Tangram,
This is all becoming very very interesting to say the least, but I'd like to post below several letters I received earlier from Chris ( Kam Audio ) as it relates to plating types and all which I've managed to get a feel for where's he's coming from, and intend to act accordingly as it poses some good line of thinking, here goes.
(1st letter ):
Hi Oscar,
Honesty,
Did you seen expensive Hi End cable use different plating AC and IEC?
Is there something too much from the AC plug, so it needs IEC plug to be repaired and modified?
In my system, AC and IEC are same plating,
Vanguard Copper Silver and Copper Gold
Furutech Copper Rhodium
Wattgate brass silver and brass non plating
(2nd):
Hi Oscar,
Furutech DPS-4.1 with Furutech FI-50 NCF
Acoustic Revive TC1800 with Furutech FI-11R
Harmonic Technology AC10 with Vanguard FI-60
Harmonic Technology OS with Vanguard Gold
DIY solid silver with Vanguard Silver
and some old cables unused...,
Furutech 316Ag II with Furutech FI-15G
Music foundation MAS 50A with Vanguard Silver
Audio note ISIS with wattgate silver
Burmester with wattgate brass non plated
Tara Labs The one with hubbell brass non plated
Furutech AC and IEC sound very good, expect gold plated.
You can try Furutech or Vanguard replace the Viborg
His system is shown above ( seemingly of good quality based components | speakers, as well as his own plugs ) | yet I'm willing to await your findings, as for now my plan is to once again buy a set of plugs, either continuing with a set of his Vanguard FI-60 series of Silver Plated Copper or Rhodium Plated Copper with Carbon Fiber shells AC | IEC?, and be done with this once and for all..., but I did save your Cyko as well as several different makes of the TODN cords into my wishlist, yet I'm going to hold off on the former, until you've given your view on it versus the standard Accuphase version, as there seem to be some differences between the wiring used in both?, but I'm just guessing out loud.
Let the journey continue..., Thanks for offering the follow up.
