Power cable Advice...
$1500 per cable gets you midfi cables. You a are better off putting that money into a 4500 pair of speaker cables. better value for money are the 500-650 dollar power cables from Synergistic research foundation and they beat AQ an Nordost. Nordos... 
Seeking Honest Opinions: Your Experience with McIntosh Audio Gear

Luxman leaves me wanting
The Luxman is a midfi sound. Try modwright or quicksilver  
Accuphase E-5000 factory power cord good enough?
my friend used to work for a very well-known HiFi manufacturing amplifier company, and they spend nothing on power cables because they just wanna prove it will turn on. They know no one will actually use them, and they just include them to prove t... 
Accuphase E-5000 factory power cord good enough?
if they gave it to you for free it’s worth nothing! they just include a power cable to prove that the unit will turn on and demonstrate to the dealer that it’s not dead on arrival.
