Pass Lab X1 and X250 - Which XLR?
The Pass gear is very critical of cables (like my Krell). I suggest you spend more dollars now instead of buying upgraded cables later. My suggestion is the Pure Note Cerulean. These are phenomenal cables for the money and you won't have to upgrad... 
discovery 123 spk cable....
Used this cable about 10 years ago. Great for bi/tri wire. Joe really has some nice products and has been around for many years. 
Cobalt cable theory on bi-wiring. Fact or fiction?
Bi-wiring works especially with cables optimized for the lows and the highs. 
What's the correct plug for 20Amp power cord?
Per UL/CSA if the power cord is rated 20-Amp, it must have a 20-Amp wall plug. Also 12 AWG wire. I would contact JPS to see if it indeed has 12 AWG wire. 
Need good Component Video Cables
A good and low cost option is RG-6U cable. No need to spend big money on video cables.

Buy used. Many good bargains here in Audiogon. 
Your opinion on cable spending
Speaker cables generally cost more so the 50/50 rule is not valid. If you spend $1500 on speaker cables then you will have $1000 left for i/c's which may be a couple of 1m pairs. 
Speaker cables for panels of Martin Logan Sequel
I own the ML Prodigy speakers and find that the Cerulean cables are an excellent fit. See my system:Sonic Genius' Reference Stereo System a/o February 2004:Martin-Logan Prodigy speakers.Krell FPB400cX power amp. Modified with IEC power inlet.Krell... 
Pure Note Cerulean
JT: What brand of cables were you using before the Ceruleans? 
Pure Note Cerulean
I have not found the AH cooker to speed up time on cables. Some will argue the current is too high for interconnects. I no longer use one. I just listen to my discs and enjoy better sound over time as the cables burn-in. 
Pure Note Cerulean
I originally used the Siltech VPI-Sutherland connection, now the Cerulean which is very detailed and musical. Epsilon Ref. did not work well here.The Epsilon Refs V4 were very good cables until I heard the Ceruleans. There is no comparison IMO. Th...

NOrdost with bottom end....
I agree. I used to own SPM Ref. and they were thin sounding and not very focused. Cardas cables are much heavier in the bottom.
