Simply wonderful post here, amandarae;

And one I've seemingly overlooked | thank you Mick for having bought it to my attention. As you've gone far beyond any of us past posters in actually taken the time to fry ( cook ) your cables as a means of speeding up their bun in process | which Mick has been in my ears about buying a Fry Baby, but I didn't take him ( them ) seriously enough until now reading your post.

As I've told anyone within splitting ( I know that sounded rather nasty, but it's merely an attempt at graining street credibility with the homies ) distance that uses a USB Cable?, as it was upon my initial introduction to these cables | which so impressed me and literally forced me to say within | I've to get as many of their other cables before mentioning them on any forum | as they've been times where in the part I've shared say my favorite tubes or cables | isolation footers and so on with others and watched as either supplies dried up all together?, or began to increase in price.

Yet even still, in trying to turn a friend onto a power cord | pair of IC's here and there..., I've come to realize there are still about 3 cables I need myself, so of late I've began focusing my attention to buying these exact same cables for a second time | yet from what I hear from them, seems to make it as Mr. Spook would say a logical observation.

And while I was told..., by another party here, that the Odin 2 power cord was the only one worthy pursing | as the Gold version has to many conductors to properly be re-terminated with well selected AC | IEC Connectors, which in fact are capable of altering the sonic signature of any given signal cable, as a means of voicing it by ear to suit one's system | ears, hence the plating of said connectors, namely pure or red copper | as well as rhodium goes very long ways in off setting the signature of silver plated copper, whether one is trying to correct the balance of a somewhat rounded | creamier presentation?, or changing the sound of one which comes across as slightly toward, by the use of said pure or red copper connectors, be they RCA | Binding Post | Banana Plugs | Spares | AC | IEC plugs or inlets on ones amp, for the latter..., it's all about all of us knowing " our sound " ( of which might strike you as a surprise?, but a lot of people don't have a clue on what they're listening to or for, hence more confusion ) | understanding what's needed to bring about such a sense of balance | beauty | timbre accuracy | tonality, that we no longer listen to the gear ( boxes | components ) yet find ourselves absorbed into the musical reproduction of a finely voiced system, we find ourselves buying more and more music | which is why all of us are here, in search of the Absolute Sound | which in itself as far as producing the scale | dynamic capability of a live event within one's home, is or should be truthfully viewed as an absolute illusion.

Nuff Said..., now back to the only show in town | reality.
And proud the Odin Gold Power Cord is suitable to have its connectors changed ( from the photo I'll drop above, it seems like a easy enough task to me ):

Thanks again, amandarae.
I'm just one of those long winded types, especially when it comes to stereo, and more importantly music ( with a emphasis on acoustic jazz) | where I can chat upon for hours and hours on end.

Be well | Stay safe.
