Pospwb55,Attached below are some articles on cable set up...and noted some are about JPS LAbs AC Wall products...
Hotbird added his suggestion for Oyadie/Acrolink....I have seen his site and added his Mint LP suggestions too...
I am no electrical expert and just use my ears to guide me...In my set up, I run a dedicated box with 2 x 32 amp lines...One with JPS Labs In Wall AC cable and the other with ROmex type cables (6mm dia per cable or 8 guage)...this is to ensure no possiblity of the cable burning due to the high amps...
I use the JPS line to power my Monoblocks direct from wall to amps...this is using a plain Hubbell outlet...I used to use Furutech Gold...
For the other Romex type line, it goes into a Hubbell inlet too...then goes into my Sound Application RLS 240 conditioner (Passive) that feeds my digital set top box, Universal player, TV, and pre amp...
For both these lines....the music flows and there is no noticable loss of dynamics to the music..yes...i have tried plugging everything direct into the wall too (without the SA RLS 240 unit)..
Jim Weil of Sound Application (www.soundapplication.com) was the one who "interviewed" my set up by asking lots of questions (sent him pictures too of the wiring and box) as the US codes and codes in my country are different...
He suggested using the plain old Hubbells due to the fact that the brass connectors have very high conductivity and the fact that they are not coated, means no coloration of sound...he also thinks that cryo'ing dries up the sound...
I will not bore anyone with the detail of this/my set up as the thread is asking for the right type of cable and to be done right from the beginning...so this is some information to share in my journey...
Hotbrid, I guess we are both wrong....in your "advice from mint.lp", he says British cables sound best...yours is japanese and mine is US....LOL....and I am sure the sound you have is golden/silver/rhodium, as is mine...LOL

Posbwp55, may I suggest that you contact Acrolink/oyaide/JPS Labs(i spoke with Joe before making the decision)...this is the interesting part in understanding the philosopy of the design behind the cables.
Search the threads on Audiogon and AudioAsylum...I have even emailed soem of the members on their feedback too and this is a great community of sharing...
Hope this helps....
