Unity in cable manufacturers?
simple answer is no  
Audio nonsense
@dill fact is I did try Belt stuff in home- zero effect; I compared a system with and without the Tice clock in a NYC shop - zero effect. So so much for the assumption that mine are the comments of someone who has had no experience with the object... 
Your single most significant purchase mistake?
@slovett At one point I owned a Proceed HPA 2 amp; I thought it was pretty good but it died at one point and needed to be serviced. The company repaired it at no charge, which I thought was great. As best as I can recall, I eventually sold that am... 
How many systems do you have?
living room setup; bedroom setup; plus damaged partially working gear I've not had the heart to throw away in the garage that provides either radio or through an inexpensive cable, streaming from my phone

Power Cable Suggestions Needed

$100K system build - % breakdown of spend

@jl35 very cool that you still have the 1019!    
Power cable for an Auralic Aries G1
@williewonka  Thank you Steve- never heard of Zavfino! I do like my OCC interconnects & speaker cables   
RCA cables to a subwoofer- how much does it matter?
@ghdprentice Thank you! I am skeptical that putting more money for sub cables will make a difference. I agree a 2nd sub is the best bet. As it is now, I am ahead of he curve as my sub was gifted to me. The idea of having two subs, JL Audio,SVS, ...
