I'm a fan of SignalCable also, but prefer WW's power cables and interconnects.

I really like Shunyata PCs and agree the Venom 3 is an amazing cable for the money. I also have the Wireworld Stratus 5 and think they are a good cable for the money. And they are quite flexible which is a nice thing when regard to dressing them.

Just add a second thought: personally feel that the gains from power cords are significant and make more of a difference than interconnects or speaker cables.

Personally if I were looking at Signal cable I would consider just chopping the ends off your stock cable and terminate some better ends on it as it would be better sounding!!!!.....the Signal cable is just plain jane beldon 2 bucks a foot stuff with cheap ends on it......nothing special. You can build those $60 power cords for about $15 each. To be up front with you don't waste your time with stuff like the Signal cable, its no better than your stock power cords.....

Tonality/bass differences aside, WW Aurora PC's increased the height of my soundstage.

Well, after so many recommendations and great reviews, I decided to go with the Wireworld Silver Electra's. I can't wait to try them out, when I get my amp fixed.
Thanks to everyone who helped me with this important decision.
Special thanks to Ivan and Jeff for hooking me up. (No pun intended)
