RE: power cord assembly question

Yup, I use this same combo on everything.

The good thing about these (and all Furutech products) is that they are all cryogenically treated and I think Furutech uses the superior full-immersion method which translates to even better sonics.

I have no real experience with shielded cable but I've read where some actually thought shielded versions sounded worse than the exact same model but unshielded. If true, for some reason, I wouldn't be surprised.

One thing I've got enough experience with is power cables in general and cryo-treated cables. And I've compared my $100 DIY cryo'ed cables with Furutech terminators against a $6000 cable for days and my $100 DIY cable actually sounded better, but not by much. I even sold my $2500 stainless steel power cable with Furutech's top-of-the-line carbon fiber terminators and kept the $100 DIY cable because of its superiority.

IMO, cryo-treating and especially fully-immersed cryo'ed cables and terminators are what make by far the greatest sonci difference when it comes to cabling.

Now I haven't tried this yet, but I would probably take my chances with Radio Shack speaker cables that were cryo'ed via full immersion method over a $5000 pair of speaker cables that were not cryo'ed. And if my hunch is right, the Radio Shack cryo'ed cables would probably be far more musical.
