F3 is a decent cable. Go up the Audience line to AU24se or newer StudioOne. Great cables and Audience always worked great on all DACs I used to own. StudioOne will be more refined than the F3. It’s an improvement top to bottom plus you will improve soundstage.
Holo May KTE Power Cord
First, I am fully aware of all the arguments that cables don't make a difference and I would prefer not to have this thread polluted by all the trolls asserting that opinion.
I love my Holo May KTE DAC that beat out a number of other excellent DACs in my system. It came with an Audience Forte F3 power cord and that is what I used with it until recently when I decided to try several other more expensive, but not crazy expensive, power cords with it. To my surprise the inexpensive Forte F3 has outperformed the other cords I have tried. I am curious if anybody has carefully compared power cords on the Holo May KTE and have one they have found to be significantly better that isn't wildly expensive (lets say <$1000 used).
I'm interested in your specific experience with the Holo May KTE not a bunch of random power cord recommendations.
Thanks.

@pinwa I would not even attempt to compare Audience powerChord to StudioOne. They are worlds apart and sound completely different. Another power cable if you’re looking for details, separation and speed is Nordost Frey 2. It might be a good match with your R2R DAC. |
