Upgrading DC Cables for Linear Power Supply


I have bought some Linear Power Supplies as upgrades.

Wondering the options to upgrade the cable from the LPS to component.

There appear a range of options, with some more expensive than the LPS purchase price.

@rtilden I made dc cables using Mundorf silver/gold hook up wire with Oyaide DC plugs, I was pleasantly surprised by the improvement over the Uptone (not the upgraded Uptone) DC cables previously used. Using these on JCAT Netcard XE and Sonore OpticalRendu powered via Uptone JS2 lps. I'd estimate DC cables as important as the AC cable one is using on LPS. I also plug all streaming equipment LPS into my BPT 3.5 Sig balanced power conditioner. I've found it important to optimize the entire power chain with all streaming equipment, dc cables can be a weak link.

Thanks for your reply, SNS.  These short DC cables are cheap enough, I will give them a try.  FYI:  I am using the Node N130 as a streamer only, to my Weiss 501 DAC.  Really quite good, IMO.  Let me ask another question:

I thought I would try adding Herbie's Audio Labs Baby Booties under the Node, and also adding some Tenderfoot isolators under the LPS.  I really don't think I'm getting much in the way of induced vibration, but these are also pretty cheap.  Any thoughts about using these or other isolators under streamer and LPS?  Thanks.

 

I use a variety of isolation devices to get the exact voicing I'm looking for, I keep an excess of devices, never know when I'll need a particular device. On cheap side I like the spring devices you see on ebay, you can remove or add springs as needed, I've also used the Herbies devices. Actually using a Herbies puck under one of my streamers, spring devices under my other streamer, also use the Isoacoustics Gaia under some equipment, ball bearing devices, either ceramic or stainless steel balls, Stillpoints at the higher price level. Material used under these devices also critical to voicing. You have to experiment in order to determine best device, generally softer materials soften the sound, harder material more precise 

I found the supplied cable from Teddy Pardo to be good.

Bought a MiniTeddy to power a Project Stream Box S2 Ultra.
