Hi bartc, I just want to let you know that the proper designation for the Flavor power cord's insulation "should" be FEP. While the materials are quite similar (and Dupont's FEP product is branded as Teflon® FEP), Teflon usually refers to PTFE in audiophlia, no matter who manufacturered it. "Teflon" is kinda like the word "Kleenex" as it applies to facial tissues, as any brand facial tissue is often called a kleenex (when was the last time someone asked for a facial tissue? :-). So, Teflon® PTFE is the only "real" Teflon*, but any make of PTFE is perfectly OK to be called Teflon.*They even have motto: "Only DuPont makes Teflon®"
