maxima95, I have not tried it yet. Will try it pretty soon. |
Just finished a power cord using double runs of WE 10awg twisted pair wire for an aggregate wire size of 7awg to each the positive and negative legs. I retwisted the four 10awg wires in a star-quad configuration so the two positive wires are across from each other when looking at the four twisted wires. The single ground wire is twisted in the opposite direction outside of the four current-carrying wires. I used a Furutech FI-11 (Cu) plug and iec. Since this is for a single large stereo power amplifier (300 wpc) I did not shield the cable since my experience is that, unless you have noisy conditions, power cords for power amplifiers sound better unshielded, although I do like to shield them for front-end and digital components. The cord is on the cable cooker and will be tried out later tonight where it will replace a very nice-sounding Furutech FP-Alpha 3 cord with Oyaide P79 connectors. |
I tried 22g western electric solid core as interconnects. 2 runs per each pos and neg leg and Switchcraft RCA plugs. Didn't like them in my system. Monochromatic- instruments sounded same with no individual color or timbre. I didn't have an interest in tweeking them to see if they could sound better. Once I heard them after three weeks for burn in I pulled them apart and have saved the Switchcraft RCA for a later use. Perhaps I should have tried them with one run per leg. Jet |
Heading out of town for a week but before I left want to give an update on Belden ICs terminated with Canare F10 RCA plugs. I think the mids open up and breathe a bit with the Canare. Bigger more spacious mids without losing the natural sound of the Belden /switchcraft combo. I won't characterize this as good or bad just food for thought. These things are system dependent but I do like the sound. Regards and happy holidays to all! Jet |
