DK Design VS.1 Reference mkII - Optimization

Sbayne,
I went to the Zcables website and was reading the Black Lightning info and noticed that they "do not advise the 12AWG for amps producing over 200 watts non didgital" I emailed and received a reply from Mark Hampton stating that high current amps may benefit from a larger AWG. "The more complicated answer it that sometimes amount of current is the most important thing for power amps, and sometimes quality of current is."
Do you or anyone else know what the DK provided ac cable AWG was? Anything unique about it? Also other owners...what power cable are you using with this amp to benefit its performance?

The DK amp is supplied with a regular computer power cord, such as the one that comes with most Dell PCs. I had several discussions with DK regarding this and they are simply selling the amp and circuitry at the lowest possible price with a cheap power cord and tubes which they believe are user upgradeable. Also, the previous owner, Daniel Khesin, was not a big believer in power cords, although he heavily emphasized upgradingthe tubes.

I have tried several power cords with my VS1MK11.
Guerrilla audio, Signal cable,Supra Lorad 2.5 VirtualDynamics power one. For my ears the VD is the clear winner. When it comes to ic's i haven't tried as many, Mas silver,Zsquared copperheads, VD audition, once again the VD was the the best for me.
I was talking with AGON member that had his VS1MK11 modded by Parts Connexion they change over 85 parts. He said it was huge upgrade from the stock amp!! even at the 1k price.
