TVAD - I also use the Accrolink, but have 046 plugs. I found through the ages of playing with power cords, that the wire itself brings much less to the party than do the plugs themselves.

Ardri, Pardon my ignorance...but isn't the tunami already triple shielded? What was the purpose of the black cloth sheath over the top of the cable?Aesthetic purposes? I'm sure you had a good reason,and if so where did you get that material? I am looking at making the same product for my system as well. Thanx in advance for your reply,and Happy Holidays! |
I am using two GPXs and am very satisfied with the results. The first runs from an R-1 outlet to an Acoustic Revive distribution block and the second continues to my integrated. What little line noise I had is gone and both ends of the spectrum really opened up. Taste tests showed that installing the first GPX, before the distribution block, made the most dramatic difference in the system. The GPX's drawback, as Ckorody mentioned, is that you need a lot of real estate to maneuver the cord behind equipment, so I'm considering trying Oyaide's PA-23ZX for my CDP. As much as I like those bright red plugs, maybe this cable is more in line with the real world power requirements of a CDP (or ten CDPs!). Has anyone tried one? |
Yes.. purely aesthetics.. I got it at Take Five Audio in Canada.. While Christ VH sent some techflkex free with the plugs and cable i bought from VH Audio I wanted the softer Nylon Material I found at take Five. It was difficult to work onto the cable till i tried some powder on the cable and got it to slide without streching.. I haven't used heat scrink on the ends..not sure weather I'll eventually do it but I don't move this cord often so I will probably leave it as is. |
