Speakercable and powercord that thightens bass.

I agree with Don,My BAT500 came alive also.Even my Plinius
SA100,My ODDYSSEY Stratos came alive,the improvement
you hear is huge, thats what I have experience IMS,
and MARKr system.This pc will save you a lot of money,
you will forget upgrading your gear.Thanks

TVAD, size does matter here! On power amplifiers these REF-1's create a pulse I have never quite experienced pryor to there installation on my BAT VK-500. Transformed this into a totally different beast in a very good way. The BAT came ALIVE. It's like going to a live performance every night in my own listening room. Don O. DCCA Audio

PS, there are some other factors to the great sound quality these PC's are producing. I will tell you that there is alot of hard work in the process. I will call this alittle magic. There is alot of magic put into the new EXTREME REFERENCE. The sound is something quite special. Don O. DCCA Audio

OK,TVAD everyone should know what they are getting for the kind of money we are all spending on these products. The new EXTREME REFERENCE (coming out soon) and the REF-1 are using a 6 gauge wire. The new EXTREME PowerWave 2(also coming out soon) is using an 8 gauge wire. The EXTREME PowerWave is using a 10 gauge wire. The shielding I use is an armour cover to elimate virtual all EFI/EMI. I use Furutech connectors, I believe they sound the best. We are a custom cable company and are happy making up something special for our customers needs. Here at DCCA Audio want the customer to be completely satisfied with there product and purchase. Don O. DCCA Audio

Hi TVAD, First thank you for bringing the above to my attention. I don't want to bore people with all the high tech stuff about DCCA Audio's products. I could give you all the details of what is in every cord like that I use multi-stranded high gauge pure copper wire but just let your ears tell you the truth. In the end it comes down to plugging it in and does it sound good ? I build the highest quality products I can using the parts I think sound the best. My goal is to make a product that everyone can afford and wants to keep in their system for a very long time. I use these cords myself and like to be moved by the music everytime I turn on my system. I have put alot of time, energy and hours of listening and research into my cords. Again, let your ears tell you the Truth. Don O.

Steve,I agree we should get together,Dolfan is coming
it would be nice, to get together.Thank you for
bringing the DCCA, I have been enjoying it, my friend.

See ya soon Bon

Grant, you can call me, and we can talk, miss ya too buddy

Greetings Tvad,

Of the ones I mention, I personally have had or do have the Electraglide Mini Khans, the latest Ultra Khans, and the VD Nite II in my personal system. The EGs did not work in my system, as their lack of a ground conductor (as I had to prove to myself with a continuity check), rendered them useless in my system, causing severe buzzing from my speakers. In the one position that the EG worked (my Modwright 999ES' tube power supply) I preferred the REF-1 for its naturalness, fullness and palpability as compared to EG's UK. For the same reasons, and others, I prefer the REF-1 on my McCormack DNA-500 amp over the VD Nite II. On the flipside, I prefer the VD Nite II on my Modwright over the REF-1. It's all about matching.

I know others who have tried, or are trying the DCCA REF-1s against their EGs, Elrods and such, and the REF-1s are holding their own, if not preferred. I don't think anyone can dispute the fact that these fine cable makers are competing against each other in the high-end power cable market. I can strongly, logically and confidently deduce that DCCA's REF-1 can "compete" in this class of outstanding cables based on my observations and other's.

Please note I DIDN'T say "beat" or are "better than" in my statement... That my friend, has to be answered only by you and your system. Synergy is the bottom line for the DCCA and any all the other cables mentioned. There is no "one size fits all" in this hobby. That's why we all "try" different things, hopefully under low risk terms, until we find what works for our systems and our budgets. I have.

Bon, are you using that DCCA PC on your CD player?
Thank you,
Howard

By the way I discover this DCCA pc by accident thru
711 smillin, I did not have the desire to try at all,
Only the next day I was bored and tried it, To my
amazement,I called Steve and buying it from Him,To
me the Ref1 pc, is cheap, for the music, I am getting
on my system,I would say this power extreme pc,made
me feel like, my Bat 500 is getting all the power
it needed,the dynamics macro and macro are there,
Soundstage and extension is huge and wide.Its also
very smooth.One thing I like most of this cable is
the palpability.To me this cables are treasures.I dont
need to spend thousands,to buy pc, to get good music.
This are unknown cable but they are good.

I will vouch for Don (Virgo_ref). He is an upstanding guy who is a real pleasure to deal with. No harm meant with his post. He has an outstanding product that he is proud about, as he should be. His support has been fantastic.

I first heard his power cables at Jayctoys place, and they transformed his system. I tried his Ref-1s on my system (with his trial period, why not?). I ended up buying two of his Ref-1s.

The Ref-1s have added a palpability, a presense, a naturalness, and dimensionality to my system that wasn't quite there before. Bass is tight, not overblown, highs are extended, and the midrange is truly wonderful with the Ref-1s. I would have never thought that power cables can drastically alter the sound of a system, but they really do!

There are times where I have second guessed my purchases (too many, for sure), but this isn't one of them.

Of course, the usual disclaimer pertains: system synergy is key in anyone's system, and while these work great in my system and Jayctoy's and a few others, ymmv. With that in mind, the DCCA Ref-1s are worth a try with the no risk trial period, and they will compete with the Shuns, Elrods, EGs, VDs of the power cable world, at a better price.

Second disclaimer: I'm just a happy customer of DCCA, no other ties.

Sorry, Audiogon members wasn't trying to pull a fast one on anyone or everyone my member name is attached to DCCA Audio very clearly. I am DCCA Audio and to be honest I'm not praticed at all on these forums. Don O.

Jayctoy is correct that DCCA Audio cables are simply amazing. I use the product through out my whole system. Great bass is one of qualities these cables offer. An incredible presence of life-like live music in your listening room is another.

Why use room treatments when a cable lifter is all you need?

steve

Different suggestion to achieve the same effect:

Realtrap Basstraps--you might have "bloated bass" because of an untamed room...

(I am running Nordost SPM's but in contrast to wrtickle, I can't point "nordost" &
"lower price point"
in the same sentence.

Honest1 ,
Vibration devices.

Try this DCCA ref 1 pc,in my system, the bass is so
natural, and tight.It flesh out the bass of my system,
they are also very consistent, I tried them with
3 diferrent system,the result is amazing.They have
30 days trial.My only concern,you would probably
end up buying it.Thats what happen to me.Good Luck

Is the blackwood a cable lifter, a component vibration isolater / coupler, or a cord?

vh audio airsine.

I'd try some silver or at a lower price point maybe one of the nordost cables.

MC88
A blackwood equipment support wood cone, the patented particles infill ensure linear energy transfer. The very special tungsten infill improve the ultra high frequency performance required by today's SACD and DVD-A standard.

And YES, I do sell them as a dealer. This is a fantastic new product from Japan.

Agree w/ Geek. I put an Aural Thrills Silver 10 AWG PC on my Depth Subwoofer, and it mad a big difference over the stock PC. I can't say about speaker cable, but the shorter the better for good bass.

Silver usally tighens bass more than copper but what do you have? What speakers? We need more info before we can recomend something. Also what price range? As I alwas sugest with speaker cables I would find a dealer that will let you demo some.
