Let's talk power cords

@lak

Thanks so much for turning me/us onto these Furutech bulk power cables as they make wonderful power cords. I am still using the $39 per set carbon fiber barreled, rhodium plated connectors from China. Superb, reasonably priced power cable! 

@grannyring, yes the Furutech SO22N (14 gauge) wire, when built properly along with the $39 per set carbon fiber barreled, rhodium plated connectors from China, does sound quite good on front-end components. I preferred the sound of the 14 gauge Furutech vs the larger gauges on the front-end. I realize that mileage may vary in different systems.

" From your circuit box to your wall outlet, you have cheap 16-18ga or thinner, depending on your builder , electrician, "

It is my understanding minimum gauge size is 14 for Romex.

"how does connecting a 8 ga of wire from already 200ft or whatever the run is, make it sound more powerful, or put the biggest stretch I have ever heard, the air around instruments?......really :)"

Try it, you will be surprised.

"if you have a nice 220 dedicated, with 10-12ga runs to your outlets, it may make a difference, but I doubt it."

Oh, it does, I did that when I had a dedicated listening room. I used 10ga. Romex, a bear to work with, but one of the best upgrades I ever did.

@arcticdeph, from my circuit box to my dedicated outlets I used 10 gauge wire.
