Diving into Power... Cable recs for my system and ears....?

I am thinking of two dedicated lines. One with a Furutech GTX-D NCF Rhodium, and the other a Furutech GTX-D Gold... that way I can experiment a little. 

Here’s an older review you might still find useful — it’s the only head-to-head comparison of outlets I can recall and found it very interesting.  I came away thinking the cruzeFIRST Maestro outlet seemed like a good value ($99 now — see link below) and thoughtfully designed with a straight down the fairway kinda sound,  The Furutech GTX-D rhodium (maybe a prior version?) was also reviewed very favorably so should be of interest, and here’s a link to the review…

I’m sure Shunyata makes great outlets as well and would consider @audphile1 impressions very seriously, but unfortunately they weren’t part of this review.  Hope this is somewhat helpful. 

Good thread on romex suggestions below;  Correct me if I am wrong @jea48 

Some 10 gauge romex is flat, I believe the 10/2, which is actually 3 wires which is all you need, but that is not good for noise as the wires run perfectly parallel. The advantage of the 10/3, which is 4 wires, one more than you need, is they are twisted inside the outer sheathing, which rejects noise much better. But the suggestion given in this thread is the cable within the outside aluminum cladding which is best for noise rejection?

I am familiar with the Furutech NCF receptacles, however I've only seen them in Rhodium plating.....if they were gold plated I might give them a try. Rhodium in almost any application (for me personally) is too bright/sibilant, maybe my ears are sensitive to it. However I have no issues with silver plated

@mclinnguy, If you want to install NM sheathed cable, (Romex Trade Name), you should use 2 conductor with ground, not 3 conductor with ground.

Better. than 2 wire with ground Romex cable.

Two conductor plus 1 ground MC (Metal Clad) is a good choice for Non-Isolated Ground A/V systems. MC cable contains a safety
grounding conductor (wire). The three conductors in the MC cable (Line, Neutral and Ground) are uniformly twisted, reducing both
induced voltages on the ground wire and radiated AC magnetic fields. The NEC article 250.118 (10)a prohibits the use of this cable for
isolated ground circuits because the metal jacket is not considered a grounding conductor, and it is not rated for fault current

.

Better than 3 conductor with ground Romex, but not as good as Two conductor plus 1 ground MC (Metal Clad)

Two Conductor plus 2 ground MC (Metal Clad) may be used in an Isolated Ground installation, because the cable contains two
grounding conductors (one for safety ground and one for isolated ground).

The conductors are twisted, but the average proximity of the
hot conductor and the neutral conductor with respect to the isolated grounding conductor is not equal. Under load, this will induce a voltage along the length of the isolated ground wire, partially defeating the intent of isolation (see Ground Voltage Induction section of this paper).

From page 12

Same problem exists with 3 conductor with ground Romex cable.Three is company. Four is a crowd. What do you do with the bare unused wire? Just tape it off? It will act as an antenna. 

Something else to consider using 3 wire with ground Romex, a lot of it sold now days is flat,  not round spiral twisted. Unused conductor is a problem. 

10/3 Romex

 The black insulated conductor is the oddball. What will you do with it?

So interesting... will process this info thank you all so much. 

I will soon get wired up so that I can run my amp plugged directly into the wall, but in the meantime, I will run just an extension cord from my current dedicated socket to my amp's 2 meter Anticable v3. 

QUESTION... currently my components run on a 12' Furman Power Conditioner ($30 nothing fancy). They will require 12' from their (upcoming) dedicated socket. Is this Furman "good enough" or do you all recommend something specific which much better results? Or given that it will be a dedicated socket, is this Forman okay?

Thanks,
