Power Cord Advice

OK carl I will. Just as long as you have very good wire in your walls and a good outlet or the power will just bottleneck and not do any good. I'm putting together another one so you may have to burn it in. I'm leaving tomorrow for seattle so maybe I could get it out monday or tuesday. E-mail me and we'll set it up. I'll pay for shipping there and you pay for shipping back OK.

Kacz and Carl, If this deal works out, and both you guys agree that the sound is worth the effort, please e-mail me the materials list, especially the materials for the wire itself. I have some Swiss made IEC's and Hubbell three prongs (clamshell). So, primary I need the wire type, gauge and brand information to join the test.

Hi Kacz; I'm a fellow Oregonian (coast) and really interested in your power cord construction. Where did you get your Wattagate and Hubbell plugs? And is connecting the wires to the plugs any problem, ie what kind of connectors are used? Did you twist wires? What kind of cover, if any, did you put on your cord? I hope you and Carl will keep audiogon up to date on review progress? The "Kacz" power cord may have been born! Best Luck. Craig.

I know one should start at the source and work down with powercords.As I am an analog junkie I still wanted to try an aftermarket cord.I had a H.T. PRO-AC11 for 3 weeks and put at least 200 hours on it.I used it on my Rogue 99 preamp outboard power supply.I heard NO difference from the skinny,light stock cord.The PRO-AC11 went back to the dealer.My questions to Kacz are 1) Do you think the K.C.(Kacz Cord) is good enough to give me an improvement over the stock cord? 2) Have you experimented with different lengths to see if I could go with a meter.3) would you build me one,and for how much $$? Thanks!!

Group count me in!!!!!!! I'm definitely looking for upgrading the junk stock wires on my equipment and have been installing Hubbell 5266 with very good success in monster HT 2000 and MIT Z Cord II(what an improvement) that feeds my amplifier... I'm also into taking out the molded IEC on the MIT because I'M SURE I´LL GET BETTER SOUND !!!! as has happened everytime I work on this. Please provide more details on cable...... I don´t recall what gauge the MIT Z cord is. Hints anyone?
