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)

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.

[size=xx-small]I'll just take a 10 foot custom EMU-0404 cable with the DB9 connector, as well as a 3 foot length of RCA cables

Its a heat gun, Pretty darn powerful. I noticed that too, but im not sure why that happened. Then I stopped caring, lol.

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

Should I attack it again?

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

What brand of RCAs are those and where can they be purchased? They look really nice...the cable too.
