I just got a couple Furutech S-032N cables with Furutech F1-11G connectors made by Chris Venhaus of VH Audio one 4 and one 5 foot both under $500. Nice richness and warmth and tons of detail. One is on my DAC the other on my preamp. Great customer service from Chris as well.
Organic Power Cord with Micro-Detail
Is it possible to have both good micro detail and an organic warm sounding power cable?
I’ve got an Audio Research Ls25 mk1 preamp; switching between a BMI Whale Elite and a Nordost Brahma power cords. Love all the micro detail the Brahma brings out, but wish it was warmer and not as fast. Piano sounds amazing and real with the Brahma, but it kills some of the soul and intimacy when listening to Sade. The BMI adds greatly to the soundstage, bass, punch, and warmth, but there’s also some detail loss and raises the noise floor I’ve found.
Just added a Shunyata Black Mamba CX to my phono preamp (allnic h1200) which dropped the noise floor significantly, added control, and some sweetness. Worked well on the LS25 as well but not quite what I want.
DCCA Ref One power cord on Audioprism Debut tubed amp, really like what it does. DCCA added detail, amazing clarity to vocals, and a bit of forwardness. Wonder if combining multiple DCCA cords will overly emphasize their house sound. I like having multiple flavors in my system. Variety’s the spice of life.
I’ve heard great things about ribbon power cords, Electraglide and Elrod. Would these steer me in the right direction? Looking to keep it under 500.00 if possible.
Sources are 80% vinyl and 20% Bluetooth streaming.
