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,

lak,

I see your point. However, I bought enough of the DPS-4 to power all of my source equipment including my Oppo 205.

Shielded power cables should really only be used if you are running power close or on top of other cables that are very sensitive electrical interference. I don't run any power cables with shielding on them.

jbny,

Thank you for your opinion.
I think each cable needs to be judged by its own design and if it enhances the components signature sound.

Hi guys,
Have anyone compared FP-SO22N and FP-SO32N to Neotech 3001/3002 MK III cables?
I would love to know the differences.
Thanks
