The weirdness of it all

Power cables and power conditioning seem the next focus components.  While I struggle, as I'm sure many do paying premium for a chunk of wire, it seems that when done well, that chunk of wire is now an influential component in the chain allowing everything to shine.

I've slowly been upgrading all PCs with Furutech 4.1 with appropriate connectors and it has been nothing short of revelatory moving the needle of performance for the whole system.  I can liken it to completely refining a fuel injection system which in turn allows everything to work better producing better performance.

I've capped my insanity with the Furutech and do not see myself moving beyond that.  While certainly real capital, not hide the women and children capital like some products left unnamed.

I never put much stock into power cabling as I never had a system able to reflect the improvements they may have provided.

Now I have a system that is super revealing and I have spent the last 4 months auditioning and running experiments with a multitude of cables:

JPS Aluminata

Elrod EPS-2, -3, -3Sig

Hijiri Nogamo

Harmonix XDC Studio Master

Harmonix XDC - 350 Studio Master

Harmonix XDC2

Sablon Robusto

Signal Cable ?

NRG Custom The Five

ED 316

Kaplan HE MKII

Puritan standard line

and a Masterbuilt Reference is on the way.

It's crazy how the bass can be adjusted up or down and the sibilance can be tamed (or worsened), or you can really blur the sound with the wrong cable.
