Do you accept order from Kiwi?
I'm keen although I am not sure how much I'll need. It will between 3-6 meter. Not sure how many amp I'll end up with.

Hi, Sam,
It's the same distance for me to walk to the post office to send a parcel to anywhere
. I think in Kiwi, getting stuff from Oz is still better than from US.
Here is some home work I did which may help you to decide how to go with this.
One distributor in Sydney referred by Belden Australia quoted the Belden shielded mains cable 19364 for AU$4.92/m on reels. Belden 19364 is available at some US retailers for about US$1.75/ft, that's about AU$10/m.
The double copper screened cable here is AU$10/m on reels. So you can guess how much it would be if it's available at US retailers.
(I don't like the aluminum foil shield in Belden 19364. I think the plain copper will work better in HiFi systems. )
You can estimate the postage at
www.auspost.com.au from Sydney to you and advice me which service you like to use.
I can send you whatever length you need, just not too long that I may not be able to spare. I am not in hurry to get rid of the cable. In fact, I need a lot of them. After my stereo system, I am going to upgrade my HT system as well, to an audiophile grade and prepare for multichannel music. It makes sense for me to shield all mains cable if to shield any one. One bare mains cable in the system chain may spoil all the effort of shielding others - all components in the system are somehow connected through signal/power grounding/earthing. (In my case, I find the mains quality is to be addressed at this stage. This becomes bottleneck in a system after getting other things right. I think AKSA is a good amp that can show the effects of such tweaks.) I also don't mind to keep some spare cable of such that later I can use it to bug some friend to swap a rare 2-die-4 capacitor or so . The reason I offer to share some of the cable here is that I guess some of you may be in the same situation as I was when I looked for some hard-to-find parts and wished someone could have some spare to share. It's been proved to be true now.
Leave me a private message then I will email you. I am very reluctant to put my email address on Internet (not because people like you and me). I receive over 100 emails per day in my home email inbox and the worse part is that great majority of them are spams. Cleanning the inbox in hurry could get some important emails lost in error. That's all because I did not refrain myself to publish my email address on Internet years ago. Now it's very difficult to block the spams. (Some of people behind our shoulders selling email addresses of yours and mine to spammer to make a fortune. Don't give those guys a chance.) While I wrote this, my email beeped three times and all of them are junk!
