I decided to put my power cords into the one tidy thread to try get some funds back from buying a Vita from a fellow memberso here they are. Prices do not include shipping or paypal so factor that in should you choose one

Electra 5.2 1 meter $105 great for high end electronics 'absolute sounds ac cable of the year 2010' $235 msrp

Aurora 5.2's 1 meter $70 msrp $130 2 meter $105 msrp $190

Stratus 5.2's 2 meter $70 msrp $100 3 meter $80 msrp $130 if you want an mildly used 2 meter stratus then $65

some interesting quotes from around the web about the aurora's

"...as soon as I replaced my reference power cord with Aurora, I knew this was no ordinary cable; the lower bass became lower, and at the same time, the resolution improved. Once again, the magic of the audio world is restored."
AUDIO ACCESSORY, Japan

"The resolution and spatial integrity increased, the bass firmed up, and dynamics, both macro and micro improved significantly...the improvement with the Aurora (power cord) is completely consistent and not subtle."
AUDIO IDEAS GUIDE

"With the Aurora power cord in place, bass was full, deep and very tight, edging out the MIT cords in both the full and deep departments. The mids were similarly spectacular, detailed, quick and dynamic."
SOUNDSTAGE.com

The Stratus is great for power amps and tubes but the Aurora is great for solid state amps but the Electra's are killer for precision electronics like DAC's etc...

    Shipping is expensive for me and need to find a way to lower it. I will charge a flat rate of $7 per cable. I put one in a box for another member and ended up paying $18. I need batteries for my camera so I will load up some pics in a couple of hours

    USPS should be better than that.

    It was a flat rate box from usps and insurance on it

    Ok I am adding the Aurora back to the list and will just keep the used Stratus in the system as its just a great cord

    1 3 meter Stratus BNIB $80
    1 1 meter Electra BNIB $105
    1 2 meter Aurora $105

    I have 3 Auroras and 1 has the normal molded connector but the other 2 has the wattgate connectors. If you choose the molded ac termination then I keeping the 2 wattgate models so I do not have to buy another molded Aurora to match the other

    Hmm, which one would be better for a 5-channel amp and which one for a SS preamp?

    Right now I have a Pangea Audio AC9SE signature 1.5 meter that I have been burning in to do a comparison as well as there top of the line usb cable and they are not that great on the electronics

    If its a cost no object then I prefer the Electra's as its hands down the best cable I have had hooked up to my dac. I think the Aurora is another fantastic cable and it would be great for electronics, I find the very expensive Pangea is more on par with the Stratus at this point of the burn in

    If you want my opinion then I would use a cable like the aurora on the preamp and a stratus should max out the performance on the 5 ch amp. The Electra is best used to max out the performance sensitive higher end electronics. I did not mention but I do have 2 of the 1 meter aurora's I reserved for a friend and he does not know if he wants them

    If you want 2 cables shipped in the fancy boxes they come in then I cannot go lower than $13. I have to buy a larger box from the po and add a signature

    If want them before you have the funds available then I can ship before payment
