... WHAT POWER CORD(S) ARE PLAYING IN YOU SYSTEM TODAY?

HELLO TO ALL...
Not really a discussion - more like a survey: prompted by a recent article about Power Cords that showed up in my browser. PLEASE NO DETAILS: NO IN-DEPTH REVIEWS OF ATTRIBUTES, WISH I HADs AGAIN, or WANT TO TRYs -
just component (CD, PRE, DAC, INT, POWER, SPEAKER) and Mfg Brand, and model (if known) and length

mine: CD: GOLDMUND /JOB SWEET CORD; 2-1/2 METER
           INT: JOB INT: PS AUDIO XSTREAM SC STATEMENT, 1 METER

Power cords and interconnects have the biggest impact, a real effect on the punch, compression, imaging. They have different degrees in term of enveloppment feel. Nordost, for digital, are fabulous. Valhalla v1 is very airy, detailed but very natural connected to a streamer or a DAC. For high current, bigger power cords like Dr. Accoustics Redfire Ultra are more balanced, bottom to the top end. AQ high current (eg. Tornado) and Furutech Lineflux are better for conditioners (not a natural timber directly connected IMO).

DIY DH Labs cables on all my gear. 

Red Wave on the Parasound JC-5 and PS Audio Power Plant. Power Plus on everything else.

But based on the SQ I'm getting from the amp, I will probably replace the Power Plus cables with Red Wave over the next few months since they are all short cables. Red Wave bulk is currently on sale for $32/ft.
