| Where to put your best power cable? WRT: I have found that sometimes the 14 gauge will sound a bit better on front-end components as opposed to a larger gauge wire. This is may be due to variations in the materials and geometry used in each of the cables - for example the ins... | |
| Where to put your best power cable? @christianb5s4 ... The FINA as suggested by @lak is a good option But for a few bucks more, I would go for the MAJESTIC, simply becasue I could try/use it on any other component, like the amp, to see how it responds. Personally...I like all my ... | |

| Advice for RCA Interconnect Upgrade? @lrlacosse - Take a look at Zavfino cables - they are reasonably priced and offer a progressive range of cables from entry level to advanced They are very dynamic and neutral sounding and offer outstanding clarity and detail. Regards - Steve | |
| Has anyone ever tried cables made with OCC (Ohno Continuous Cast) Copper? @dougthebiker - OCC copper (or the various other variants along the same lines) make a significant difference over OFC copper - mainly in the area of dynamic performance. Clarity, Details and Tonal Neutrality are closely tied to the cable geometr... | |
| Power cords: Anticable vs Mad Scientist @mdrone - at that price I would look at Zafino cables, because they use OCC copper and employ more effective cable geometries and improved insulations. They should provide lower noise floor (due to the cable geometry) faster dynamic perfo... | |
| Zavfino OCC SILVER DART 1.5 power cable @ortodox - Zavfino is one of the better cable makers. I have studied their cable fabrication methods and to me their science is valid. They are one of the few cables I would recommend because of the approach and ,materials they use. The science ... | |

| ...Grounded or Ungrounded Power Cords... @odysseebooks - A question - does your system contain components that came with both 2 pin plugs and three pin plugs on the stock power cables? Over the years I have oswned many Two-pin (or double insulated) components More often than not they w... | |
| how to buy power cords that fit my components (i.e tight and snug) @audiocanada - Try the aluminum foil tape (Home Depot) used on heating ductwork. A couple of small pieces on the underside of the plug should be adequate it is not spongy or slippery just make sure it does not extend past the end of the plug ... | |
| Duelund conversion to DIY Helix Geometry Cabling @norco74 - I would pass on that feedback to KLE Innovations - they do make changes if there is a valid case for an upgrade. They may not change the existing model, but they may introduce an upgraded product to their lineup, specifically for amps ... | |
