Various power cables, which would you put where?


I have 4 power cables and 3 components (Exposure 2010S2D amp, Lehmann BCL headphone amp, PS Audio NuWave DSD DAC)

They were acquired over time so not much planning around it.
I know, I should experiment myself and hear what sounds best. I am experimenting, but in addition would like to hear feedback from people that used the same cables.

Cables are
1. DIY DH Labs Power Plus + Marinco plugs
2. DIY Furutech FP-314AG + Marinco plugs (open to upgrading to Furutech FI-15)
3. Furutech G320Ag-18
4. WireWorld Aurora

Which have you used where? (The 4th cable will be connected to my Desktop PC that connects to the DAC)

Thanks!

The Furutech etp-60 is nice for a prebuilt distribution block and is probably a good value if you can get it cheap (there’s one on ebay for $199), but it uses the gold-plated FPX outlets and you still have to get a power cord to connect it to the wall. Since you are looking at the DIY Parts Connexion kit, maybe something you can do is go down to Home Depot and get an electrical box parts/cover like the following:

The get your Furutech FPX Rhodium outlets and your choice of power cord / male plug and build it. In the end, you’ll get a better result than the etp-60 for the same amount of money.

I like your last suggestion. It is still not within my budget currently, but I think I will pursue that direction. Seems like the best value for money.

@auxinput why did you suggest to get the FI-15 Plus and not the discontinued FI-15? A pair of IEC+AC plug is currently half price for the original FI-15.

Yup.  Let's look at the older FI-15:

The functional difference is the wire clamping pieces.  You can use it, but it's more difficult to get the wires clamped in and the mechanism may be difficult to support higher gauges, like 12 awg.

Looking at the new FI-15 Plus:

You can see that the wire clamping mechanism is the same as the rest of the more expensive Furutech connectors.  Also, Furutech has stated that the rhodium plating process on this new "Plus" connector is better as well.
