Has anyone heard the Stage III Kraken power cord
Yea,Strange. My Kraken's sounded so disjointed first few days. Tara labs IC's ... let them be,if you move them... It's at least 20 to 30+ hours before they are somewhat happy again.

No kidding on using your vaccum for cable break-in. My LG refrigerator draws 5.1 amps , have used it also for Power cord conditioning.

I have found with the Stage III Kraken power cords they need to be left undisturbed, NOT touched for at least a week or so to sound there Best. Flipping power cords back and fourth or IC's in that matter under any review... is bad practice.

You can speed up the burn-in process on your A/C power cord by plugging it into your vacuum cleaner. Needed would be a cable adapter. Vacuum cleaner A/C plug would feed off of your Tara PC.

$ 8,400.00 for 1.5 meters . $11,200.00 for 2.0 meters. Lets just say, somebody needed longer Kraken power cords. I had cash in hand to buy some used 1.5 & 2.0 meter Kraken's !!! Stage 3 Concept is working on new Monster power cord , bigger tha...

Tried the Tara Labs Gold and Cobalt A/C power cords. Ended up with Stage 3 Kraken PC's.They are a much better fit in my system.

I have to say most mods I did were NOT easy.They required fabricating parts , machining , and drilling. Dealing with A/C voltages that can ruin your day , need to be properly handled .

My tubehead friend likes the Gold. I have SS gear and prefer the Rhodium. All gear is different, try them both. It might surprise you on the outcome.

Furutech F109 IEC inlet plugs... Well for starters stock IEC plugs choke the life out of your gear. Sound is veiled, less dynamic . I liked the Rhodium plugs over the Gold. The FI09 IEC inlet plug is larger... but I worked in all 9 of them in my g...

Furutech FT 785 XLR chassis connectors are the best that I have found. Furetech also make a killer IEC inlet plug, FI09. Base metal used is also copper. Have both of these plugs in ALL my gear. I really like the Oyaide R-1 duplex receptacles. Nice...
