I'm all TWL these days (Plus versions plus Digital American).

I once had a number of JPS PCs which I did, indeed, like a lot.  Just seemed that the TWL were every bit as good for a more reasonable price.  YMMV.

I'm in the budget world of Power cords. My favorite PC that started it all the was the My Audio Cables HC that I put on my CDP and later my PS3. Now I have a hodge podge of cables. Shunyata Venom 3 on my Red Dragon M1000 monobocks. Mapleshade HC power cord on Bottlehead BeePre. 3 power cords I got from Bill at Response Audio for all the rest of my gear. This combo works for me but my preference would be for power cables from all the same manufacturer. That is just me. I want an entire loom of TWL cords for all my gear but can't justify it for my system.

   For me all TWL. A combination of plus and non plus cords with different guages. Meaning crystal and no crystal. All deep cryo treated.
   One size does not fit all.  One needs to experiment. A 7+ does not sound the same for digital as the Digital American. The 7+ works for the power conditioner but not the class"D" amps.
   EXPERIMENT my little Chickadees.

ALL...most, all TWL cords.  Like most everyone else, different gauges (7, 8 and 10) in different places. Most are +, not all.  I have the very latest Pangea on my CD player right now.  Eventually I'll get a TWL for the CD player as well... or put the TWL that's on my DAC on my CDP and buy an up-model TWL for the DAC where I think it will make a better impact.

Pete's TWL cords are some of the best out there regardless of price.  He's also not too bad a guy himself!  :rofl: :rofl: :rofl:  (I had to give him a little "dig"for the fun of it because he never hesitates to give them to me!)  Just don't let him fool you with techno-talk.  The reason his cords sound so good is because he has his beautiful wife and daughters braining wire for him!  8)

My Kubala-Sosna Emotion PC's on the duel Butler 3150 tube hybrid amps are my favorite PC's over anything I've tried, be it years ago. My only regret is not being able to afford going higher up the Kubala food chain to their Elation!.

I picked up a couple of these in 5 foot and I have to tell you, build quality is second to none and over the years I've had a lot of power cords in house.
 Highest recommendation I can give, 5 stars, 10 out of 10.

The Cullen Gold Series, affordable, Patrick is also a great guy to work with.
 I just ordered another 6 cords for an upstairs system, so that should tell you something.

 Fantastic cables! Sound wonderful.
