Advice on cables needed.
« on: 16 Mar 2006, 07:19 pm »
I have been using 9259 Belden Coaxial as of late... I considered 89259 because it is easier to work with, but I have also read about oxidation problems.

I want some thing that sounds as good, because this stuff is nothing short of amazing. If I attach cheap bananna ends on it from radioshack I loose significant quality is sound.....

and

have been two considerations....

What do you guys think of the

for AC power wire?

Any suggestions are welcome. I plan to use Bullet copper plugs, onto Exodus high copper content RCA jacks.

Parts connextion has...

D.H. Labs BL-1 Silver Sonic 20 awg balanced interconnect cable

and also D.H. labs ST-100 Silver Hybrid Speaker Cable, OFC + silver plated OFC, 14 awg. speaker wire

Percy has...

Canare Star Quad L4E6S that I looked at as well.



Who sells nice IEC chassis mounts with the fuse holders/switch ? I have been trouble finding any that are not the ordinary $1.95 ones.

I've been doing lots of searches for parts as well - came across these at digikey

The combo switch/iec entry/fuse units look to be priced between 8.49 and 11.26

Hi,

Back in the day...when the Audiophile Network was the rage, everyone used DH Labs T-14 speaker cable to create high-end AC power cords.  DH labs manufacturers their own PowerPlus AC cord.  You can buy it in bulk form at any length, add your own watts IEU and Hospital plug...nice. Yeah, Parts Conextion should have a bunch of different brands of cables to test out.

Jeff Dorgay at Tone Audio wrote a nice review about the PowerPlus.
