Tangram Le' Journey Continues...

Posted by el34eh@yahoo.com (A) on February 8, 2024 at 11:18:34

Hello young man,

I thought that instead of posting on my ( our ) last post where it seems others aren't willing to respond to one way or the others, which doesn't bother me in the least | as usual get quite a few emails from like minded people which tells me others are paying attention to our shared interests | responses between ourselves, and that's what matters.

As I've only ever spotted a few people stating their preference towards silver plated copper power plugs as opposed to rhodium plated ones, mostly over on A'Gon, as well as few other audio forums, where much have mentioned they feel the consumer have been fooled into thinking rhodium plated copper plugs are ones only option..., and upon hearing silver plated plugs have gone this route, and then having manufacturers of said plugs tell me the same thing, seriously got me to rethinking the possibilities, and in truth, I'm glad I did as the other all results are to my mind definitely worth pursuing.

And while I was awaiting several ( a total of 7 pieces all together ) sets of both ac | iec gold plated copper plugs to come in, where I also felt a slightly different sonic flavor of these, as well as silver plated plugs could be switched around enough to where a certain signature using the various brands would bring about a sound where one or the other would ideally be the prefect match for what I'm trying to obtain, as once again in my mind no one size has ever fit all.

If?, and when you get around to listening to the combination of silver and copper, as well as rhodium and gold connectors, I'd be very very interested in knowing your findings, as it is I'm seemingly relevant to take out the tandem of silver plated copper ac male | un-plated copper iec female, but as shown above, said flavors are in-house should curiosity get the best of me.

I've also taken it upon myself to purchase different flavors of the Viborg IEC Inlets ( located in that little silver box in the photo above ) well at least their gold | rhodium plated copper screw down types, of which I plan to use with either of the opposite flavors according to which type of plug ends upon the iec side of three the Accuphase power cords within two different systems?, only then will I feel comfortable knowing what's what?, and instead to stay put..., as I once again have to believe this cord is an absolute bargain | once again as memory serves, easily betters PCs I've owned in the past approaching $800, of late I not longer once again remotely allow myself to be swayed by others BS mentally where one isn't a dedicated | true audiophile unless they're willing to employ out half of their saving or checking accounts, so be it, as I've long considered myself a music lover first type of listener, and only see a well matched and thought out system as a means of enhancing said listening experience to a point where I knew I was engaging | enjoying the manner in which the notes themselves were rendered, as opposed to only hearing very very slight differences as some get chasing more expensive boxes ( electronics ), as I'd far rather have my emotions taken over by the music itself, as I've never been caught upon that shit about measurements | specs | box count or cost, as the only means of gauging the performance of any given piece of gear..., I'm far more interested in how their pieces were put together from a synergistic standpoint, and how well collectively they play together.

I'm more interested in components ability to sit untouched for the long term, as opposed to thinking within, what's next month's purchase?, no I'll leave that one to the ever-chasing confused types, simplifying once system is in itself knowing what works as far a musicality matters, having a system which consist of upwards of 5-10 different pieces placed across a rack doesn't impress me at all, not when my simplified 2-3 pieces of electronics will suffice..., those extra pairs of IC's | or upwards of 3 additional PC's, just added their own signature to the mix, of which I no longer deem vital.

Until next time..., party on Garth, we aren't worthy, says who?.
