HT bypass -[ which RCA Interconnect
Thanks, Im in Canada, seems like they dont have that one in particular at the length I need. They have some others, but might actually come out slightly higher priced than BJC, I'll keep looking on amazon, but thanks for that one.   
Pre Amp suggestions for Sonus Faber Olympica III w/ x250.8

New expensive power cord for amp and no change in sound?
I will be testing this soon on a Pass amp as well. So this thread is definitely interesting. What I can say is , Ive noticed quite a substantial benefit when I upgraded PC's for my streamer dac, Preamp and older Integrated Amp.  
Preamplifier sound Quality impact in home theatre bypass

DAC suggestion for PC
