If you’re going to get the furutech just confirm with Chris at VH Audio that the angle IEC connector can handle fps55 cable. It’s pretty thick.
Some Cables Thoughts
Working on those cable suggestions you all have offered up to me in the past. I was wondering if any of you might know of a decent grade 110V power cord that has a 90-degree male connector on it? Something like this:

If not, a super flexible cable something similar the stock one that came with my Coda amp, that can turn downward asap and not to long of a connector itself, some are supe long. I need to get tight to the back wall.
As fair as speaker cables, I was thinking of a pair of these, 6 feet long with spade ends.

Do I have your blessings?
PS: No one speaks much here about XLO cables. There are these on USAM - 6ft for $600 DIY terminations, I’d just use bare wire (if I could figure it out (lol)

There is another set there as well with bananas for $800, but I prefer spade.
Thank you!

@audphile1 will do, thanks! |
I cannot give you the secret but Mogami wire is used in the majority of speaker cables. The differences are in the design. Twisted wire, straight wire double insulation, shielding, etc. Use a tech flex on the other cover that reduces the electronic effect. It costs a few pennies more than the standard tech flex. Same goes for making your own power cables. Happy Listening. |
@bigkidz I have purchased the Audio Zen Satori's as recommended by @soix @audphile1 @jetter. They just arrived yesterday so I hope to give them a test drive later today. Then onto the power cable dilemma! I'll need a cord for my music server, DAC and pre-amp. The power amp will be the tough one though, as the Furutech outlet is dead center behind the p. amp and I'd like to get the amp as close to the wall as possible. Hence my query on the 90-degree male end for a DIY application. I still need to contact VH Audio about this. Oh ya, and then there's the power conditioner. I found this one on USAM: |
On power conditioners, I’ve been intrigued by balanced power conditioners and was impressed with what I read about Core Power Technologies products prior to them being bought by Underwood Hifi. Their Equi=Core 1800 Mk3 sells for $1799 and comes with a $400 upgraded power cord. I don’t know how it compares to the Niagara, which I’ve also read great things about, but there are reviews of the 1800 out there that might be worth a read. Anyway, just thought this might give you another interesting option to consider FWIW… https://www.underwoodhifi.com/products/equicore Looking forward to your thoughts on the AZs BTW. 🤞🤞🤞 |
