| Have you been surprised by power cable changes? s Markgw, here is something to check out related to speed of transients relative to spikes in power draw, how different cable designs might affect this, and how it can be measured.https://shunyata.com/2019/07/11/power-cord-measurements-revolutionary... | |
| Have you been surprised by power cable changes? s @geoffkait Many manufacturers do it. Every Furutech bulk power cable I have seen for instance, Nanotec does it. Supposedly derived from testing wires before wrapping and labeling. I guess its a thing. Hard to listen to pre-terminated PCs back... | |
| Reasonable high end interconnects: without breaking the bank I and others I know have done this blind testing and notice a difference in terms of more a continuous and coherent soundstage with a blanket on a 55” screen. In some rooms there seems to be slightly better top to bottom coherence across frequenc... | |
| Have you been surprised by power cable changes? s +1 millercaron too. | |
| I wonder why...... Good question OP. Especially because when I go to demos by factory reps or to audio shows, they almost never use stock power cables. Would be nice to hear from a manufacturer on this thread.One thought. The performance of power cables (and prett... | |
| Reasonable high end interconnects: without breaking the bank It is possible the $12K cables were just not as good as the $6K cables. It is also possible that the $12K cables exposed deeper issues with the Mac and B&W gear, or the original recording, or that the more expensive cables were just a poor ma... | |
| Rega Neo, MC & MM mkiii wal-wart Upgrade As a very recent owner of both Swagman and MCRU LPS, both are excellent. I would also say their effect on the overall sound of my system beyond the components they are actually plugged directly into is significant. Makes me wonder if there is bo... | |
| Power conditioners and wall warts Based on input here, I bought a Signature Edition Swagman LPS for my Project Tube Box DS phono preamp to replace the stock SPS. I agree with lowrider, the Swagman is excellent.I had tried another Chinese built LPS with the Project that I borrowed... | |
| Furutech FP-3TS762 or FP-TCS31 @petg60Agree 100% with your fuse tip. When I upgraded the power supply for my DAC a few years ago with a linear supply from McRU, I selected the Furutech Rhodium fuse and IEC socket options. I am also using Nanotec interconnects with Furutech Rho... | |
| Furutech FP-3TS762 or FP-TCS31 @mooglie My digital system was the opposite of bass shy, and this cable with the rhodium connectors fixed that, in a good way, so you may be on the right track using the gold connectors for your application.@petgo60 With 500 hours under power (muc... | |
| Fundamental importance of power management @williwonkaThanks for the comments and insights on shielded versus non-shielded wire. Great wire building instructions. Nice system too. | |
| Shielded power cord best used on Digital/Source or on Tube Amps? Thanks lak. I will look into grannyring’s recipe for the Duelund power cord. | |
| Shielded power cord best used on Digital/Source or on Tube Amps? @lak@grannyring Thanks for the updates. After two weeks the shielded Furutech FP-SO022N cable is sounding pretty great on the linear power supply for my DAC. Strengths are midrange tone, dynamics, elaborate and convincing soundstage, and very cl... | |
| Best return for the money, system upgrade suggestions please. @grmGreat choices. Enjoy! | |
| Furutech FP-3TS762 or FP-TCS31 Thanks, I will report again after it has more fully settled in. |
