Furutech FP-314Ag-II vs FP-S022N

Good morning.

Last year I replaced the old cheap cables in the digital player and amplifier:

1) In the digital player I put a Furutech FP-314Ag-II with custom connectors.

2) In the amplifier instead a wireworld Oasis 8.

The goal was to gain some depth in the low end and some detail.

When I mounted the wireworld Oasis 8 I did not notice any particular difference.

Note that a few months earlier an old acquaintance of mine brought me some DIY cables and we mounted them in the amplifier and there I noticed a consistent increase in the low end and also an improvement in general.

Having lost contact with that person I decided to opt for wireworld Oasis 8’s which hardly improved or changed anything.

Instead when I mounted the Furutech FP-314Ag-II in the player I noticed a good increase in the low end and also a slight improvement in detail.

At this point I was thinking of getting some Furutech FP-S022N with some custom terminals and replacing them with the wireworld Oasis 8 which did not improve anything.

I wanted to ask if you think I should replace the Wireworld Oasis 8s with the Furutech FP-S022Ns in the amplifier.

And also I wanted to know if in terms of timbre the FP-S022N cable has a more pronounced bass range than the FP-314Ag-II that I have in the digital player.

Thank you all !

FP-S032n is a nice power cord. I use it on my dac but tried it on the amplifier and it performed just fine.

Just arrived the FP-S032n, after a few short listening sessions I can conclude that the cable has improved the quality.

The difference is not huge, but noticeable.

First was add bit the bass, just a little.

I have listen a song where the high frequency are a little cut off and confusing.

While this cable was not significantly reduced the high frequencies I would say it cleaned them up.

My impression seem that this cable add a sort of "filter" that clear the high frequency without reduce in a particularly perceptible way.

Before trying this cable I was worried about the hypothesis that it might reduce the high frequencies, it didn't, it made the sound more natural as if there were previously some disturbances in the high frequencies which are now reduced and less perceptible.

I raccomand this cable for every systems becouise don't change timbral, it increases the low frequencies only very slightly.

More to discover
