Has anyone used Supra AC connectors ???


Hi,
I am experimenting with AC connectors at present. I have a fairly neutral AC cord which is showing up huge differences between various connectors. Have already tried out some Oyaides and Furus. They are all nice but I was also looking at the Supra connectors. I could not read about their signature tonality anywhere. Any ideas ?

I agree that the Supra AC connectors are at least awkward and not very good from an engineering design standpoint.

However I have used the Lorad 2.5 and 3.5 in a fairly resolving system with Furutech connectors (silver plated IECs and copper wall ends).

I've used them in my Theta CarmenII transport and my Oppo 93 player. I cannot comment exactly on their musicality for a preamp or DAC, but their ability to flex made the installation behind my equipment rack ideal. I believe as a shielded power cable is a very nice design and absolutely great for digital sources, and can be used for sure as a starting point until something better comes along. However the connectors are really not good and infact difficult to terminate. I did not notice anything negative using them in my transport and infact I could detect the quietness in the background when playing stereo.

I also used a 15 m Lorad PC going to my Optoma projector from an HDMI switcher. During installation I chose the shielded Lorad due to its price mainly, but also because I had to run it right next to my equally long Wireworld HDMI inside a conduit. Typically this proximity is a no-go for long HDMI cables, but Lorad worked wonderfully and there is no interaction whatsoever even though they are almost touching each other.

Other cables I've tried Neotech 3001 (Theta Pre),3003 (W4S DAC in a different system) and MAC-HC (power amp).
