A question for a friend: are these cords shielded?

It feels like they are to me (for my 4B/9B-SST2) by their stiffness, but they don't say. Thanks.

Good Question ..I would like to know the answer to that myself.

[mitcho]

are most using the stock cords from the box?  I have not tried them as yet.

[Levi]

Normally, there are markings on the cable.

I never use the original cords that came with my Bryston gears or any audio gear in general. 

That's just me.

[1oldguy]

Just pulled the cord out of the box,here's what it says:ROHS Compliant  (ul)  ft2 ta hsing  LF

So Your guess is as good as mine.

[Levi]

Based on the information you have, my guess they are not shielded. 

It's a good cord if you see Volex on it.

[1oldguy]

Wondering if there is such a thing as a reasonably priced shielded power cords?

[Levi]

This is a good power cord.  It has lots of copper and reasonably priced.

Hi Guys,

I got a Nordost Vishnu for my 4Bsst2 and was amazed at the improvement in my system. Bass was deeper, bigger sound stage, less harsh treble, better dynamics. Really pleased with it.

[1oldguy]

Ouch...600 Dollars.

Still I would love to hear them.Fat Chance of that here though.

[khfm865]

I know it is a fair bit to spend and many will think I am crazy but honestly extremely pleased with the results. Would love to hear Valhalla or Brahma but can't afford them. Cheers

Cables are quirky business.

Hi folks

Here is a nice power lead i bought.  http://www.ultralinkcables.com/#/products/compare/AC%20POWER%20CORDS/
I own 4 different brands of cabling Shunyata, Gutwire,ultralink and Blue circle.
These leads are as good as any of them and they are only about $150.00.  For those that want cryogenically treated cables these are very good. They are as good as my shunyata's and they are about 5 times less in cost. My gutwire is a whole different sounding power lead and is hard to catergorize and compare. The platinum one is really nice with the 4bsq and thats where i have it now. If you are looking for power leads those should be considered cuz they are so cheap.

Looks interesting .....Thanks Werd

They make balance ic's also and maybe worth looking into, they are inexpensive too.

[1oldguy]

Weird     I don't think they have their prices listed.Do per chance have a price list from them?
