Anyone try Supra LoRad 2.5 PCs?

Thanks guys. So, what I'm thinking is that I want something a little beefier for my SS amp that puts out about 125W. I'm considering getting a 5 foot run of DH Labs Power Plus (7 bucks per foot) for my amp since it might appreciate the added bulk, and then get two runs of LoRad 2.5 (about 5 bucks per foot) for my pre and DAC. I'll be buying some Wattgate plugs to attach to all of them (Oyaide just not in the budget right now), but given the small price differential should I just do all DH Labs for all three or would that be unwise or overkill? Do you think the LoRads might sound better for the preamp and/or DAC applications? Any other cables I should consider here that might substantially better these for a few bucks more? I'm sure they'll all be an improvment over stock cords, but while I'm doing this I might as well maximize whatever I'm getting out of it.

By the way, it seems really easy to terminate your own power cables if you have a small screwdriver and only takes like 20 minutes or so per cable. And looks like it costs something like three times the price to have a company terminate them for you (i.e. I can basically build a $210 PC for 70 bucks). I know labor is a major cost factor, but at this point in my understanding this seems a little out of whack given the simple labor involved and maybe a fairly well-kept secret in the audio industry, no? Thanks again for all your help and thoughts.

Soix, my Rowland puts out 250 watts/ch. Can do 25 watts/ch pure class A and therefore it draws.. the Lorad works VERY well with this amp ( make sure you get the Lorad 2.5 and NOT the smaller version). BTW, the amp needs a 20 amp iec and the Wattgate that I use is the same model that Nordost uses on their Brahma.

Thanks Daveyf. Looks like I'll go all LoRad 2.5s with Wattgates and see how it works out. Incidentally, what kind of differences did you notice versus the Diamondbacks and any others (i.e. stock, etc.) you may have tried? Have you tried it on a preamp, CDP, DAC? If so how did it do in those applications? Thanks again.

Soix, I haven't tried the Lorad on any other component. All of my other gear uses 15 amp iec's and I have dedicated power cords for those pieces.
Compared to the Diamondback, the Lorad was a lot quieter and seemed to bring the bottom end to life more with a clarity that the Diamondback couldn't match. Compared to stock, that's where the dividends really came into play, a nice improvement across the board.

I just built two double-run ("shotgun") PCs out of LoRad 2.5 with Furutech Edison and IEC connectors (FI-25M-N1, FI-25). The shotgun construction gave me the equivalent of 9 AWG wire. I'm using them for a Cambridge Audio Azur 840C CD player and a Perreaux SM6 MKII preamp. The PCs now have about 25 hours on them.

The improvement over stock PCs was apparent immediately, and the improvement was dramatic. The improvement was on all dimensions -- spatialization, dynamics, timbre and definition.

I completed the work on the PCs at about 2:30am one morning, started listening immediately, and was so pleased with the result that I stayed up listening to various tracks for another hour. I should have taken some time to burn in the cables, but I was impatient.

I was most impressed with the difference in the clarity in renditions of complex orchestral music -- e.g., Solti's Chicago Symphony performance of Beethoven's Ninth Symphony. Before installing these cables I had a slight "muddle in the middle" ranges of complex passages with rapid transients -- this despite numerous upgrades in ICs and mods to my vintage Polk Audio SRSs. These prior improvements had significantly reduced the "muddle," but did not completely eliminate it. Installation of the Supra LoRad 2.5 PCs appears to have eliminated it.

I can't say how single runs would work, but this particular shotgun build with LoRad 2.5 produced a great result for me, far better than I expected. I also found the cable much easier to work with than other 9-12 AWG cable.
