@audphile1 Same camp with Furutech DPS-4.1 and GTX-D NCF outlets. There is a synergy and energy with that combo. Like breathing oxygen into the organism. You are correct, digital and analogue benefit equally. Fun stuff.

@sfpeloton yes definitely try. One really cool thing if you DIY is to swap connectors. The FI-50 NCF Rhodium are the best R connectors in the furutech line. But I think, depends on the overall sound signature you’re looking for, the gold plated connector options are worth exploring in some cases. Have fun! |
Some audiophiles will tell you that the reason that a audiophile grade, expensive ones, power cable does not make a difference is because your system is not good enough. If I were a dealer or a cable designer, I will tell you the same thing. Hey, everyone needs to make a living. I am NOT saying the stock PC is fine. I am saying the effect of PC on SQ is not as dramatic as that of IC, digital or speaker cable and does not need to that expensive. Spend your money wisely elsewhere it truly matters for the sound. |
I upgraded my stock component power cables to Shunyata Research, first with their mid-tier then to their top tier...did this slowly over the years as used ones showed up for sale or when the Cable Guy was running a discount one month. They do make a difference. Although, I would offer the biggest difference was when I had my electrical breaker panel redone and two dedicated drops with new/better rewiring run to my audio room, including upgraded outlets. Some of the best money spent since I started putting my system together; all of my components benefited with notable improvements. The cost was much less than the 6 Shunyata power cables; and the benefit was to the entire room. I found a reference guide in one of the Audiogon forums someone had tagged, for the electrician to go by. If I can find it again will repost. |
