Thank you, sir. Most definitely will. Right now just listening to soma (chill) Internet radio playing in the other room as background while I work. Wonderful piece it is. Built like the proverbial tank, too.

Pretty much all of this is new to me, although only the headphones and rack are actually new.

I do have a powercable based on the Powerstrada 302 cable. What are your’e impressions of the 309 type? I believe the 309 variant has more strands and has a larger diameter?

The cable is still bedding in but initial impressions are very positive. Deep bass (almost Sub like), spaciousness and very dynamic.

The detail in the extreme lows is very obvious but so is the openness. The depth and height of the soundstage is very impressive and you get a real sense of the room and the space around the musicians. Double bass has never sounded so real… same with bass guitar. Not just the depth of bass but the texture of the bow moving across the strings. Impressive detail across the board though.

The cable is 13mm. This isn’t as wide as some of the Furtech cables I was looking at but, unlike them this doesn’t have a braid screen to it. I’d read that power cables without screening are normally better for power amps (on the Chord Etude). One advantage of the 13mm (instead of 16mm) is that it is a little more flexible… although it’s still on the firm side once you put on the protective braid outer.

I would certainly buy their cables again on the strength of this one… very impressed.

Edit. One of the other differences over the #308 is a high % of Silver / Gold liquid particles added to the cable I believe.

Got the Vertere X Pulse jumper cables to replace the stock links that came with my speakers… something to play with over the weekend… strange to see them marked L and R !

Woke up this morning & spotted an immaculate 555PSDR on the bay. Fair price. Reputable trader.

You can guess the rest.

Trichord Diablo with NCPSU to replace my 15 year old Dino Mk 1.
Cold out of the box it’s already sounding great.
Listening to Anthem by Toyah that I first had on cassette 40 years ago and I can hear the improvements.
The cymbals at the beginning of ‘I want to be free’ and the drums in ‘Masai Boy’ are notably more extended and better controlled.
Can’t wait for it to run in :slightly_smiling_face:
The high performance power cable is on order too.


Matches quite well with the Violectric V281 too which is a bonus!
I only dusted on Wednesday, honestly.

I’m glad you found a good uplift in sound quality with the Furutech connectors and Nanotech power cable. When I embarked on the journey with power cords last year, the Furutech is on the shortlist but I went with something else instead (Acrolink). I eventually settled down with 2 Acrolink cords. Similarly the improvements the power cords had brought to the system is massive. Basically everything improved, not only the bass. I was really elated with the performance of the Acrolink cords in my system.

The DPS4.1 cable was recommended by my Furutech local dealer and users on forums elsewhere. Strong powerful bass is one of the strengths of this cable. The purple coloured Nanotech looks quite similar to the Furutech dps4.1.

I have a Furutech GTX-D NCF receptacle installed and an NCF booster on the amp. The Furutech stuff really works. At some point of time I may add another NCF booster to the system.
