Hi all I have a Node with separate LPS as the streamer and use an external DAC via SPDIF at the moment I have built a standard cable to compare to the regular kettle lead. I also have a repurposed Oyaide C029 IEC connector and an MS HD main plug, Ive made up a HF07 4mm^2 cable and wondered if something better for the cable is worth experimenting with. I see a number of interesting cables available and have used Belden 83803 before and found it made a difference but wondered if there are any recommendations from those that might have experimented before ?
In short any insights into good mains cable for a streamer
I use the Naim powerline light for everything that I can. Of course the oroblem with the Node is that it uses the simple figure of eight connection, so not much help there.
I had an old cut down standard Naim cable that I put a figure of 8 connector on. This was definitely the most musical compared to several high street options I tried. I’d start with stock Naim and experiment from there. Very easy if the Node now has a kettle plug. On an LPS I have currently connected to my EE8 I use a stock Naim lead. I’ve tried the cheaper Puritan option but it’s not as musical. Perhaps it does better bass but sounds less engaging and rhythmic.
