Power Cable for CDP

I've had very good luck with Furutech FP SO 22N wire which is 14 aug. You can make them yourself or have them made for you. I had Mike Kay at Audio Archon in Illinois make mine. Works and sounds very good on CDP, Transports and Dac's. I moved up to larger gauge for amps and/or power conditioners SO32N-12 aug, S55N-10 aug or DPS-4 which is 11aug. The Nano Liquid contact enhancer is important to use with any of the above mentioned power cords.

Lak good liquid enhancer does work on power cord for digital sources.I have the Hi fidelity NPSQ45ST. This enhancer on my experience it doesn't work on pure silver wire. It takes away transparency.

Hello All. Cables (sadly) do make a difference. Snap on ferrite "beads" are available very inexpensively and will prevent high frequency (radio/radar/etc) junk from getting into and out of your gear on the power lines. They can't hurt and may help your system a great deal. Cable deniers might like to try them out.  Put them on your gear's power cables. Happy listening!

All things being equal, you may enjoy the sound (and, money savings) with a smaller AWG power cable on your Compact Disc Player.  But, I wish were as simple as small vs large AWG.  You'll also find that some highly regarded manufacturers only offer their best materials and technology on the "bigger stuff" so, by default, you'll be getting a pretty meaty cable IF you want the best sounding cable from that manufacturer. 

A couple of years ago, i had an interesting conversation with the Black Cat cable designer, Chris Sommovigo (RIP). I asked Chris what he felt about making me a power cord for my very power hungry Jeff Rowland model 8T. I wondered if the cable gauge would be ok that Chris was suggesting for this application? Chris was certain that it would be ( his power cables, for those who may not know, were not huge bulk cables, like Shunyata’s). Sure enough, to this day, the cable that Chris made for me is a game changer, easily surpassing all other large AWG cables and heavy bulk pc’s that i had tried before on this amp.

I think one can conclude from this, that it is not necessarily the AWG of the cable, but more importantly, the design and the aptitude of the designer.
