What are the best looking power cables?
What you really mean Jaykapur is that you have found proof in a light-hearted set of posts, some of which have been entirely flippant, for something you already believed. 
Music that You Have JUST BOUGHT, and can
Rushed out and bought "Essence". Listening to it at work, you guys got it right. Can't wait to get Lucinda home.I also got Tom Russell's "Borderland" while I was there - sounds very nice too.

Sakura Systems OTA Cable Kit
Megasam, I tried the home-made variety (three different designs) and concluded that the bearings worked well under CDP but not my tube power amps. Then I got the Darumas and was blown away - different league from the home-made ones and so am happy...

Sakura Systems OTA Cable Kit
Dekay, to answer your previous question, my beach house is undergoing work at present and so the system is stored (too cold here right now to crave the beach anyway). Well-spotted, it would have been an ideal way to run in the OTA cable. When I se... 
"Pace", it's importance for enjoyment?
I can't help but be struck by the variance in definition of PRAT. For me it is about how notes start and stop. If I could simplify for a moment and refer to a note in three parts - its attack, its body and its decay. A system with poor pacing has ... 
Monoblocks or upgrade to larger amp?
My friend suffers from being an electrician and so discussions about cables are not too meaningful.
