Power Cable for CDP


Hi all. For the last 2 years I’ve been using Oyaide Tunami 2 power cables on amps, CDP and power distributor. Anyone who knows these knows they they are an outstanding 10AWG OCC virgin copper cable. Sound can be best described as detailed, lush and FAT. Conceptually I get the need to feed a hi power amplifier with as much power as you can; usually only achievable with a heavy gauge power cable.

I’m considering using a lighter gauge cable (13AWG) for source and wondering if anyone has any experience in mixing cable gauges depending on equipment connected to the cable? Am I likely to get more speed, air, instrument separation etc?

Thanks

Hello All. Cables (sadly) do make a difference. Snap on ferrite "beads" are available very inexpensively and will prevent high frequency (radio/radar/etc) junk from getting into and out of your gear on the power lines. They can't hurt and may help your system a great deal. Cable deniers might like to try them out.  Put them on your gear's power cables. Happy listening!
