Furutech FP-TCS31 With FI-28 (R) Better than Virtual Dynamics Nite II Cord? Please Help


I need some advice and hope there are folks here who own Virtual Dynamics Nite II power cords and have compared them with Furutech TSC31 with matching plugs.

Currently I have all my best costly cords ($2k+) on all my critical equipment, amp and DAC. I just bought a power conditioner and am currently using the VD Nite II cord between the wall outlet and power conditioner. Perhaps I am imagining things but I suspect the VD Nite II may be limiting the potential of the system. I suspect a better cord such as the Furutech TCS31 will sound better than the VD Nite II.

I compared my Acrolink 8N-PC8100 and 7N-PC9700 to the Virtual Dynamics Nite II and the Acrolink cords made the VD cord sound unrefined with a less smoother and composed sound. The Acrolink top of the line cords are very good but they are costly. I don’t intend to spend so much for a power cord that will connect the wall outlet to the power conditioner so the Furutech is considered for the replacement of the VD. However, I hope the Furutech will sound better than the Virtual Dynamics cord that I am currently using.

The VD Nite II costs $700 MSRP back in the day if I’m not mistaken. The Furutech TSC31 with the matching plugs will cost twice of that.

Any advice would be appreciated.

I have not listened to the Nite but i am using for a long time the tcs31 with your mentioned plugs and i like it a lot. Currently using it on my preamp though i had great results with it when connected on my SACD player.

Please note that in this configuration it is not a warm cable and requires ages to burn in. Info retrieval is excellent as its extension, dynamics and tight bass. A sound characteristic i believe of triple c conductors is their leaner midbass, so it depends on your system, but still behave better in all other areas compared to occ ones. I think that it would be a good choice for your power conditioner and most likely in other places in your system.

 

I use Furutech FP-S032N with FI-28(R) plugs in my system and it’s very good. Competes with power cables costing much more for the same length.

TCS should be even better. However, if possible, I would use the FI-50 NCF plugs. Also keep in mind the power cord feeding your power conditioner should be at least equal to the best power cord you have on components plugged into the power conditioner.

Can’t offer thoughts on the comparison to VD Nite II.

Still a believer and loving occ wire.Did a cable with newer stuff and didnt do it for me...I am curious about the dps 4.1 stuff though and have heard lot of +++.Just ran in power conditioner cable with 28 R... I am using them on cd player as well.Power cable for amp has 50 ncf and thats a done deal...The audioharma is proving to be a very usefull tool.Cables potential fully realized the little 28’s sound awesome.

furutech wire with 28-50’s...400-600 + burn easily.

Thanks for the responses. Looks like I will need to spend the money. FI-50 NCF is considerably more money but will attempt to stretch my budget and go for it.

Settled with the Fi-28 (R) to warm up to the Furutech sound. Will try the FI-50 (R) NCF in the future if I feel the itch. I will only have the time to install the cable and listen this weekend. I do hope it will meet my expectations / sounding better than the VD Nite II.
