Any Audio Grade Extension Cords???

I thought everything was all planned out with my new audio cabinet (custom built wood) but alas, I find my tuner needs to be located well away from my pre-amp -- about 6 feet. I've got some good rca cable to connect the two but my built-in power cord for my tuner needs to be about 4-5 feet longer to reach my power supply. Does anyone have experience with audiophile extension cords? Is there such a thing? Does it even matter when the rest of the cord going to the tuner is stock Marantz (no IEC)? Thanks in advance.

I'm the mule who's assembling DIY PC Kits of Belden 83802 for folks for $32, or $69 assembled. I'll be glad to build you an extension cord using a fine Leviton Pro connectors (AC male and female...instead of IEC, eight?), for $3 more to cover the connector cost. Write me for details, and have a fine Thanksgiving. Ernie

Nobody`s mentioned signalcable.com who has a 6' extension cord that`s a version their Magic PC for $59. I`m ordering one up for my Velodyne. Robin

Save some money. DIY. Buy some Carol cable 12/3 SJO (available at Home Depot (gasp!)) and Marinco Hospital grade ends. Cost ya about $30. Do a blind test with some expensive stuff and I bet you can't tell the difference.

I'll assemble an EXTENSION CORD KIT for you consisting of 5' of the GREAT all-Teflon Belden 83802, matching outer jacket, and great AC male and female for $38. Add $3/ft for longer length. You'll make it up in less than 1/2 hour and be amazed at the performance. I'll send you one assembled for $72 if I have to do the work. RSVP
