DK Design Group VS-1 what powercord/ic are using?

Hello,

This thread isn't being started to start a war over this integrated amp but goes out to owners who are experimenting with different powercords and interconnects. I really am enjoying this amp and haven't yet tried any aftermarket pcs yet but am considering it. I have used Audioquest Cheetah 36v dbs, Acoustic Zen silver ref II, and the DK Design interconnect. I really like the Acoustic Zen cable the best in my system so far. I was really suprised at how good the included DK Design ic is. I just wonder if any others out there who would like to share their thoughts. I would really like to know about powercords too. I have some cca tubes on the way but am having success with nos amperex orange globe gold pin 6922. I look forward to your comments and experiences. I hope this thread stays on topic and doesn't get political or argumentative over the quality of this integrated. I know it works for me in my system but am not claiming it is the best amplifier ever. Thanks everyone.

Hi there Nicksgem,

Powercords?
I am using Audusa Eupen Ferrite impregnated cables.
Excellent value and available made up or DIY from www.audusa.com.
Can't comment on other power cables as I haven't tried them. But the technology of the German Eupen cable is very significant and works.

I have tried TMC White, Yellow, Xindak FA-Gold and FA-1, and a home made silver interconnect and the supplied IC from DK Design is as good as any. Different. Seems slightly smoother and what at first appears less detailed, but really it's not etchy and over the top. The details is there but not so obvious.

I enjoy my amp too as you do. It will be interesting to hear from others regarding IC's, Valves and Power Cables.
