| Audiophile Grade Wall Receptacle Clamping strength and the metals and plating used are probably the two biggest factors in how an ac receptacle might possibly affect sound. I am a proponent of copper, especially since all the wiring in front of the receptacle and probably the po... | |
| My First DIY Power Cable @twoleftears Viborg seems to make some pretty good stuff that they sell at relatively low prices. Here is an example of their pure copper blade ac plugs. They also make other types of wire connectors and other stuff. Furutech's Alpha is a two... | |
| recommended speaker cables and interconnects Notice you received almost as many different recommendations as the number of responses you received. What does that tell you about alignment and/or agreement between audiophiles on cables? I will share one more recommendation similar to what yo... | |
| Audiophile Grade Wall Receptacle It is interesting how certain things affect the sound we perceive. I struggle with the use of copper alloys having less than half the conductivity of copper as connectors when audiophiles make such a big deal about OCC vs. OFC wire, which has a co... | |
| Audiophile Grade Wall Receptacle The Furutech outlets are nice and Cardas outlets are also supposed to use a copper base For copper on a budget, might also take a look at this one and this one. | |

| My First DIY Power Cable @piaudiol I like the looks of those Iego plugs and I also like how most of their verbiage seems focused on materials, manufacturing processes, and performance instead of the pseudo-technological jargon I see from some other manufacturers of audi... | |
| AN Niobium versus Tantalum resistors? I replaced the VC on my preamp with two AN Silver Tantalum resistors, turning it into a buffer. The AN silver tants are huge in size and while maybe not exactly neutral they sure are musically enjoyable, IMO. I have an outboard passive VC with T... | |
| My First DIY Power Cable I found the Oyaide Tunami v2 power cable to sound good on my power amplifiters. It uses the high polymer polyolefin insulation discussed in the information linked a couple of posts previously for their VONDITA Xe cord. It also uses PCOCC-A wire, c... | |
| My First DIY Power Cable Not sure what would be the appeal of Beryllium Copper as an audio connector/conductor. That copper alloy is usually spec’ed when hardness, strength, and corrosion resistance is needed. I had a set of Beryllium Copper golf clubs (irons) once. How... | |
| My First DIY Power Cable Not a fan of rhodium here either. I am generally ok with gold over copper and also like unplated copper. Interesting thing with Furutech is that the FI-11M(CU) plugs I recommended were shown to be made from Alpha - pure copper conductor on their... | |
| My First DIY Power Cable You didn’t say which component you are planning to power with your cable. IME, high current power amps and even preamps like large wires while digital front end components can get by with less copper but do better with good shielding. Also IME, t... | |

| Has the cost of HiFi gotten a bit too much? @mahgister - When you click on "Add your response" and begin posting your response in a thread, you will see a header just above where you are typing that provides options such as Bold, Italicized, Underlined...etc. Proceed to the right and just ... | |
| Has the cost of HiFi gotten a bit too much? @mahgister Please let me know if I can help you with the link feature they improved when Audiogon updated this site. IMO, linking long articles is a better option than loading up the thread pages with inserted articles. For example, here is a li... |
