I found the FI-28(r) to be too bright and too lean. The FI-50 NCF is much better balanced tonally and is more detailed to boot. However, I should add that after using FI-50 NCF connectors on all my cables for several years, I recently replaced them all. My current favorite IEC is ETI Legato Gold which I use with a FI-11M Copper AC plug. This gives me the best tonal balance and more detail than the FI-50 NCF connectors. I have no problem using the Legato Gold IEC with a FI-50M NCF AC plug but the FI-11M Copper has IMO a more neutral tonal balance and almost as much detail.
Furutech FI-50 NCF (R) vs FI-28 (R) Differences?
I would appreciate experiences on the comparison between FI-50 NCF (R) and FI-28 (R). Is there a noticeable or significant difference between the two plugs. I am aware the FI-50 NCF (R) is the top-of-the-line and supposed to be very good. However, they cost much more than the FI-28. Does the additional cost translate to a noticeable or worthwhile difference, or the difference is subtle or marginal at best?
I would appreciate any experiences on this matter. The wire that will be used on the plugs both AC connector and IEC would be FP-TCS31.
Thanks.
