New B16 Power Cable
« on: 12 Dec 2020, 05:42 pm »
I know there has been much discussion on Danny’s speaker cable options, but I want to share some unsolicited feedback - I had the pleasure of trying one of his new B16 Power Cable builds in a 2M length.

I’m currently using it on my streamer (Cambridge Audio CXN V2) and it exceeded my expectations right out of the gate with no burn in time. It’s replacing a Twinlink Cardas PC of similar cost, and - cliches aside - I’m hearing more depth, weight and nuance from my streamer than ever before. I will be spending a bit of time on my streamer, then try it on my DAC, SACD player and preamp next.

I would encourage those of you interested in power cable options to give one a try.

Good to know! I didn't realize that there were new power cables available. I'll have to look into them once I get all my other projects finished over the next couple months.  :thumb:

"No burn in time?" Are you suggesting that cable has a burn in period? Is that a thing?

Go Furutech or go home.  :lol: Those are quality connectors!

Good power cables can make a world of difference.

My testing procedure was
- listen to around 10-15 mins of music I knew EXTREMELY well
- power down, swap power cables , power up
- repeat the same 10-15 mins of music

you'll hear a difference!


(I'm using another brand cable with the same connectors - I was unaware of these from Danny)

Danny's power cables are fantastic. I am using a few and I highly recommend them.

Just got mine today. I ordered two pair, but supplied my own connectors. These things are beautiful -- the outer cable covering is black and grey with colorful specks. Burning in now...
