Any point in upgrading stock cables for a LPS?

@macg19 - from what I can see the Node N130 has a mains 2 pin power socket

1. did the LHY LPS noticeably improve performance?
2. I have the Node 2i and I have replaced the stock power cable with an excellent DIY cable of my own design - it significantly improved its performance

You could try one of your existing Zavfino PC’s on the Node N130 by buying a 3pin to 2pin adapter like this one

• Amazon.com: PNGKNYOCN C14 to C7 Power Adapter,10A 250V AC IEC 320 C14 Male to C7 Female Power Adapter，Standard AC Power Cord Plug(2Pack) : Electronics
• I took this approach - first trying one of my 3in PC’s on my Node 2i before buiding it’s own power specific 2 pin cable

FYI - the power cables on both my Node 2i and my Simaudio Moon phono stage use solid silver wire for the Live conductor to maximize their details and dynamic performance.

• whereas the power cables for my amp and power distibution box all use OCC copper conductors

@macg19 - thanks, hope you can make use of the info

If  you have some spare time - take a look at

• to see what others have contributed to the Helix Cable design - it's a bit long. but some good info also

The photography - thankfully, I'm not as passionate about the phtography as I am cables - that might get me thrown out of the house 😉

Why are mens hobbies so damn expensive - needle point next🤣

@williewonka Ha!

About the LHY LPS: Yes, SQ improvement was not subtle. The upgrade requires replacing the internal powerboard as well as adding an outboard LPS so there is no need for adapters. 

I replaced the cheap PC to the LPS with a good quality PC I had on hand and that helped too which surprised me.

PS: FWIW All in My Digital source cost about $3700 including NOS Mullard’s, isolation base, vibration control, cables and LPS.

It sounds pretty good and very satisfying when compared to my much more expensive analogue source.

anything that needs to be plugged into the main supply will benefit from a good power cable

Unless you don’t believe in power cords or DACs or amps or streamers or speakers …. Whatever. In which case nothing matters
