Hello Audiogoners and getting to this thread a little late. Please note that the Cardas Clear Beyond XL that '' missioncooney '' mentioned in his thread is a much better cable than the Cardas Clear Beyond which is a pretty good power cable for the money. I have owned both and have all Cardas Clear Beyond cables and XL power cords in my system. Just thought I would point this out as the OP was looking at the XL which is a different power cord.
