I really like the basic Kimber PK10 for amps and PK14 for sources etc. Similar cord and Wattgate connectors as their more expensive cords but without the silver or gold plating - and cryo I believe. The regular ones are a great value IMO.

With regards to power cables I will say this. I was running the Kimber power cords and they were certainly better than "stock" cords. I will however add that the Shunyata Black Mamba cords I now have outperform the Kimber's by a substantial margin. Would this be duplicated on a sub plate amplifier? I have no practical experience as I'm not running a sub woofer.
