Power cord for digital stuffs?


I have heard big power cables are no suited for digital cd or dac. Is that true? What cords are you guys using for your cd and dac?

I agree the Furutech’s FP-S022N 14gauge Power Cables are very good and would also work well on digital. In my system, the Furutech FP-S022N 14gauge Power Cables sounded better than the Cerious Graphene Red which is also a very good power cord.
@jond The best price I found regarding the Furutech FP-S022N 14gauge Power Cord with male and female Copper Rhodium Plated  Carbon Fiber Connectors that can be made to order is from Mike Kay owner of Audio Archon. https://www.audioarchon.com 

I think I paid $250 plus shipping for a 1.5/M Blue power cord (Furutech FP-S022N 14gauge).

Although I have made a few power cords I purchased most of my Furutech power cords from Mike and he knows how to make them the correct way without cutting any corners. Mike will also use the NANO Liquid Contact Enhancer on the connections. In my opinion its worth paying a bit more knowing the power cord is made correctly. The cost of the NANO Liquid alone is very expensive, so I'd rather purchase an already made power cord.

BTW: based upon test Mike and others have done, myself included in my own system, the 14 gauge is more musical vs the 12 or 10 gauge.

The inexpensive male and female Copper Rhodium Plated Carbon Fiber Connectors Mike uses are made in China (I believe, but I could be wrong) however they sound very good. Mike could use whatever connectors you select but that will be reflected in the price.
I had a couple of power cords made with the expensive Furutech NFC connectors and could not detect a difference in the sound vs the far less expensive connectors available.

Sorry for being so wordy, but I hope this helps. Check out prices from others and see who can offer the best price.




@audioengr the Plasmatron could be a good product but sure seems to be out of the reach of the average music lover.
