Chord Dave and lInear power supply

For those of you who have the new Farad upgraded DAVE, what power cords are you using with it?

Thanks

The only issue I have and other I have spoken with is the few failures with a horrible 1 year warranty most others 3-5 year , 

Teddy pardo may not be quite as refined but close and has a Very solid 3 year warranty , that gives one much more confidence.

Farad LPs is still sensitive to EMI noise.

When I have above 60 $ unit in front of Farad, Dave’s sound got much fuller and cleaner.

It also works well with my Margules tube pre to similar effect.

After having above unit just in front of Farad LPS, violin sounds sweeter with natural tone.

Late to the discussion, however I have also taken an upgrade path with the Dave - first with the M Scaler which added greatly to the depth, soundstage and detail (in a good way). Then last year, based on reviews and the fact that Sean Jacobs’ US tech rep lives nearby, I took the plunge and added Sean Jacobs DC4/ARC6 LSU to the DAVE. The change was utterly transformative- as one would hope from such an expensive piece of kit. One cld argue that it would have been better to simply purchase a top end $30K DAC rather than “upgrade” the DAVE piece by piece. However, a one time $30k spend was not in the cards for me. (I suppose one could make the same argument with the Innuos Zenith MK3+PhoenixUSB+PhoenixNET as I did for the same reason as opposed to going directly to the Statement.

Nonetheless, I couldn’t be happier with my system now with the DAVE/M Scaler/SJ LPSU. There may be future upgrades to my system, but I think my “Rube Goldberg” approach to the DAC will satisfy me for a good long time.

The Sean Jacobs was the most recent add.
