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...

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.

It could also be the quality of the the shrink used... you could give it another blast and see but likely it wont do too much.

Looks good though Jbloudg20 ... its a very addicting hobby
