Harel,
regarding the Telwire, both HC and non-HC. i still have both my Telwire power cables which i use from time to time on temporary gear in my system. i agree, an excellent value in a power cable. i did directly compare the Telwire to the Absolute Fidelity power cables on my digital, my preamp, and my amplifiers. the AF were clearly better than the Telwire in blacker backgrounds, microdynamics, and a sense of space. more refined. but there were no 'bad' things that the comparison revealed about the Telwire. and when you are comparing an Absolute Fidelity $1800 power cord (1.5m) to a $600-$800 Telwire power cord (6 foot) i'd say the Telwire won the 'value' battle. where the Absolute Fidelity really shined was on my speaker subwoofer amps and all the tape decks and turntables. Gary Koh has truely broke the code on motor power cords.
as far as finding a better power cord than the Absolute Fidelity; i'm happy with what they are doing. if someone sent me some power cords to audition, as long as they were not in a great hurry, i'd be glad to listen in my system. of course, back in the day, i said that, and for a few years i ended up doing cable shootouts all the time. which is why i'm a bit gun-shy now. it's just not much fun.
i did prefer the Telwire to my Jena Labs Fundamental One's on my amps and digital.
i'd certainly wait until you add your isolation transformer and Isoclean panel before you test any power cords....as i think power cords are very context driven. your plan, btw, sounds like it should turn out very nice.
