I think I am going to put some money aside so I can get the violet Z1.Maybe even go for the Deluxe model.

Looks interesting.

Would any of those cable not be better than stock ones ?

Would any of those cable not be better than stock ones ?Not usually, I've only come across that once. My Belkin PureAV Hybrid UPS (http://catalog.belkin.com/IWCatProductPage.process?Product_Id=258472) comes with a pretty beefy PC. I tried replacing it with a few aftermarket cables of similar and larger gauge, and with all of them, the noise floor was raised. I tried to purchase another PC from Belkin, but they won't sell it separately.

Interestingly, I would put the VD pc at the bottom and the PS Audio pc at the top in my rig.

I am glad you said that. I am sitting here with 3 PS Audio AC-3s and like them.

I should qualify my comment in that my experiences with both brands were with higher up the ladder models than those in the article.

Great read, thank you! I might have to try out one of the lower priced cables to start with.

That was a good read. I didn't know most of the PC's he listed.

I started to read the "Thesis" but soon realized that I would rather
be listening and making the evaluation myself.

Knowing that my personal preferences would undoubtedly affect the evaluation

[Ern Dog]

The author indicates that some power cables work better in differnt components and that synergy is key. And that if you only have one quality PC- put it on the cd player.

I've got 2 after market power cables and one is on my amp and the other on my preamp. Just for kicks I tried his suggestion and moved the pc from my pre to my cdp and noticed a noticeable improvement. I got a more bass that was more defined.

I read that review some time ago. Right after that I bought a case full of the Volex 17604 and I converted most of my gear to those cords.
