DIY Power cables: quality wire?
I’ve trierd two furutech bulk cables and preferred the bulk cables from DH Labs - mainly because they are 1/3rd the price and the difference between them musically is subtle DH Labs are built for home audio environments - low EMI/RFI and no liquids (at least in my home) Furutech are built for much harsher environments e.g. high amounts of EMI/RFI and protection from a wide variety of chemicals - this tranlates to a higher price The wire quality in both is very good.

I just completed 3 DIY cables consisting of the highly regarded Furutech FP-S55N Limited Edition with Furutech FI-50 NSF connectors,With only 40 hrs on the new cables I sold off all my Shunyata sigma's and alpha nr cables. Yes there that good and considerably cheaper. I have been reading that the S55n is sold out or very hard to find in the US, Furutech has released a new Limited Edition called the DSP-4 which is supposed to be even better but twice the price as the S55N. |
take a look at Take Five Audio I have used their silver plated Mil-spec wire on power, speaker and IC's with great success - very dynamic and neutral sounding From my listening tests I consider this wire to be as good as Furutech and DH labs https://www.takefiveaudio.com/products/1098-mil-spec-12-awg-silver-plated-copper-cryo-treated-green/ Here are links to the cables i currently use http://image99.net/blog/files/category-002ahelix-interconnect-cable.html http://image99.net/blog/files/category-002ahelix-power-cable.html http://image99.net/blog/files/category-002ahelix-speaker-cable.html As for the C7 connector - I use this one and I find irt to be exceptional https://www.ebay.com/itm/Vanguard-Audio-Grade-CRYO-Gold-Plated-Figure-8-IEC-C7-Plug-Female-Connector...
