I test and make cables daily. It is what I do. Yes, I test all manner of gauge, dialectic, twist, materials etc.., No, not just once or one combo. It may be possible to find an outlier to my comment and in audio one must always leave the door of p...

Without fanboy comments how do we learn about great new products here on the Gon? Early adopters are a must and reading about actual experiences is what this site is really for. As more folks try and like a given product I would expect the fanboy ...

Correct, larger gauge won’t get you what you are looking for. I tried a standard 12 gauge set vs the DS method with 16ga and the DS method with 16 gauge was certainly better in every way.  
Has anyone tried these stunning new CPT power cord?
Filtering out of noise on the line. Only use Audience XO caps in this position for safety reasons.

Correct, I added the Audio Magic tweak and then removed it.  I have the 2170,  not the 3400.  I think the 2170 is all most would need and perhaps sounds a tad more organic and musical.   
Who Here Makes Their Own Power Cables?
Thanks for the explaination. Makes complete sense.

Agree on the wire and cap  directionality.  Heard it on Duelund and other caps. Just have not heard it on the Duelund stranded wire as yet.

Who Here Makes Their Own Power Cables?
Guess I flunked. I use a lot of Duelund stranded and tinned copper wire in cotton for ICs, speaker cables, USB and DC cables. No markings on this Duelund wire. The newer 600v 12 gauge bulk wire for power cords has printing on it. Heck if I have de...

Sometimes yes and sometimes no depending on how the wire was produced. You must listen and test for audible changes.  So your ears determine as always. I hope I pass and not flunk out.

What are CDs? Ha! Any CD I may buy will get ripped immediately and loaded into Roon with all the music I stream from Tidal. What a joy to have all this music available with just a couple of clicks! Amazing time to be a lover of music. I am listeni...

I just went for the Zen without trying the ZENith.  Did not compare.  I have read in numerous places that the much more expensive ZENith is not that much better.  It’s a tad better, not 25% better or anything like that.  Innuos removes all the gla...

I just received my Innuos Zen 3 and it is remarkable.  So meaty and full bodied while serving up the details in a most musical manner.  This unit is only $2500 or so with 1T of memory.  I loaded 1020 CDs and only used 50% of the space. I have hear...
