some cheap cables can make a big difference and some quite expensive c... 
Pass labs X250.5 vs Jeff Rowland Model 10, or 201
Thanks, Jwon.Did you hear an improvement in sound from 100-hours to 600 hours ? At 100 hours I still think the bass needs a little refining.I am using the Pass Amp with my APL 3910 direct. No Preamp. 
Pass labs X250.5 vs Jeff Rowland Model 10, or 201
I just bought a Pass X 350.5 . I have 100 hours on it .I would definitly say it has a very natural midrange. Not harsh in any way. Sort of tube like. Center stage is very deep.Not sure on how many hours it takes of playing time to reach its full p... 
Zucable's Varial
Warren,I did not mean to offend you with my comments on the Zu Cables. I took exception to the comparison to a class of cables that they just don't belong.I'll admit I bought the Zu cables a few years back based on the hype at the time. The Zu peo... 
Zucable's Varial
I own the Varials, balanced and single ended. Also the Ibis =dual runs and the Mother power cord.Comparing these cables to the likes of Kimber Select is far fetched.I am using these cables in my HT second system. The Varials are better than $500 A...

ground loop HUM please help
Sounds like the problem is ground related. I had the same problem with my Krell KSA 250.Some suggestions1. If your Preamp is a 2 prong plug style, plug the Preamp and the Amp into different circuits.2. If the Preamp is a 3 prong use the cheater on... 
To Plug Power Amps Direct in to Wall or Not ??
I would never do this but along with Perfect Sound comments.I have read (I think it was in Bound for Sound) that along with putting a dedicated ground rod outside, you should also keep the ground around the rod wattered. Preferably with Salt Water... 
Anybody tried 20th Anniversary Purist cables?
I have been trying the Aqueous Speaker cables from the cable comapny and I am not impressed. My old Ridgestreet Poimia !! cables sound better . Especially in the bass quality. 
Powercords for Krell 400xi ?
I was using Shunyata Anaconnda Alpha with my Krell. After trying many. Realy brings out the bass tonal quality. I mean, not just deep thump but clear smooth bass notes. Quite pleasing!The Decca has been descibed as being very ridgid and hard to us... 
Electraglide Epiphany -X VS Shunyata
I own both the Epiphany X and the Shunyata Anaconnda Alpha.Different but great cables.I dont recommend any Electraglide cords on high current drawing Amps.For me the Shunyata on my Amp and the Electraglide X on my APL 3910 seems like a good match 
Zucable's Varial
Compared to the Kimber 1130's!!!! ???? Come on!I own both these cables . You my friend are no John Kennedy... OOPs wrong ranting!Anyway, the Zu Cables are nice and priced where they should be. Dont get carried away with the high end comparisons.
