Let's talk power cords

@jond I look forward to reading what you have to say about your new Furutech FP-S032N with gold FI-11 connectors on your power cord. I've read so many posts on the various Furutech wire that I don't remember if you have tried any of the other Furutech wire? Should sound quite nice on your preamp or Dac!

Oh! and +1 jmcgrogan2 (LOL)!

@lak This is a first Furutech for me! I really only dabbled a  bit with power cords, Signal cable a less expensive model from Stealth the HAC. Neither made a difference I could hear. Picked up a Cerious Nano-Signature cord a few years back was blown away. I'm hoping that my system has evolved to the point that differences between the Furutech and Cerious cables are readily apparent. I will be reporting back!

@jond 

Your system is sweet. There will be nowhere for the differences to hide. I bet you're going to have some fun. Looking forward to your report.

Cheers,

Scott

So the Furutech arrived a little while ago put it on my DAC. Three tracks into Bill Evans Trio "Live at Shelly's Manne-Hole" I feel like I'm hearing more overall transparency. Getting more of a sense of Bill's fingers hitting the piano keys and Chuck Isreal's fingering his bass. Bass itself seems a tad deeper and more resolved. Highs seem the slightest bit softened, perhaps more natural or perhaps a tiny bit rolled off? I think more auditioning as well as further break-in will tell the difference. I did get the gold plated plugs which are supposed to be a bit warmer. Plus I'm being incredibly unfair and premature even posting,  the cable was literally still cold from the outside temps when I dropped it in the system. So far I like what I'm hearing and the cable itself looks great very well finished understated and serious. More to come. And thanks to Chris Venhaus and VH audio for a great overall experience I very highly recommend them.

+2 jmcgrogan2. Sadthetic, perfect description 😊.

Jond,
Good early impression for a brand new and "cold" power cable. Like your choice of test recording. Jon we are both jazz afficianos, here is one for you that I’m listening to as I type. "Minus Oh Yeah" Charles Mingus is a different flavor from Bill Evans but I think you may enjoy it. Minus is as you know a bassist but plays piano on this recording. Track 5 is a beautiful blues.

"Minus In Wonderland" is a bit more typical Mingus and he is back on bass. Okay back to the thread topic😊.
