How do you think this AC power will be?


DH Labs Silver Sonic-Red Wave Premium A/C Power Cable (10 gauge)

SonarQuest CRYO AG Silver Plated Series US NEMA Power Plug Connector ST-AgP(B) & ST-AgC(B)




I'm not doing anything fancy at least for now. I'm just connecting the wires to the plugs and that's it.

Guys - If you have any questions - just ask - happy to help

In terms of inprovements that can be acjieved....
- the Helix Speaker cables offered the most noticeable improvements
- the IC's were perhaps the next best
- the power cords are a little more complicated

The power cords improvements were most noticeable on components that have a less capable power supply - like source components.
- e.g. my Bluesound Node 2 streamer/DAC improved significantly, whereas my amp, although improvements can be heard - I found I had to listen more intently for subtle improvements in the music - such as the reverberations in venue acoustics. Live perofrmances excell in this area

The sound once all cables are of the helix design is very aluring and based on feedback from others that have tried them, confirms an almost holographic like 3d image that appears to make the speakers invisible and a level of clarity that allows music to be played at louder volumes without listner fatigue.

Of course, much of this has to do with room acoustics as well - so you job is not done quite yet

Just remember to allow the requisite time for burn-in - it is very important to achieve the best possible results

BTW - I changed the web site a little yesterday - for the power cables due to some recent findings...
- I now also recommend the Silver Plated Mil Spec for both the live and neutral conductors.
- it perfroms as well as the DH Labs and Furutech wire
- it is more affordable
- and you don't have to strip out the conductors

But if you already have the Bulk cables from either DH Labs or Furutech then you might as well use that.

Thanks for that. 

So you’re saying you can buy just the 10 gauge mil spec wire I read of the 12 gauge and braid it to achieve some great results also without going into the full helix power cable, is this correct?
Let me rephrase that question,

in your very first post you mention taking just the 10 or 12 gauge mil spec wire and simply just braiding it to achieve some very good results, correct?
@todd1010 - that is correct - the braided mil-spec wire will provide better sound than both the DH Labs and Furutech bulk cable.

If you have already purchased the DH Labs wire you can remove the outer sleeve and braid the three conductors for great results. apply some expandable sleeve for a more professional finish.

However - the Helix will provide better results than the braided PC,

If you are braiding the Mil-spec wire I would use the 12 gauge, because 3 x10 gauge mil-spec wires would be a really heft cable.

The Helix geometry allows you to build a thiner Power Cable...
- the live wire is 10 gauge
- the neutral is 2 x 12 gauge wires - combined makes a 9 gauge wire
- the ground can still be a single12 gauge wire
- the neutral and the ground also provides sheilding for the live wire

The ground is only there in the event of a catostrophic component failure, in which case, a breaker (or fuse) will trip. A 12 gauge wire is more than capable of handling this type of event in a home audio system.

The biggest advantage with the Helix is that it eliminates line noise and allows a connected component to work as designed.
- Whereas power cables that adopt a more standard geometry like the DH Labs and Furutech bulk cable  actually introduce noise into the PC.

Cleaner power = Better Sound Quality 

Hope that makes sense - Steve
Great. 

I have ave already ordered and I’m just waiting on the Sonar Quest end plugs. I ordered directly from the main site and have not gotten any information about shipping or anything. 

I order there here and probably paid more than ones on eBay or wherever but I was afraid to buy some knock offs.
