I have some here and like it at least as well as the Western Electric and Duelund tinned copper wire I also have here. The machine twist is nice and it comes in both 16awg and 12awg - good stuff and good people to deal with.

Joe,
Is that the Xangsane XS-950 ?
I preferred these on "source" components.Especially,digital transport/dac set-up.
Dependent on dac,either the sterling silver or silver-plated (950/Grey Knight 6008 or ODIN 2).
No, that came from the HIFI Audio Product Store and is described as "New 5N OCC single crystal US & EU AC Audiophile audio amplifier DAC filter HIFI silver Power cable rhodium plating plug" and has already gone up in price. I paid $36 for a 1.5M length which now costs $45. It may have been on sale when I got it or perhaps it was introductory pricing. In either case it's still quite inexpensive.
I have since moved it to my modem/router that doesn't seem all that sensitive to power cord changes in terms of "sound" and upload/download speeds.
The Accuphase 40th Anniversary is now on my integrated amp and the rest of the power cords are Odin 2 Silver. As you said it seems like a good match in terms of balancing out the brighter "silver" power cords. The tribraid cord sounded the most like a little less "sparkly" Odin 2 Silver. The 17AWG Odin Gold power cord that I have goes into and out of service and is the closest to the Accuphase in terms of a warmer presentation. I find the Odin Gold seems to work best on my DAC.

Joe, good 411. Where did you find the Odin Gold Coax? I have Odin 2 silver but think it's a bit on the bright side. I replaced my Odin 2 XLR and speaker cable with Gold, but have been searching for Gold coax for over a year
Unfortunately I had to move on from the Gold interconnects. I got a new preamp and the cables caused a hum but I'm still sticking with the Gold speaker cables
The Odin Gold cable that I was referring to that seems to work well on my DAC is the Odin Gold power cord. Like you, I've never found an Odin Gold coax cable just the speaker cable and the power cord.
Joe
Same discovery here. Odin Gold PC on my Denafrips Ares is the ticket :)
Then an Odin Gold XLR from DAC to pre-amp completes the package.
