@lak Thanks for all your input here. I just ordered some Furutech FP-SO22N cable and some Furutech FI-28M(R)/FI-28(R) rhodium plated copper connectors to build a cable for my DAC’s linear power supply, based largely on your recommendation and my experience with another manufacturer’s nano treated cable products.
I really like Nanotec products, but they don’t make shielded power cables. When I moved my Nanotec #308 Power cable from my DAC’s LPS to my receiver and replaced it with a shielded cable of lesser quality I liked some of the changes with digital playback, but a large amount of the magic went with the #308. There is a lot of wire - both analogue and digital - behind my equipment, and shielding digital power cables seems to make some sense for my application.
Given the wire formula is similar between the Nanotec #308 and the Furutech SOXXN series wires, and given your description of FP-SO22N performance matches my experience with the Nanotec power cable, I thought I would take a swing at the shielded Furutech wire. I will report back on my findings.
A final note, I am also a huge fan of Furutech connectors. They are like audio jewelry, very well built, and seem to function and sound at least as good as advertised. I notice that their mid and high range connectors are routinely used on pre-made cables costing $1,500 and up. The cost of the wire and connectors for my DIY shielded cable is about $300.
