In Reply to: RE: Accuphase Chinese Power Cord - Does This Look Familiar? posted by el34eh@yahoo.com on February 09, 2023 at 08:13:05
Received this morning, interesting that the shielding is weaved in on the outside of the sheathing, I did not realise this before, very cool.
Swapped out a Odin silver with pure silver copper colour plugs which have been in place for some eighteen months, on my allnic phono stage.
I was expecting it to sound rather closed in as many new power chords do. Not this one! I agree with everything said, the musical expression, speed, and timbre is superb, such rightness.
I will try these with the pure silver plugs once I have got acclimatised to these.
SUCH FUN!
Thanks all especially EL34.😁

Tangram,
That's great news | as I was beginning to think I was losing both my hearing and mind.
Yet upon hearing this cord once again | caused me to sell off 2 of the Odin 2 | 1 Odin Gold PCs | 1 pair each of the Odin 2 | Odin Gold ICs as well as their stablemate balanced pairs of said Odin 2 | Odin Gold IC's | 2 USB Cables ( Odin 2 | Odin Gold ), yet I held onto a pair of 3.5M Valhalla 2 SCs | 2 of their Odin 2 USB Cables.
And once again awaiting the Monosaudio P902 PC to be shipped from Illinois, as there are times where packages seem to sit there longer than needed.
Yet Tangram..., might I ask about said brand | model of the silver plated copper power plug connectors you're referring to?, as I broke down and purchased singles of the IeGO 8065 Silver Plated Copper IEC Female | IeGO 8095 Pure Silver - Rhodium Plated AC Male, as per said playing around with different types of plating on both ends of any given PC, in hopes of combining their strengths while offsetting their weaknesses.
And may still spring for one pair of the Xangsane Sterling Silver IC's | matching USB Cables, as I see both affordable enough to what to know what's to them both?, and loving this newfound discovery in the Chinese made cabling regardless of what some might think.
Freedom of choice goes a long ways.
And lastly | you're more than welcome.

They are copper colour, see link, a good price too in comparison, I will retain the accuphase outer shells and replace the blade housing with the pure silver ones in a few days and report back.

BTW the machinery to produce the outer accuphase sheathing must be something else and different to what other brands being produced. I don't know how it's worth it for them, crazy world !
Thanks,
Weird thing is | I've an ad for a few power plug connectors shown here:
https://www.audioasylumtrader.com/ca/listing/Accessory/Monosaudio_CopperColour_IeGO-Power/Rhodium-Copper-Silver-AC_IEC/Power-Plugs/224780
But decided to pursue the ones mentioned earlier | as well as singles of both the SonarQuest Silver Plated Copper AC Male ( due to the fact a member over on A'Gon mentioned comparing its plating to both Vanguard | Viborg and saw it offers heavier plating | as well as their Un-Plated Copper IEC Female ) both finished in the dark housing, as the black ones bore the hell out of me.
Like you.., I'll be removing the blades from said makes | place one set into the Viborg Aluminum housing | another into the Monosaudio M | F109R Nylon | Fiberglass housing and chill, as you've noted the Accuphase housing is beautifully built | as is the outer jacketing | those little gray and copper dots makes it retro in a rather nostalgic 60s sort of way.
Like minded people | when given time connect the dots | do we not?. I'll be awaiting your modification on said plugs | housing.
Thanks again.
O_o scar
Yes will do. This is the next item arriving.

Thanks once again.And the kids over on Head-Fi have been raving about this clone Furutech Flux-50, I think it's called?, for like 3-4 months now, many found it to be very effective.
I would like to ask, what type of differences did you hear going from the stock gold plated brass connectors on the Odin 2, upon replacing them with the silver plated copper " CopperColour "'red copper versions?, as I read into it many seem to be moving away from gold plated anything | and either have moved onto un-plated copper | silver or rhodium plated copper, yet even with the latter some seem reluctant to use it, any chance you'd offer a somewhat in-depth description on said differences sonically speaking in your experiences in this?
One of the very last areas I'm looking to pursue is grounding boxes | of which will be taken care of by next week ( hint | hint ) the clue resides in my posted photo.

I will have a look over there then, talking of grounding boxes, this is the one I preferred and using.
Very very very nice indeed.
It seems you're on this matter as well, way to go guy.
