Power cords can make a tremendous difference in Digital


I have been into this Hobby - Quest for over 35 years ,and have spent more then a nice home on Audio .
the older I get the less I want to shell out the big bucks.audio wiring in general is Waay over priced 
I owned a Audiostore and know the markup 4-6 x in some cases even more .it depends on what they can get always with . For the record ,Occ Or -0 Crystal Copper ,Silveris by far the purest
and will give you the clearest signal path ,  that being said there are only 4 companies in the World
licensed to make this to the Original patented design from Japan .
i Built my own using Furutech Occ-6-9s pure Copper awg 14 for my Belcanto dac
also using the same Furutech Occ Copper male and female connectors ,plus on the dac Furutech Copper IEC input . I had a $500 Kimber power cord on it , this new power cord gave me at least 
another $5% more musicality across the board, and very cross sonicly to my brothers $1300 Shunyata
power cord , since they also use similar quality wire  it tells me why pay the extra when in an hour 
I can make my own .VH audio sells the cable and connectors,and when you pay a 15% discount on the wire. Why pay 3X what it cost me to make for similar results ,this too applies for Furutech awg 12 Wire.  https://www.vhaudio.com/furutech-fp-tcs21.html

To miller carbon,what I am referring to is Furutech did 100% of the R&D and engineering , I just buy the ultimate in quality. In that respect ,in my vast experiences  I find I get= or better then the vast majority of powercords 
and cables at 1/4 of the price . Jond, you are correct you can get fantastic quality and value and save a Lot of $$  by avoiding the name brand markup.
I have a Brickwall  brand line conditioner ,surge protector and I customized it 
better capacitorsand Furutech lead ,and outlets all Copper not cheap brass 
like on Hubble ,or hospital grade outlets ,mine uses in part a big inductor.
class B rated in stereophile against a $1500 balanced precision power 
andwas on par, for under $300 a steal .
On paper just under 5-9s but much more extensive forging and annealing then 6-9s Copper, .i have Neotech,as well as Oyaide POCC 6-9s Ohno Copper Wire in other power cords I made
the Furutech formula is more refined and detailed sounding ,that being said they have a $450 .much more expensive wire still 3x as much perfoot I have not tried. https://www.vhaudio.com/furutech-fp-tcs21.html
