Best 20A IEC power cord
Dear Mr. Chips: As I have stated here before I am a big fan of Pure Note but I have no connection with them. The BMI Whale that I own is the obviously a 15-Amp cord yet I do own the Pure Note 20-Amp cord as well. In the case of Pure Note, the cord... 
Best 20A IEC power cord
Try Pure Note Epsilon, www.purenote.com. They have great power cords with the 20-Amp Hubbell plugs. Wire is 7-gauge silver good for over 30-Amps. Rock solid cord and fully shielded. It bested my BMI Whale Elite which is a pain to use. 
Cable shoot-out: Second summary
Cool! It will be interesting to see your findings after several days of run-in for all the different cables. Take your time, your opinions can change. 
Digital Interconnect?
I agree AES/EBU, it is a balanced standard for long distances. I have used the Pure Note Epsilon with good results and any high-end cable will be pricey in this length. 
What direction should the cable go??????
Try it the other way. You may get different results. 
Speaker Cables, One side longer- bad idea?
Keep them equal so the cable characteristics are matched electrically and sonically. 
Martin Logan Prodigy-which cables please?
Pure Note Epsilon bi-wires, www.purenote.com. Used them on my Statements a while back, incrediable detail. Superior to Valhalla. It think Nordost gets too much press, IMO. You can also tri-wire with subs. 
Need interconnect between Nagra pre to power amp
Pure Note Epsilon, better than Valhalla for less money. 
Your opinion on burn in
Gthrush1: Adding to that I clean my ears before each session with Aural DeWax fluid (available from them at $100/oz). 
Cables that make no sense...
When I heard that the WAMM speaker system now sells for $350k then $12k is cheap for cables. Will the insanity ever end? 
Mapleshade Clearview Ultrathin Interconnects
These cables are very delicate (can easily break). They sounded thin to me, lacking foundation compared to other brands. 
Do you think of the Kimber3033 cableis it worth it
What did you compare them to? I tried Nordost, Acoustic Zen, Silver Audio, Kimber, etc. and found the Pure Note Epsilon to be the best. FWIW. 
Power cord suggestion for Plinius 8200?
I have TG Audio and Pure Note Epsilon power cords. Pure Note cord is 7.5 gauge used on my Plinius SA100 amp (best choice). Also use it on my Levinson amps. TG cord is used on Levinson preamps. 
The best cables for a Levinson set
I have Levinson gear and have settled with the Pure Note Epsilon cables. Really trick with the alloy jackets and they are very transparent. I did a three hour listening session yesterday and was amazed at speed of the speaker cables (you can hear ... 
Best speaker cables for Revel Salons
Depends on how much you want to spend. I like Pure Note so far. Love the Epsilon's but the Sigma's are great for the price. They work great with SS or tube, very liquid. They ate my SPM'S for lunch.
