Some Cables Thoughts


Working on those cable suggestions you all have offered up to me in the past. I was wondering if any of you might know of a decent grade 110V power cord that has a 90-degree male connector on it? Something like this:

If not, a super flexible cable something similar the stock one that came with my Coda amp, that can turn downward asap and not to long of a connector itself, some are supe long. I need to get tight to the back wall.

As fair as speaker cables, I was thinking of a pair of these, 6 feet long with spade ends.

Do I have your blessings?

PS: No one speaks much here about XLO cables. There are these on USAM - 6ft for $600 DIY terminations, I’d just use bare wire (if I could figure it out (lol)

There is another set there as well with bananas for $800, but I prefer spade.

Thank you!

+1 on the AZ Satori recommendation. Excellent value. Great cables.

I tried Puritan Ultimate PC in my system and it wasn’t for me. Gave it over 300hrs of break in, then sold it. Are you handy? You can get a good Furutech power cable and terminate it with whatever plugs you want. 

If you’re going to get the furutech just confirm with Chris at VH Audio that the angle IEC connector can handle fps55 cable. It’s pretty thick. 

Everything is subjective! Lol

@navyachts I have EERO mesh network and connect with Purist from the access point straight into the streamer  

just get one purist from switch to streamer. And between router and switch use linkup cable which is excellent. You’re gonna be all set.

@navyachts Furutech FP-s55n for a power cable

Look at the furutech angle plugs as well:

Look at FI-12L connector for the IEC side. And for the AC end I’d go with FI-50 (non ncf is fine).

 

Cool. You’re going to like the purist. For power cords…why audio envy? I am not familiar with their cables but just curious what’s prompted you to choose that brand for the Aurender streamer?

For power cords…if I’m not mistaking Nordost Heimdall 2 comes with a 90 degree AC connector. I would try that on the amp if I were you. 

I’m using Audience Forte F3 on my Pass monoblocks. They’re good 10 gauge power cords. Check partsconnexion for these. They may be running a special and you can save a few bucks.
