| Best budget, high current, DIY power cord wire? TRL/FIM is not the same as CRL. | |
| Best budget, high current, DIY power cord wire? Clio09, Huh? Have we talked about CRL interconnects? | |
| Best budget, high current, DIY power cord wire? Hello, Grannyring. Looking forward to trying your TRL/FIM interconnects! | |
| Best budget, high current, DIY power cord wire? I figure that just about anything (some will not agree) will outperform the stock cables. I'd like to get the wires and plugs that outperform their brethren of the same price point, say wire @ 12/ft or less, and plugs at $50 each or less. | |
| Best budget, high current, DIY power cord wire? It's rare that opinions are diametric opposites, though clearly people have different aesthetic proclivities, which, hopefully, are able to be expressed. I find that people agree with a reasonably predictable frequency -- about practical matters a... | |
| Best budget, high current, DIY power cord wire? But apart from my situation, I believe it's usually desirable to run a dedicated line... | |
| Best budget, high current, DIY power cord wire? Speaking to my own situation, running a dedicated line is impossible in as much as I rent rather than own. | |
| Best budget, high current, DIY power cord wire? The last post is very interesting. Has anyone auditioned shielded and unshielded power cords on their power amp to see if there's an audible difference? Of course, this would only be valid if the only difference between cords is the shielding. | |
| Best budget, high current, DIY power cord wire? Grannyring, Thanks for your input. I agree, gauge isn't the only factor and it's certain that ac plugs count equally much, if not more. And shielding probably counts less than vibration damping or conductor isolation.Maybe I should spend less on t... | |
| Best budget, high current, DIY power cord wire? Supra Lorad is 13 ga, thinner than VH, DH or Cryo, to mention a few. DH Labs told me today that their literature on the Power Plus wire is incorrect, it's 11 ga, not 12. | |
| Best budget, high current, DIY power cord wire? Hmmmm. I doubt that Home Depot type wire is the same quality as, say, DG Labs, which is silver coated copper with shielding and vibration damping... | |
| Best budget, high current, DIY power cord wire? Acrolink is $145/meter! I mean BUDGET wire. | |
| Best Male & IEC plug for high current power cords? Cable Asylum's a good resource... IF one has the time to wade through. I'm hoping someone can summarize so I don't have to. Besides recommendations for power amp cords, I'd appreciate recommendations for source cords -- in particular, a transport ... | |
| Best Male & IEC plug for high current power cords? But what effect do the flavors -- copper, silver, gold, rhodium -- have on the sound? And how well do they mate with different materials, for instance, copper wire and silver plugs, or silver wire and gold plugs, etc? | |
| KCI Silkworm vs Cable Research Labs Copper? Arthur, I don't have the Silkworm ICs, but am considering them. I'm looking for a dac-pre cable that is detailed yet relaxed, with harmonic depth. Too many cables sound thin and emotionally uninvolving to me. |
