Krell FPB amps & Pure Note Sigma power cords
I did the same on my Krell (installed IEC socket). I used the Sigma cord originally and now the Paragon. The Paragons are shielded which sound cleaner, IMO. Great power cord. 
VH Flavor Four power cord with SCHUKO plug adapter
Non issue, IMO. I could not hear a difference. 
The most detailed speaker cable??
What a crazy, off-topic thread. Poor HarnellT asked a simple question and ended up with politics. Reminds me of the Bill Maur show. This dilemma is very simple; try/buy some cables that appear to improve the sound of your system and be happy. 
sonic signature of Pure Note Paragon Question
Comparing a $375 cable to a $3500 cable? No contest. Why do you think Pure Note will best Nordost? In my all tube system the Paragons eliminate the ringing of cymbals, a typical problem with many cables I have owned. Since the Paragons have great ... 
Warm interconnects recommendation
In my evaluations, Cardas is rich. If your system tends to be bright and thin try Cardas Cross or Golden Cross.

Not a Cardas cable for sure, that is very rich and heavy. I had to put many hours on the Paragons before they bloomed, but not uncommon for occ silver cables. After about 300 hours the balance was perfect. My acid test is percussion and these cabl...

Rickmak: What did you finally decide on for cables??? Like to know a good match for MAC gear.

Golden Ref. is warmer and flatter imo compared to Pure Note or Harmonic Tech. Just depends on your components and prefs. Overall the Paragon is a good cable and is about in the middle but silver is more revealing. This means you will hear more fla...

Powercord to tame brightness and add musicality
The Paragon (Pure Note) pc seems to work for me on my KMA-250s (these are antiques now). It is a very quiet cord with no added brightness. I upgraded from the Sigma model which has been a popular choice for Krell gear (see searches). Price is righ... 
Review: Pure Note Paragon Interconnect
I have also been a long time Pure Note customer and have owned their Signature-Cerulean cables. I am really satisfied with the Ceruleans, they do everything well, not a typical etched silver cable. Eventually I will have to upgrade to the Paragons. 
Pure Note Paragon vs. Kimber Select
I have used Pure Note cables for many years and am a happy customer. I did own Kimber Black Pearls once which were OK but costly. I currently own the PN Cerulean which is very neutral in my system. I will most likely upgrade to the Paragons at a l... 
Help - Mark Levinson Owners
Well if the newly announced Pure Note Paragon power cord is better than their old Sigma, I would check that out. I have one on order but it will be a month before I can evaluate it. Price was $375 for 2m. FWIW.http://www.purenote.com 
Can a wall socket dramatically improve sound? Yes
Anything is better than the stock 39 cent wall outlet. I use cryo Hubbell 8300. 
Interconnect between VTL tube pre and Bryston amp
My .02, Pure Note Cerulean. Great detail and body. Just bought a few more on sale. They work great on my new Tenor amps.http://www.purenote.com
