Just placed my order for two Seven Plus PCs for my AtmaSphere M60 amps, a Ten Plus to try on my pre-amps, and a Digital American for my beloved Gustard X20U DAC. Nothing succeeds like excess!

Please let us know what you think.
What made you decide to go this route?
Wish I were in a position to do what you are.

Hooray! I suspect you'll like the improvement in SQ.

I look forward to your impressions.

Michael,
Alan tells me that you'll like the American Digital on the X20.

Don,
I got a "wild hair" (or was it hare?) this week and started researching DIY power cables. The roads led me to Triode Pete, and I figured he can do it much better than I can, and for not a lot more money.

I'll post my impressions in a couple weeks when I get them.

Cool! That was my expectation and hope. I couldn't resist temptation when Ron placed a 'for sale' tag on it in the Trading Post. Now I just have to contend with my anticipation levels as my return date gets ever closer. I'll be back in just two weeks!

I'll be interested in your comments. I've got a couple of TWL power cords, and find them to be difference makers.

I tried several power cords over the past couple years and heard no difference on my Oppo 105, Rowland Consummate line/phono, or AtmaSphere M60 amps. Since then, moving to new ICs, relocating my electronics from between the speakers, running a dedicated 20A line, and replacing the Oppo with a new DAC have greatly increased the resolution of my system, so I figure it is time to try PCs out again. Ralph Karsten, the designer/manufacturer of my amps, claims improvements with better PCs on the amps, but I didn't hear anything when I tried it before, so we'll see.

I'll let you know my findings.

Interesting. I found that my Oppo 95 responded significantly to changing power cables. I've got amps that respond (Dodd designs) and others that don't (Moscode). Some find changes to TV's; I haven't.

Welcome to the TWL family! I have a full loom of PCs and a custom set of bi wires for my Vapor Joule Blacks. Can't wait for your impressions.

This sounds like "let's make a deal". If that's the case,...

Not the case, Jason... not an accurate assumption...

Jason:
Pete helped me find used cords (he didn't make a dime) and I purchased rebuilt from him.
Never have I had a discount or break (and definitely didn't get anything from my good looks)
and would not want one. You can't expect anybody to stay in business doin things like that.
There are a lot of great guys with fantastic product here and I'm just lucky to know and have
dealt with some. And ya, Pete's one of the good ones.
I would never take advantage of anyone (especially the good ones) and usually I end up screwing myself making sure I don't.

Later
Don

Power cables arrived today and are "cooking". Will hold off making any judgments for a few days. They sure are pretty, though! And flexible!

In a day or two, you are going to be one happy dude!

Give them time as you stated. Lots of wire and dielectric to settle. Do not make judgements until broken in for 200 hours minimum. Welcome to the TWL family.
