Furutech FP-TCS31 With FI-28 (R) Better than Virtual Dynamics Nite II Cord? Please Help
I couldn’t believe it I’m updating this thread so soon. Right, folks, the sound of my system suddenly changed for the better this morning. Played a variety of music, all familiar music. In brief summary, this is the best sound I’m currently gettin... 
Furutech FP-TCS31 With FI-28 (R) Better than Virtual Dynamics Nite II Cord? Please Help
Let us know. TCS is on my list to try next.   No problem. However, it will take some time since I only have the time to listen during the weekends so it may take several months. Also, the cable goes between the wall outlet and power conditione...

Thanks @audphile1 and all. Good to know. Now the long wait 😁👍  
Furutech FP-TCS31 With FI-28 (R) Better than Virtual Dynamics Nite II Cord? Please Help
Thanks digsmithd. When I first connected the cable and listened, it is not good. The sound quality is worse than the VD cord. The treble was rolled off and everything sounded warm and bunched up together, lacking clarity and detail. I am aware the... 
Anyone tried Frank Ultra Bank or Power Bank
I bought one earlier last month. It’s truly a revelation. Basically this component is adding dedicated lines to the system if the current electrical wall outlet is not dedicated. There will be limitless current on tap for all the components if the... 
Furutech FP-TCS31 With FI-28 (R) Better than Virtual Dynamics Nite II Cord? Please Help
Settled with the Fi-28 (R) to warm up to the Furutech sound. Will try the FI-50 (R) NCF in the future if I feel the itch. I will only have the time to install the cable and listen this weekend. I do hope it will meet my expectations / sounding bet...

Thanks for the responses. Looks like I will need to spend the money. FI-50 NCF is considerably more money but will attempt to stretch my budget and go for it.  
Vitus RI-101 mkII cables recommendation
Cables will help but I"m not sure to what extent, so people who have compared the Nordost Frey2 and Heimdall2 power cords and TQ2 Black speaker cables to other types may be able to provide some insight. The problem is whether the change in sound w... 
McIntosh to Luxman?
Good to know the Luxman L-507uX is sounding great. I have the L-590AXII and have owned many integrateds and pre-powers, some costlier than the Luxman. As mentioned by others here, I share the same impressions about the Luxman. Without going into d... 
upgrade Dynaudio Special 40 to Kef Reference 1
Of course there is an upgrade. The only problem is there is no end to the upgrade.   
Luxman 590AX II Break-In
The Luxman is gone. The McIntosh C2700/MC 611s sound glorious with the KEFs. The bass is easily 300% better. I could probably convince some that I am using a sub. The moral of this story is that room acoustics had nothing to do with the bass. It... 
Harbeth 30.2 or Falcon Gold Badge
Although I haven’t listened to the Falcons, personally I’d try them over Harbeth 30.2. Just like Yogiboy, I’ve listened to all models in the Harbeth line including the 40.1 (not 40.2 though), all pre-XD models. They are surely nice but after exper... 
Harbeth 30.2 or Falcon Gold Badge
If the room is able to accommodate larger speakers, I would recommend going with the size of a 30.2 or equivalent Falcon / other speakers such as Proac D2 etc. The P3ESR or equivalent LS3/5a version is nice but they are limited in their range both... 
lumin direct to "main in" section on Yamahas/Luxmans/Accuphase?
But to each his own. I have gotten to the point where I cannot even listen to solid state anything anymore without getting very angry and smashing the speakers....😀   Umm... I’m not sure if that’s the fault of solid-state amplifiers. Harshness... 
Harbeth 30.2 or Falcon Gold Badge
No experience with Falcons but with classic jazz and blues and human voice reproduction, the Harbeth M30.2 is one of the best if not the best. I find human voice to sound more lifelike on the 30.2 than SHL5+, all pre XD models. I’m not sure if the...
