Has anyone tried the Audience Forte F3 power cord?


I'm  also looking at AudioQuest NRG-2 and Shunyata Venom.

Your thoughts?

So I bought two Fotre, f3's.  I hooked them  into my power conditioner and my Servo amps. I'll let you know my thoughts  in a few weeks. 

taww, have you a report yet?

The 3’s now have about 250-300 hours of use. The difference between the 40 year old stock cords is noticeable mostly in the base. I have Acoustat Model X’s the have a really great midrange, a very good upper end and a somewhat weak bottom end. While nothing will give them the punch of an (your speaker here), the definition and clarity  is definitely better.

More to follow.

Yep, mine are numbers 502 and 504. They were made in 1978 or maybe 1979. I replaced some of the caps and the Opamp chip thirty years ago. They were mostly stock until late last year when I got the bug to update. I replaced the input jacks and added tube risers last year. I had the the fuses replaced with hydraulic circuit breakers, the auto on circuit was removed and replaced with switches, and a few odds and ends replaced. So while I was at it I replace the power cords and even got a set of new tubes for them!

It’s now been almost 7 months, and everything seems to have stabilized and is good as it’s going to get. I’m glad I purchased the F3’s. So all is good until I get the bug again. Might buy another PC for my spinner, an OPPO UDP 93. 

Thoughts?

Thanks bargie & ericteh,

I’m finding the same subtle warmth and detail with the F3’s only on my amps. And the price is great. I even found them for $125.00!

Thanks jafant,

 I enjoy reading all the posts about everything stereo.  Back in the early eighties I replaced the utility RCA interconnects between my preamp and amp with some eighty dollar Monster cables.  It made a HUGE difference and I’ve been hooked ever since on cabling as well as all things stereo.  Now most all of my reading is sound related.  My wife yells at me several nights a week to come to bed.
