Simple enough?

We're doing a major geographic in our living room so my "rig" has to make some adjustments. I need a power cord, no longer than two feet (or it can be three if it is super flexible?) to go from power conditioner to dedicated outlet. Rack is (obviously) going right in front of outlet. Killer power cords (in my rig) go from component to power conditioner. Thanks in advance, warren

Good to hear that you're back. Maybe that's why you haven't responded to my email. They may have let you out a little early? Don't forget your meds, now..lol...

I'd like to see some pics too! It's fun to see all these great systems! Also, not to sound stupid (which comes naturally for me sometimes), but why is a 10 guage required for the power conditioner if it just feeds the CDP?

It's not required. Certainly when feeding just a CDP. However, Audio Magic wires their power conditioners with 10 gauge wire, so why not keep some consistency there? Also, my experience, which is simply my own observation, has been that larger gauge cords feeding power conditioners contribute to a more open sound and a larger soundstage. Could be psychoacoustics at play...

Anyway, from a practical standpoint, I see no reason to feed a conditioner wired with 10 gauge wire with a power cord constructed from smaller gauge conductors.
