Xindak FP-Gold

An ohm meter will work just to see how the cord is wired but it won't tell you anything about polarity. I just want all my wires run the same way. It made a significant difference after correcting my issue. More of a relaxed open sound rather than compressed.

Jeffo19, use an ohm meter and check the male and female ends. All USA cords that I have ever checked are ground on the bottom and nuetral on the left and that is how the Xindak cord is but the female end is opposite. When you plug it into a component the nuetral is now on the right instead of the left. My Xindaks were not made for the U.S. and I had to swap the wires on the male plug to match the female end. These are a very good bargain but the Lessloss at $550 is even a better bargain. The Lessloss cord is the best cable I have used and has made the biggest improvement in my system as far as any wire is concerned. Not just slightly better either.

Really good for the money but you need to know if it was built for the U.S. market or not. If they are built for the Chinese market the polarity of the cord is reversed from U.S. cords. The online distributors should not sell these cords in the U.S.. They work but of course the sound is much better when the polarity is corrected. $150 for this cord with the right polarity is a steal.

Gjuro, you might want to jump over to the other threads regarding members that don't believe a power cord can make an improvement. Not only do they make an improvement but they make one crazy too! I know the Xindak cord can compete with cords in the $500 range. With that being said I have ordered a Lessloss power cord. After reading some reviews on this cord and talking to a couple members it should be an improvement over the Xindak. One member just lined his whole system with the Lessloss cord. He siad it is that impressive.

Mikhael, How do you like the FS Gold? The Power cord looks the same until you really have a hard look. The wire is smelted together and looks smoother meaning no grain. Not all copper that's for sure. Not very many mfg's using the smelting technology to my knowledge.
By the way Lotus sells the U.S. version of the Xindak power cord so it should be wired like all the other U.S. made cords and Ny Sound should not be able to sell the Xindak power cord unless there is a disclaimer regarding U.S. version or other. Do we all agree that the U.S. version should be Neutral left and stay that way unless otherwise noted like Panamax does on some of there PLC's? There ground is on top but the neutral is on the right. If it did not make a difference why would they have the wiring diagram right on top of there unit?
Be careful buying used power cords from other countries as well unless you know exactly what is going on. I think we want all our power cords running parallel to start with and then go to the link above.

Mikhael, if you are taking about the male connector it is made of brass. Internal wiring is much much different.

OOPS! I went back to the power cord and you are talking speaker cable.
