Is there a minimum length for power cords?
IMO, no sonic difference with unshielded cords (1m - 5m). 
Have You Tried Cabledyne Interconnects?
Here are the facts from Cabledyne founder Ed Bowman: Cabledyne states on their product pages: "Cryo 6-nines purity solid monocrystal square wire: Continuous Directional Solidification process (similar to OCC) offers incredible detail and clarity."...

Cabledyne. Within your budget. 
Recommend a SPDIF cable
Cabledyne offers silver or copper SPDIF cables in BNCs or Xhadow RCAs for a fair price. Quality is superb and a 40 day trial. http://www.cabledyne.com/rca-digital-cable.html 
Will it work?
XLR cables are used with studio equipment (600 Ohms input/output rating). Should be fine.

I use the HUBBLE HBL-5362 that Cabledyne sells. It is cryoed and cooked. Here is a thread on AGon: http://forum.audiogon.com/cgi-bin/fr.pl?ymisc&1370875160&&&/Porter-Ports-or-Cabledyne-Cryo-Hubbell-5

Are HDMI cables hot swapable?
Always power-off gear. Blew an output stage on a idle DAC just pulling an RCA cable. 
Need power cable for older KRELL amp
Dan used Belden shielded 14 AWG cord. I own a KSA-50. 
Do Vandy subs benefit from better cables?
Any sub will benefit, IMO. Lamp cord is not an option. :) 
Anyone own an AudioDharma cable cooker?
I own one but it seems at 24 hours any cable sounds thinner and brighter. When I do a music burn-in at 24 hours, the cables sound better. Does not make much sense, I know.

Keith: Cabledyne sells direct: http://www.cabledyne.com. A few others on this site own their cables. 
Where would you put better power cable?
I vote for the DAC and it should be shielded.
