Who Here Makes Their Own Power Cables?
I made my own simple pc per some direction from Duster at the Cable Asylum. Two meters Oyaide Black Mamba cable and their moderately upscale connectors ~$100 each. Total was a bit more than $400 and judging by the sq I got after a *lengthy* break-... 
SR UEF Blue Power cables
Wow - sorry you had to go thru that. I'm from the SF bay area. I was just flying back in with my new bride on Oct 17, 1989 when the big Loma Prieta quake hit us. We were about 45 minutes out of San Jose when they made the announcement on the plane. 
Power cords - Cabledyne vs Signal Cable
Auditioned two Cabledyne 12AWG silver cables. Kept one, returned the other. Listened long term to the first one on pretty much every component. Ended up coiling it up, tossing it into the surplus cable box and restoring the original cables. Thin a... 
SR UEF Blue Power cables
Installed one 12AWG cable on the Audio Note Soro integrated, and the 10AWG on the driver for the Torus sub. The sub driver is powered up 24/7, the integrated is not. Played Spotify a couple of hours in the mornings before work and in the evening a... 
SR UEF Blue Power cables
Joenies - perfect. Looking forward to comparing your experience with mine. I ordered two 12AWG cables for the dac and integrated. One 10AWG for the sub driver. 
SR UEF Blue Power cables
I converted to their blue fuses maybe a year ago and have been very happy with the results. There does not appear to be much of a buzz about these cables here or AA. Too new? I have some old Signal Cable power cords I'd like to upgrade. I'll give ... 
Power cords - Cabledyne vs Signal Cable
I'll be doing exactly that this weekend. Just received a Synergy silver power cord for evaluation. Currently using a Signal silver alloy on an Audio Note Soro integrated.If there is still any interest in this topic I'd be happy to report back over... 
Oyaide Cables
@ t_ramey - you are spot-on about the cable to the power conditioner. I assembled a 2m BM cable with Oyaide P/C-004 plug & IEC this past Saturday morning, intending to replace the old Signal Cable pc on the dac. No break-in time and the confus... 
Oyaide Cables
@ozzy - very much looking forward to your comparison of the BMV2 and the CTM power cords. 
power cables where do I start?
+1 on the Signal Cable Magic PC's being an decent, inexpensive upgrade from stock and being a reputable dealer. I've owned them for years and am just now looking to upgrade from there, starting with the dac.+1 on the post from lak also. 
Oyaide Cables
Excellent thread. @ desktopguy - was your new Oyaide coax a DIY or was it assembled a the factory? I'm looking to upgrade my coax connection.Have 2m of the BM bulk cable on my workbench now. Awaiting delivery of a set the Oyaide 004 plugs. Intend ... 
Power Cord
I need a flexible power cord for a new dac, so I ordered 2m of the Black Mamba bulk cable and a set of the Connext connectors with the rhodium plated copper contacts. I read about this recipe in the Cerious Technologies cables thread here on Agon.... 
The new Synergistic Research BLUE fuses ....
Blue on order to replace original, general purpose Buss fuse in the driver for the Torus sub. Should receive it this week and then have a serious listen this weekend. I'd previously replaced a similar Buss fuse with one of the SR black ones in the... 
Graphene in fuses and cost
Ordered a SR Blue yesterday for the Torus sub driver to replace the Buss general purpose fuse that is currently installed. Replaced a similar fuse in a new (for me) Audio Note Soro integrated with an SR Black about 6 months ago. Very pleased with ... 
StarSound Sistrum racks
After much consultation and consideration, I took a leap of faith and bought Apprentice platforms from Robert at Starsound. Short story - money well spent. Had decent-to-serious equipment at the time, enough that my friends thought I was crazy to ...
