Power cable


Hello everyone, curious on thoughts for a power cable for my Pass Labs X250.8 ?  At the moment I’m leaning at the Furutech DPS 4.1 cable with the 48M NCF Rhodium AC connectors. The outlet will be the Furutech GTX-D NCF Rhodium as well. I have read a bit on this. Curious on everyone’s thoughts. I have chatted with a few members here already and owner of Vhaudio. Do you guys think the cost is worth it overall ? Thank you

Thank You for sharing your list. That is quite a shoot-out!

 

Happy Listening!

My Suggestion is not to rush in on a purchase of a Cable from a Branded Supplier.

You can learn a lot by trying out variants of the surface areas of the Wire, or strands and strand thickness used to produce the wire.

A wire produced to the Spec' H07RN-F, can be bought from many locations at very small monies, the most expensive cost to be incurred at the off set only need be good quality connectors (preferably copper with Gold Plating)

The link suggests the Cable can be found for as little as £00.60p per metre (39").

Once it is determined which gauge works best with a device, then only does it seem to make sense that similar gauge wire is sought out from the Brands with the additional methods used for the construction.

Also avoid being fooled into thinking, a screened cables is the most important of the considerations, many of the Power Cables that have I know about, through being in communication with others carrying out trials on Power Cables and have discovered the ones that have been thoroughly impressive are unscreened.

Screening/Exotic Screening all add cost, the more recognised the Brand, the larger the premium added to have their Screened Cable.   

Check out LA PRO AUDIO and their Gotham PC. You will thank me.

Enjoy the music!

I have had great results with the AQ Hurricanes.  Didn't want to go full Dragon ($5K per cord and I need 7)  LOL but the Hurricanes were affordable for me. In talking to tech support at AQ, they felt the Hurricane was that sweet spot.  

This thread has been idle for a while, and I'm generally more of a researcher rather than a contributor. Assess that as you will.

I've always been an advocate for good interconnects and speaker cabling, though I don't spend 1000s. I like DH Labs for interconnects and have used a few different speaker cable brands over the years.

I'd never felt the need to invest in power cabling, but can honestly say after doing so recently, it makes a significant difference for me. Nothing fancy here, just Pangea AC14SEs and a couple of AC9s bought second hand.

I have a few different system setups I play with here; NAD M3, Schiit Aegir as monoblocks with a Freya+ pre, Audiolab 6000a, Denafrips Pontus, Focal Aria 906s, VMPS RM30Ms, Zu Omens, Von Schweikert VR4s. With all of this equipment, the power cables made a difference. Move me to the believer column, thanks.
