My new power cord in action...
4-wire braided, teflon-insulated, 12 AWG silver-coated copper with a Wattgate 320 IEC at one end and standard mains plug at the other. My kettle has benefitted enormously with improved bass impact and soundstage. I haven't been able to get rid of the background hiss though...

Configuration: 4 wire litz braid (2 per terminal)
Connectors: Neutrik Pro-Fi
Sleeving: Silver techflex

jbloudg20: What are you using to heat up your heatshrink? The 1/4 to mini adaptor looks like the heatshrink didn't shrink all the way.

uneven shrinking, usually looks like that if the area was not heated long enough.
