...of 13g. (for frontend stuff) or 11g. (for poweramps). Ends are Furutech--25(R)- or (mostly) 28(R)-series, altho the new looong cords for the J2s--fed by the main c-con, an Audience aR12 (Imp.)--will use the new 48(R)-series ends.
Feeding the Epson projector and the MET150 poweramp--both from the aR12--are 2 fairly long lengths of DH Labs PowerPlus cable with 25- or 15-series Furutech ends. The Crown SuperSubs amp, a CDi2000, is fed by a Pangea-9. The Super-7's bassamp PCs are now cheap no-brand stuff; I'll soon be building a long 10g. extensioncord--from the aR12--to feed those 2 plus the Crown and probably will build, using a stub of DH Labs wire, short PCs to feed the S-7 bassamps.
IC--The two long pieces--white with green stripe--feeding the J2s are Neotec solid-UPOCC-silver cables (NEI-1002). The frontend cables for the front-three channels are Audioquest Niagara with solid-silver conductors. IC for the surrounds and Crown SuperSubs amp are inexpensive AQ stuff.
It's quite a mish-mash, with quality ranging from the best I can buy (IMO, of course...:-)...) to barely-hi-end stuff. The entire system is quite complicated* for a hi-end system, and often I'm amazed that it sounds as good as it does.
Hinted at above is my current project--recabling power to feed ALL 14 pieces of equipment in the system from the main Audience p-con. Currently I have four p-cons--two from Audience (the aR12 and an aR2P-TO feeding the J2s)--plus 2 inexpensive Tripp-Lite isolation-transformer-based units in the system. Within a month or two I plan to buy a high-current--powered by 240VAC--Equi-Tech balanced-power p-con.
* For example, there are 21 ICs plugged into the back of my c-j 6-channel preamp...
...and 13 channels of power-amplification functioning as 10 active channels.
