Parasound JC-1 power cord recommendations
While I like the TG Audio SLVRs quite a bit with these amps, I think the Tel Wire HC cords do a better job. More authoritative, larger soundstage with more "air" between instruments etc. To me, the Tel Wires are a great combo with the JC-1s (IME b... 
McCormack synergy
I owned a DNA 0.5 for some time that had been modified by Steve to Rev A+ status. Had a TLC for awhile as well. With both pieces of gear I found a great synergy with cables from TG Audio. This was back when Bob Crump was at the helm of TG - but I'...
