Essence®gZero10 Interconnect cables single ended
Williewonka: Pure Note, yes, as I was one of their Beta testers back in 2000. Sonic Precision, I think they were in business a couple of months. 
Essence®gZero10 Interconnect cables single ended
Sounds like an incredible "plug" for this company. "Last cable you will ever buy," no way Jose. 
Silver cables or copper?Any opinons.
A properly designed and run-in silver cable does not sound bright. The wire gets a bad rap. 
Nordost Valhalla
The Vahalla's can be edgy and expensive. I use the Cabledyne Reference silver XLRs and the full spectrum is very smooth and focused. Prices are crazy cheap. FWIW.This review convinced me: http://www.audiokarma.org/forums/showthread.php?t=510810 
Rhodium vs Gold AC connectors
Rafael: I have tried the Furutech RH and AU plugs and agree with your consensus. You must also match the plug to the outlet. I also did not find any wear issues with either plug 
should i have a long USB or analog cable run?
USB longer, IMO. 
Furutech Gold and Copper connector
Higher current breaks in connectors and cables faster. Try a refrigerator or air conditioner. 
blue jeans cable?
Like Monoprice but higher end. 
Need "warm" interconnects advice
The Gabriel line of cables did what you ask for in my system but I prefer more detail at less expense. For far few dollars, try a used pair of Cardas Cross cables (thick and warm). 
Need 3 meter for Benchmark DAC to VTL Amps
I own the Benchmark DAC1 tied to a Triode 300B amp. I use the pure conductor Cabledyne Reference. I own both the copper and silver models (both are good). If you prefer more rounded mids, the copper model is the choice. Silver model is better for ... 
Cerro vs Romex 10-2 for internal wiring
I prefer to run individual 10 AWG solid copper wires in plastic conduit. Sounds better than any Romex I have tried. 
Why are there no high end cheater plugs?
Answer is liability. Someone gets shocked and you can guess what happens next. 
Thoughts on these budget speaker cables please?
Preferred the Grovers over some that you tried. 
Best XLR IC's for around $300/pair?
Cabledyne. Copper version is in your price range or the silver for $100 more. I have not heard a better cable in my system. Very open and neutral and superior build quality. 
Is there a minimum length for power cords?
IMO, no sonic difference with unshielded cords (1m - 5m).
