Sakura Systems OTA Cable Kit

Ivo,
I'm in the process of putting together some 0.65 power cords and am thinking of running the 0.65 from the wall outlet to the breaker box like you mentioned in your post.Have you tried it yet? I'm a little nervous about running such a small gauge wire to the box.I really can't see the difference in using it as a power cord and running the 0.65 from the AC outlet to the box,as long as the AC outlet is left in the chain as a means of disconnecting the equipment.Now lets see, where are those oven mits and that fire extinguisher....
I am also considering the JPS labs in wall AC wire; but would really like to stay with the Storatos.I'd be interested to hear how you're coming with your rig.
Any words from the wise on this?

I should have mentioned that my current gear (no pun intended) is 25 watt Gaincard and Wadia cdp,a fairly low current draw I would think.

Dave, I'm sorry I didn't reply on your post. I was on vacation last week, no internet, no hi fi. No, I didn't try to run 0.65 OTA from the wall outlet to the circuit box. I just made a dedicated line for my hi fi wall outlet with no changing the wires: my electrician just rearranged the circuit box. The improvement was obvious from the first moment. I already mentioned that, when I tried 0.65 OTA as a power cord, I noticed a certain softening in the bass region. Now, with the dedicated AC line, the softening just gone.
I'm still thinking of using the OTA as a power cord between the box and the wall outlet. I have some concerns: the box is very far from the wall outlet - more than 12 meters so I need 24 meters of OTA. Than, I don't know whether to put OTA in a kind of a tube or to leave it free, but in that case I don't know how to fix it on its way to the AC wall outlet. Practical problems. And we all know that OTA is so sensitive on twisting or tightening.
Regards,

Ivo

Ivo, Vacations are nice,but we've got work to do here man.Just kidding ,hope it was great.
I talked to an electrician friend about running the 0.65 as an AC line and his concern was that the circuit breaker wouldn't trip in time if the wire was to overheat and lose it's insulation. A little scary.Here's a diabolical little notion (big grin now).I'm thinking a glass tube would be appropiate.That way I could see it,you know ,keep an eye on it. With the lights down low I could see when the wire starts to glow;then I would shut my rig down just before the insulation drips off.Hey... I think I might just have something here....... :) anyhow, enjoy them tunes

I was wondering whether everyone on this thread still using the OTA cables, or has anyone moved to what they think is a better cable (I imagine that some esoteric cables like Kharma and Siltech G5 are better, but I'm particularly interested in sub-$1,000 cables folks find better). I'm curious to see if the OTA is still king of the hill for folks here. I've been using OTA for about 8 months now, but am feeling the itch to try something else.
