Shielded power cord best used on Digital/Source or on Tube Amps?


Well I just tried the Furutech DPS-4 power cable with the Furutech Fl-50 Nano connectors. I hate to say this but it is a very, very, good power cable. Detail without brightness and a deep deep soundstage. Powerful full range and great dynamics. Actually the best power cord that I have tried.

I ended up buying 7 meters of the raw DPS-4 cable and decided to try my hand making power cables for my system. I also purchased the Furutech Fl-50 NCF Nano AC/IEC connectors.

I will also be obtaining some Nanotech 308 cable. This cable does not seem to have the extreme shielding that the Furutech does, so my plan is to use the Furutech DPS-4 on my Digital and front end source equipment and the Nanotech 308 with my Amps. Both cables are 11 gauge.

Is that what you guys recommend before I start cutting lengths? The Amp cables need to be 3M & 2M long.

Thanks,

Thanks grannyring for the info on the shield being connected to the ground. I had heard of people using the shield in some way but no specifics. 

I got one FP-SO22N and it is pretty good on my dac and integrated amp but I may open up the outlet end and try connecting the shield to the ground.

I sent you a message but it could benefit those reading here as well. Where did you order the DPS-4? I see Chris at VH Audio has it for $360 a meter. Was hoping it could be sold by the foot.
Yeah, once you add it to your cart the price drops. I just sent Chris a message asking if it can be sold by the foot or at least by the .5 meter. 1.5m would be good.

How does the DPS-4 compare to the FP-S022N in your opinion? Have you used both on the same component? I was able to ground the shield to the outlet end plug yesterday on the S022N and call me crazy but I do think it's better that way.

 I find I like it much more than the FP-S55N I've tried in the past but still not sure I prefer it over any of the CT blue/red/yellow cables as I really like what they do for my system.
