Frankly I can hardly believe the improvement, there is more information across all the frequencies with a quieter background.
well worth the $99
Any recommendations for aftermarket C-7 power cord for Bluesound Node 2i
Built my own and very happy with it. Purchased all parts from VH Audio. https://www.vhaudio.com/wire.html https://www.vhaudio.com/images/shieldedtwistedpairbulk.jpg Shielded Twisted Pair (12 AWG X 2) $10.99 per foot. https://www.vhaudio.com/connectors-ac.html Furutech F11-M (CU) $48.99 https://www.vhaudio.com/images/fi-11mcu.jpg Furutech FI-8N C7 $56.99 https://www.vhaudio.com/images/furutech-fi-8n.jpg If you build your own I’d recommend a shielded cable and only connect the shield at the wall receptacle end to the ground and on the equipment end it floats as it’s only two conductor with the C7 plug but even with a three prong plug the shield still floats. I use this cable with my Vault 2 and it made a nice improvement over the stock PC. Haven’t tried any others but I’m sure it’ll keep up with anything else in its price point.I’ll take a picture and add it to my system if you want to see how it looks. One could add some tech-flex to dress it up but I like the way the raw cable looks so left alone. Just noticed I used the gold plated plug. Furutech F11-M N1 $69.99 https://www.vhaudio.com/images/fi-11mg.jpg |
Considering Wireworld Mini-Electra, Cullen C-7, and Voodoo Vision Digital Cable for Vault 2. Already use Wireworld Starlight 7 ethernet cable from wall port to Vault. Vault plugs into Furman PFI20 power conditioner. Rest of system is described in my profile. One concern is that Voodoo cable might be so heavy/stiff that it pulls Vault off shelf or raises one end. Curious to get thoughts of group. |
“When one upgrades the wire and it improves the sound at least as much as when one upgrades the components the wire is connected to, and for about the same cost, what more justification does one need?” You’re so full of it...mc. Do you ever go back and read your posts? Since you don’t own Node 2i, your explanation (justification) is utterly out of context. I own Vault2 and a $500 power cord on this type of component is total waste of money. |
How can one justify a power cord that cost just as much as the component? When one upgrades the wire and it improves the sound at least as much as when one upgrades the components the wire is connected to, and for about the same cost, what more justification does one need? I sense ulterior motives. Or, dare I say it, justifications? |
This is an incredible power cord for digital or power carbon fiber shell Copper connectors , deep Cryoed Bests cables at 2x+ the price . Triode Wire Labs it really brings out the low level details and great controlled detail. and working on getting another ,and I have had many $$ cables . https://www.triodewirelabs.com/product/digital-american-series/ |

Scroll down. It's called "Figure 8" power cord |
I have tried Shunyata Venom and Nordost Purple Flare but my favorite is Cullen. Cullen lean towards organic and slightly warm sound which in my opinion is a good choice for any digital component. http://www.cullencable.com/c7-power-cable/ |
