The "Accuphase" cables seems like the very same cables Underwood is selling as their "Valiant Gold" power cord, like you said, they're not bad, better than gimme and Volex...

I've got one of the "Automecha" on the Berkeley Alpha DAC

I have one of the 15 core "Nordost Valhalla" clones on my KWA-100SE

I have one of the so-called "Krell cryo" cables on my Audible Illusions.

Another guy I work for besides my "real" part-time gig, has a couple of the "Odins", a fake Shunyata, and a few of the Kimber 8AG looking ones that are nice and flexible, can be routed out of sight, and sound pretty darn good on his Pathos Classic.

The Chinese cables have an incredible range of designs, and as you said, take quite a while to settle in...I've used the power cable burn-in device from Hagerman, the FryCorder, to help that process...

I've made a lot of DIY designs in the past three decades and brought home several different manufacturer's products to try...for me, the two best I've tried on my Modulus 3A was years ago a TOTL Audio Magic and the Audioquest Hurricane when it first came out...I was reluctant to take that one back but, being on a fixed retirement income, well...sigh...even at dealer cost was more than this old man felt like spending...

Thanks for your reply, KanedaK
