Oyaide Cables

@tuffy72561 I think it all depends on how much money you want to spend. I've not heard the Matrix power cord but my experience with all of the Cerious Graphene power cords, what I've read others have said that own the Matrix and my gut is telling me to go with the Matrix Power Cord. The Oyaide TUNAMI GPX-R V2, I'll bet would sound very good but to my surprise, I've not heard that power cord either, turns out I purchased the TUNAMI GPX V2 power cord which is slightly different but still very good at a fraction of the cost of the Matrix.
Don't misunderstand the Furutech SO22N and DPS-4 are good also. One never knows what will sound best in their system and room until one demo's. 

I think all the cables tuffy72561 mentioned are really good cables and like lak said its just a matter of trying them out in your own system to see what is preferred. From what I’ve heard thus far I would also say that if your system is a tad on the warm side that the Super Stroke and BM v2 could be a nice fit. And if things are a tad on the bright or lean side then probably anything from Furutech is good with the GE and Matrix being down the middle. But then you can always mix and match to each component to get a desired effect, which could have you going around in circles but hey that’s half the fun!

And don’t underestimate the cable going from the wall to your conditioner or power station. I was playing around over the weekend changing out the GE yellow for a DPS-4 and got really good synergy with everything. I currently have a BM v2 on both my dac and integrated amp with Matrix speaker cables and the DPS-4 on the conditioner that feeds everything really made for quite a nice soundstage and gave me some of the best sound I’ve heard. Of course I’m not done and will continue experimenting with different setups but I’m pretty happy with the way things are. Would like to get more Matrix cables but need to save up. The journey continues....

I'm really liking these Terzo ic's. Need to try the rhodium connectors on them but so far the cheap gold Furutechs are working well. Looking at the prices of already assembled pairs of Terzo ic's it seems the diy doesn't save as much money as it does with the power cables especially considering which brand and model connectors you choose.

t_ramey,

My Terzo V2 were factory terminated with their latest Genesis RCA and it's a very good sounding cable with no brightness. Let us know how the rhodium works out.

@david_ten   I compared it specifically to the Wireworld Starlight 7, AudioQuest Carbon and Chord C-USB so it was a real world comparison. I know that as you go up the scale, some people have claimed increments of improvement but I flat out stopped with the Neo d+ A. I know that silver works well in certain applications but I've found that it does best with tube gear and can be slightly "too" crystalline in certain setups. With SS I often prefer copper for a more organic presentation. For instance when I hear a cello, I want it to sound like a cello with aged wood, not a finely polished "new" instrument. I am using a tube pre of my own design feeding a Boxed Gobo chip amp based on LM1875's run with balanced power producing approx 15 watts. Speakers are also my own design (Speakerlab Fremont that I designed while with the company) and alternating with a tuned pair of Tannoy DC1000 speakers. Kimber cable throughout. The Oyaide made everything fall into place and gave me the goosebumps I was after. It just stopped sounding like a cable and a DAC and sounded like real music in a real venue.
