Some Cables Thoughts

@bigkidz I have purchased the Audio Zen Satori's as recommended by @soix @audphile1 ​​@jetter. They just arrived yesterday so I hope to give them a test drive later today. Then onto the power cable dilemma!

I'll need a cord for my music server, DAC and pre-amp. The power amp will be the tough one though, as the Furutech outlet is dead center behind the p. amp and I'd like to get the amp as close to the wall as possible. Hence my query on the 90-degree male end for a DIY application. I still need to contact VH Audio about this.

Oh ya, and then there's the power conditioner. I found this one on USAM:

On power conditioners, I’ve been intrigued by balanced power conditioners and was impressed with what I read about Core Power Technologies products prior to them being bought by Underwood Hifi. Their Equi=Core 1800 Mk3 sells for $1799 and comes with a $400 upgraded power cord. I don’t know how it compares to the Niagara, which I’ve also read great things about, but there are reviews of the 1800 out there that might be worth a read. Anyway, just thought this might give you another interesting option to consider FWIW…

Looking forward to your thoughts on the AZs BTW. 🤞🤞🤞

@soix thanks for the lead on the CPT units, I will check out that link! 

Some also mentioned Shunayata, they have some reasonably price PCs as well. Talk about buying locally, they are just a couple of hours down the road from me, although I don't think they sell direct.

After seeing up to thick garden hose PCs, I was a bit shocked to see the flexible Puritan cable

Maybe consider the Audience ForteF3 which is similar in price to the Shunyata Venom.

@kennyc ok, let me check it out, thanks
