Didn't Elizabeth start a thread very similar to this question a couple of months ago? 
Where to put one's best power cords??
Some cords are optimized for digital components.  Look at JPS Labs.

Not having a yellow badge is, for me, a badge of honor. 
Digital integrated alternatives to SET tube system
Recently, I was very impressed by an audition of some bog standard AN-E's.  Delightful.But you're really limiting yourself if you want to go solid state AND digital.There are plenty of low-powered, pure Class A transistor amps out there.Starting w...

I can't find immediately the 260dt model you refer to, but I presume this is the 260D CD Transport with optional DAC.  As the name implies, this is something of a rare beast, in that the single box can be had either purely as a transport OR as a p...

Focal Aria 936 / Elac Adante AF-61 / Von Schweikert VR-33 , impressions, thoughts?
I heard the 936's a while ago.  Left me scratching my head, not in a good way or a bad way, just a bit perplexed.  To my ears, they didn't fall on the usual scale that runs from bright/forward/analytical to warm/laid back/musical.  I found it hard... 
Has anyone tried these stunning new CPT power cord?
