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.

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

I now make 4 outlet 4.5" sq. solid cast aluminum 2 20amp duplex (P&S or Hubbell) power "boxes" with hard-wired Belden 83802 PC as a kit for only $55. RSVP for details.
Makes more sense than just a one-outlet extension as I had said last December. So by popular demand the PoBoxes are born. I can assemble them with a 9AWG PC too, for +$10.
Cheers.
