Apologies Dean,

I emailed said information directly to you, do allow me to check my sent messages, of which I did, but for the sake of it, will place it here | should others be interested?, or not?, here goes:

Hi Dean,

Thanks for reaching out, as it's assuring to know my post aren't going unnoticed, as I've always only felt the desire to write if, and when I felt something was worthy of sharing.

In said case, I own both the Viborg MBU 1501 and MBU 1606 and absolutely love them both, primarily used on either of my current 2 in use integrated amps, one's the Naim Audio SuperNait 3, while the other is a Pathos Acoustics Classic Model One MK ll hybrid based design, where said pure copper 10AWG ( 9.5AWG ) High Current cords allow for a seamless integrated at the very low end..., offering a cleaner | quieter type of overall preservation, that I dare not let them leave our listening space, as I fell everything and I mean everything sonically about the entire system would fall apart. Well..., maybe I'll make one exception being the pure silver IC's shown above, but even then I'm talking a less then $280 pair of cables.

As the Odin Gold was initially purchased to be used on my Denafrips Pontus ll DAC, where as you've noted, it does in fact offers a slightly warmer | richer | creamier | more forgiving nature of which I find very very very musical, in a Cardas Audio sort of way, with better resolution | snap..., here I'd recommend merely replacing its power cord connectors with something like an inexpensive Monosaudio Rhodium plated copper AC Male with one of their un-plated copper type IEC Female, as like a few over on the Cable Asylum, I too believe in-plated copper connectors on both ends might become overly dark, or dull the sense of detailing to much on the overly warm or dull side, as a lack of sparkle can't be anything welcomes in the vital midrange to lower treble areas, without bogging the actual notes to low.

Yet I'd say no matter what?, I've to highly recommend adding a set of the IeGO 8095 pure silver - rhodium plated plugs onto the primary cord intended for your DAC, as this was in fact one of the most current discoveries of which has caused me to not desire changing a single component or cable in my system, once again out of fear of throwing what I now realize is voiced in should a manner of which I'm drawn even further into each | every single recording as if seriously heard anew.

Said power plug connectors:

And by all means, because I know it's coming..., thank me publicly later on.

Also do look into my post on using various plating or un-plated copper banana plugs on either the amp or speaker end of things, it hasn't been takes about very often, yet it seems others including me, have found it to be mind blowing.

Lastly, I've spent the last 5 months buying every brand of AC Male | IEC Female I'd recall, and focused my attention on the ones constructed of copper as it's primary base metal, while I'm not going to knock the Chinese knock off gold plated brass based designed Holoplugs, as to my ears they seriously aren't bad sounding at all.

I hope you're able to read between the lines from my heartfelt description?, as I love using the old X-Files TV Series jargon as it relates to " The Truth Is Out There ", as it always has been, we merely never knew where to look!.
