@audphile1 how do you find the Furutech Dss-4.1 speaker cables with totl furutech plugs? I am actually done with the system but have always admired these speaker cables. The only hindrance that is keeping me away from the Dss-4.1 is the high price.
Furutech PC's?
I am curious if anyone has experience with these components?
The Furutech DPS-4.1 features 11AWG OCC-DUCC copper conductors, dual shielding, and Furutech’s proprietary nano-ceramic and carbon anti-resonance damping material.
Connectors: The FI-50 NCF (R) series of power connector
It seems their stuff is very good but I don't know.

@ryder Well I cannot change the PC 0n my old Shunyata Hydra. I just had a new cord made a few months ago with DH Labs RED Wave Signature and a special plug. Where I am investigating new PC is on my amp, where there is a DH Labs Red Wave Signature now. That will graduate to the DAC. So if these Furutch are that finicky then maybe I shall pass.

@ryder DSS-4.1 were ok. Honestly not too crazy about the Furutech sound. I traded them in to TMR for a set of Audience FrontRow speaker cables. In direct comparison with Furutech prior to finalizing my decision the Audience won. I took about a week to make sure both the cables and my ears settle and begin evaluating. Further more, I had Audience AU24SX sp cables and they too sounded better to me than the furutech. I hear this weird coloration with Furutech be it power cords or sp wires and I just can’t get past it. The GTX-D outlets are probably the best Furutech item I tried. Sound is still colored but in a nice way although as I said in my initial response the dynamics are somewhat restricted with rounded leading edges. |
Thanks @audphile1 for the thoughts, appreciated. I can’t refute your experience on the weird coloration with Furutech power cords or speaker cables but have read some of these comments several years ago on whatsbestforum I believe. I have no problem accepting this as I acknowledge that everyone’s system is different and we all hear things differently. I don’t get this artificial coloration with the Furutech cords and outlet in my system but I can’t confidently say it’s not artificial coloration. All I can say is I like the sound presentation of the Furutech which gave me a bold, powerful and dynamic delivery. Without the DPS4.1 cord and GTX-D NCF outlet (which I believe brought the largest impact to the system), the system sounded pale, flat and lacklustre, lacking verve and dynamics. It is useful that you found the Audience FrrontRow to improve upon the DSS-4.1. I read a rather long review on the comparison between the DSS-4.1 and Audience AU24SX and it seems to favor the former more. https://taww.co/post/661286450716934144/review-furutech-dss-41-speaker-cable-dps-41-power-cord I am actually done with my system and do not have any immediate intention to change anything but if I catch the bug, I would look at speaker cables first and foremost. The DSS-4.1 in my desired length will be above my budget and will cost almost the same as the speakers which I currently own, so it will have to wait. A Naim NAC 552 / NAP 500DR owner on the Naim forum who recently picked up a pair of Furutech DSS-4.1 has given me some motivation to consider these cables. He initially tried the DPS4.1 power cord in his system and after being impressed by the performance of it, he went ahead with the DSS-4.1.
