Power Cable Shootout...

Did a power cord shoot out as well which I posted on my system threads.
I bought the Aural Symphonics yesterday.
Alexsee has it pegged and agree with his process.
Any cable be it PC, speaker, interconnect or digital will have some sort of sonic signature. The signature they impart depends on components used, ac filtering, ac quality from the wall, and length of cables proximity to other cables and on and on...........
The best thing to do is get as many cables that you can and try them yourself. Only you can be the judge with what works in your system.

Re: The Cable Company
I also live in Canada. If you live near the border (who doesn't) then get em shipped to the closest US town. This way you get around the "only in the US".
Make sure you keep the receipts when you declare for customs, this way you will get back the pst and gst on the ones you return.
Good luck,

Best isolated PC out there??? I am not interested in sound characteristics but excellent shilding from in and out (minimum interferance). I have heard Silent Source and I like it but is there a cheaper version of this cord or similar performer but for less. Used is fine. Budget - $500-$600 for pair. Short runs, 3f-6f max.

Thanks

Mrjstark,

If you're interested in shielding check out the Oyaide Tunami GPX or Acrolink PCs. They are in your price range and are great values for the price.

Thank you Clio, I will check it out. My main concern is PC that will screw with neighboring IC and SC. My monos power,iC and speaker terminals are very, very close to each other......I fear that it will create the hummm that I can not tolerate. I have to use wood blocks to keep them apart to prevent interaction and noise that is clearly heard through the speakers when cables are in contact or cross each other. Does the active shilding works? Like Synergistic spk. wires or ICs. Just wondering......I have heard them before but they are very, very expensive......Nevertheless, I liked what I have heard.

Acrolink P-6N4030 is unshielded, though Oyaide Tunami cable is.

At $85/meter for the Oyaide cable from VH Audio, you can build your own very easily, especially with Furutech connectors that only require a screwdriver - no heatshrink or anything else except a wire stripper.

I built four AC cables with the Acrolink cable and Furutech FI-25 series connectors for my analog gear and am very happy with the results. The Furutech FI-11 series connectors will save some money (about $150 for a 1 meter homebrew Oyaide Tunami PC w/FI-11s on both ends).

I have commercial Oyaide Tunami and PS Audio Statement SC shielded cables for digital - both perform very well, though the PS Audio is bulky and not easily positioned.
