I have tested the DPS4.1 with the FI-50 NCF plugs meanwhile, it sounds great. I have not compared the FI-48, but the dealer said they sound harsh in comparison and he cannot recommend them (maybe that's due to the metal housing). He recommended the FI28/38(R) when budget is an issue. I tried them with the cable for my streamer, where they sound great. I bought the FI-50s for the cable from the wall socket to my power filter. The DPS4.1 with them provides better resolution (best to hear with large choirs, I can hear single voices now) and better sound stage. Tonality is rather neutral, not warm, but reaching lower and higher at the same time. I meanwhile changed more connectors in my chain to Rhodium (starting with the wall socket and then going in the direction of the power flow), and it got better with every step. Same improvements: Resolution, clarity, dynamics, colors of sound. depth and body of instruments and voices.
Furutech FI-48 NCF (R) vs. FI-50 NCF (R)
Has anyone compared these power plugs (both Rhodium)? I want to use them on a Furutech DPS 4.1 cable in front of my power filter (Lab12 Gordian).
I'm gonna get a test cable soon (DPS 4.1 with the FI-50 NCF), together with the Furutech Rhodium NCF wallsocket (Schuko, since I'm in Germany). If that convinces me, I want to know whether I can save roughly 200 EUR on the connectors without losing too much.
I currently have Phonosophie wallsocket and Oyaide Tunami V2 cable with Iego and Oyaide connectors (gold plated).
