So, I have now made several cords with the Furutech DPS-4 and the Furutech NCF connectors. I connected the outer shield ground to the ground wire as a drain wire connected at the AC plug end only.
Believe it or not the cable was not too hard to terminate.
I used a large copper tubing cutter from a hardware store to cut through to the copper shield/wire initially. Then I slit the copper shielded wire to make it into a cable /wire to be connected later to the ground wire. Then, wire strippers were used to trim the conductor insulation. On the cut wire ends I applied some Nano gold silver liquid.
Using the Furutech NCF connectors was also easy to work with. They have a groove on the side which meshes with a small rib inside the connector shell.
And it seems that using 11 gauge wire even with the added ground drain wire was not too difficult to insert and snug down. The cable clamp down is the best around.
The Furutech DPS-4 sounds very good on digital and with my tube power amps. But, I don’t have enough to use with all of the equipment, so the Nanotec 308 will make up the difference.
