Granny ring, Jetrexpro, all

Forgot to mention that I ordered SonarQuest (sp?) rhodium plated connectors for the next batch of power cables. The guys from Mad Scientist Audio posted their experience with these connectors on their blog. I didn't spring for the top of the line connectors they refer to in the post...yet.

I terminated my Belden interconnect cable with Canare F10 RCA plugs last night. My experience with these RCA plugs is that they need 150 hours to break in. They are in my back room system breaking in for about the next week. I may have mentioned this already but after listening to WE16ga terminated with both Switchcraft and Canare F10 plugs I much preferred the Canare F10 plugs - In my system noticeably more expressive room filling mid range.

jetrexpro - As I looked through some previous posts, I saw that you ordered some 1/4" braided shielding.  Forgive me if I missed it, but I could not locate your findings on shielded vs. unshielded WE 16 GA ICs.  Or whether the Canare F-10s sounded better to you on the shielded or unshielded version.  

Any information on this would be appreciated.

Just finished a power cord using double runs of WE 10awg twisted pair wire for an aggregate wire size of 7awg to each the positive and negative legs.
I retwisted the four 10awg wires in a star-quad configuration so the two positive wires are across from each other when looking at the four twisted wires.
The single ground wire is twisted in the opposite direction outside of the four current-carrying wires.
I used a Furutech FI-11 (Cu) plug and iec.
Since this is for a single large stereo power amplifier (300 wpc) I did not shield the cable since my experience is that, unless you have noisy conditions, power cords for power amplifiers sound better unshielded, although I do like to shield them for front-end and digital components.
The cord is on the cable cooker and will be tried out later tonight where it will replace a very nice-sounding Furutech FP-Alpha 3 cord with Oyaide P79 connectors.
