Custom length + 6"

Carol 14 AWG 3C

Wattgate black Cryo connectors (M & F)

Techflex 1/2" Expandable Sleeving

Shrink tubing

The first one took a little time but the other 4 were made fairly fast. Nice looking & no soldering involved with these connectors

NO , I will NOT be doing a blind test :D

Very nice work. I completely understand no test but WOULD like to hear your assessment after listening for a while.:yippy:

Thanks...

You want me to open another can of worms ? :yikes:

Ok , Been listening to Flac -> SBT -> DAC for about an hour & an half since I connected the new power cables.

If anything the music is a bit (i think) smoother across the bandwidth Low to High. Top end may be smoother or not as accented :scratch2: Can't say for sure and I'm not going to dwell on it either :music:

Thought I would update... Recent Power Cables Topic brought me back to this old thread

Added ferrite noise suppressors since

In general I find that a good power cable (proper geometry and well shielded) on digital devices (DACs, CD players, etc) improves digital listening in exactly the way that you have describe. Anyway, they look nice and I'm glad you're enjoying them.

... and was just mentioned yesterday!

Did you notice a difference with the added ferrite noise suppressors?

(Just asking! Not looking for trouble.)
