Win a power cord.
Well, the name is going to be "The Asylum Cable". The winner was actually posted from the Audio Asylum forum but after thinking about it, I didn't think it would be fair to not pick a winner from Audiogon also. The winner for this forum is David99...

Actually we are replacing the "UnderDog" name. Bob Crump who designed the cable didn't like it. Plus we were afraid Time Warner would consider it copyright infringement!

Cornfedboy: Thank you very much. I really am not some sort of hero. I rather enjoy making power cords and the Adoption Fund just helps me justify my hours of tweaking audio stuff. :) Anyway, I wise man once said, "Those who only seak self-fulfillm... 
Pass & Seymour Electrical Outlets
I use the Pass & Seymour 5242 and also the 5342 spec grade. I've compared 15 different types of outlets. Hubbel, & Leviton included and through listening test have settled on the Pass & Seymour. My decision was heavily swayed by Bob Cr... 
Looking to build power cords.
I build cables based upon the Bob Crump Design using the Belden 19364. I have found that the biggest improvement comes from the connectors and correct assembly. Many people have had bad experience with DIY cables (and many good also) and I think i... 
help with power cord
I've been building the Belden 14 Gauge shielded cables for about $50.00 They use the Pass & Seymour plugs and Schurter IEC's. Solder all connections. Very happy with results. 
Hospital Grade Wall Outlets
The Pass & Seymours are recommended by Bob Crump of T.G. Audio. He has done extensive listening test with almost every available outlet and recommends the Pass & Seymour 5242. Cost, about $5.00 !!! What makes one outlet sound better than o... 
Ferrite Clamps for AC power cords?
They really screw-up the upper mids and highs. In my opinion what makes a good cable is: 1. Good connectors on both the AC plug side and IEC 2. Proper assembly 3. Adequet cable gauge with good shielding Also upgrade your outlets with a good Pass &... 
Dedicated Power line
Outlets: Use the Pass & Seymour 5242 Less than $10.00 and really rocks. I would second the motion to use grounding rod (or multiple rods) at your breaker box. Improving your ground can really help whatever shielding is integrated in your power... 
Power cord or conditioner for ARC VT100?
Ohh... please spend some money on grounding your system and changing your outlets. You don't need to spend a lot of money. Get the Pass & Seymour 5242 outlets and hire a electrician to run a ground to the fuse box. I would also recommend upgra... 
Power cord or conditioner for ARC VT100?
Try a resonable power cord before upgrading. I've built a couple dozen of the Bob Crump design DIY power cable and it really rocks for the $$$$. You can buy a built one for less than $50.00 and if you later want to try more expensive cables at lea... 
B&W N804 System Upgrade - Cary CD?
I really have to agree with doug. The B&K processor is bringing you down. I used to have a B&K PT-3 that is based upon the same pre-amp as your processor. Had Pertetual Technologies DAC & Anti-jitter box running into the B&K and th... 
B&W cdm7nt experiences
Let them break in before you get start making changes. Once they are broken in then you can try replacing one thing at a time. 
"Burn in" Are you serious?
Do I change or does the system? Maybe its a little of both.
