We now offer these on a custom-made basis for listeners have neither the time nor the resources for home brew. In fact, our custom fabricated power cords will basically cost you the same amount as you would otherwise spend on home-brew. How can we do this? As an OEM, we're able to buy wire and connectors in bulk at wholesale prices. We sell them for the equivalent of MSRP and the spread between the two covers our overhead and manufacturing costs. And, since we only sell direct, you're basically buying them at wholesale, too.   You don't have to be a millionaire to own a high-end power cord. We now offer the Common Sense power cord fabricated from 12 gauge, Teflon® insulated, silver-plated copper, stranded wire. The wire bundle has a 100% coverage of copper braid shielding and is wrapped again with heavy gauge Teflon tape. The whole package is then inserted into a convoluted PVC wrapper for protection and a woven nylon cover is applied for æsthetics. Finally, the ends are terminated with WattGate Audio Grade Power Plugs (illustrated above).   The science behind this is relatively simple. The higher the wire gauge, the lower the overall resistance; the better the insulation and shielding, the cleaner the AC signal. What type of improvement can you expect? A quieter background, increased dynamics, more detail, and superior bass response. We were long-time sceptics when it came to power cords, but numerous direct comparisons with stock cords made believers out of us. You can spend 10 times as much and still not achieve better performance.   Our Common Sense AC Cords made-to-order in any length. To date, we've made them as short as two feet and as long as 20 feet, but there is really no practical limit. European and Asian power plugs by Furutech, as well as 20 Amp WattGate IEC connectors, are available on special order.   If you're on a budget or need a stock replacement, we also offer a good quality, 14 gauge, shielded cord with moulded plugs at each end.     Prices Plus shipping from Saratoga Springs, NY 12866, USA Standard Power Cord 14 Gauge 15A shielded power cord, with molded IEC Female and North American Male connectors, 6 feet (1.8 meter) long, $20.00 Common Sense Power Cord 12 Gauge Double-Teflon insulated and shielded power cord, featuring 15A WattGate Audio Grade IEC and North American terminations. +$250/6 feet or shorter, +$10 each additional foot   European and Asian power plugs by Furutech, as well as 20 Amp WattGate IEC connectors, are available by special order for a slight additional charge.
