Howdy, sorry for the slow response. I lost track of this thread; my bad.
I took at look at the Grover Huffman site. Very nice stuff but it seems like it is out of my current price range, unless I missed something. Admittedly I didn't comb thru it, but he has some very neat sounding cables. But the stuff listed under interconnects is too much for now. Maybe in a year or ao I'll look into getting a pair. I've got it bookmarked!
Also, I have considered but not yet done anything about power cables. A year ago I bought a Citation 7.0 that came with a real badass PS Audio power cable. I couldn't believe the guy sent it along. It probably cost almost as much as the Citation! Anyway, that is the only upgraded power cord I've got. Despite having it almost a year, I am just now putting my system back together after a whole house renovation, so I actually haven't A/Bed it against the cables my amps came with (they looks to be slightly upgraded basic power cords).
So the whole power cable thing is very new to me. I am considering it but I figured that I'd start with interconnects first for one simple reason: when I went to set up the system a couple weeks ago I realized that I would need more interconnects than I had on hand or resort to using those included RCA wonders that everyone has. That might work in a pinch, but I don't want to run my thousands of dollars worth of equipment on $.25 wires. Even if one does t believe wires make a difference it seems like a small investment to at least try some different stuff. So here I am. And yes, I do think wires make a difference, albeit a modest one compared to some other components.
Since we are on the subject of power cables: I've found some on eBay (yea, that site again). They are around $50, my magic number, but I am pretty sure they are Chinese products, but I'm not sure that's a big deal here is it? I know there is some concern with things like Chinese tube amps failing.
