Steve, et all … I've now looked at the link Steve provided, and recall reading that exact post in the past, perhaps 2 years ago (?). It is very much what I had in mind for DIY configuration, but not nearly as advanced as the detail provided there (just didn't remember all of that!)....now having the link saved, I will absolutely be giving that a go...its just too easy, and just too inexpensive to not try! ... With the caveat, that I will of course have to do the same with a "quality" DIY cable from either Cardas, DHL, etc., for comparison, and a straight up chord from another company such as Furutech. I do have the upside of building a secondary system in my basement out of my older equipment, where I can put, and have been putting, what I find not quite to my liking in my primary system. I truly enjoy seeing the new heights I can take the old system too. I will happily post my findings here, and perhaps as an additional thread. Yes, its probably been done before, but it wouldn't hurt to 'unbury' the info with a refresh for newcomers to see....such as myself, with great thanks to Steve.
DIY Power Cables Instead of Used
Good Day All,
I'm hoping to gain from the benefit of your experiences comparing power cables, or your knowledge from extensive reading. I'm leaning heavily toward DIY at this point, but am always open to overachieving reasonably priced new from authorized U.S. distribution or European channels. Though I was originally very big on shopping mid to high end pre-owned power cables, I am no longer entertaining the used market for this purchase.
I ask that you please share what your observations of a brand/model are, rather than just throw a brand name out and say you recommend it. Any help you could provide is greatly appreciated. I'm seeking to upgrade the power chords on all of my components and am already working on installing direct circuits from the service panel, with audio grade receptacles.
Thanks ...
