In Reply to: RE: Tangram Le' Journey Continues... posted by Tangram on March 12, 2024 at 04:20:03
I didn't truthfully understand why I was told this either?, yet a part of me is thinking the both pure silver | raw copper at least used as IEC plugs might be harder to clean ( polish ) their surface areas as they're internally within the casing?. My one regret was not saving this individuals note on this, or asking for more clarification.I'm also trying to in hindsight avoid the harder hitting sound of having used a silver plated power cord with those IeGO 8095 Pure Silver - Rhodium Plated plugs on both ends, as nice as it sounded, that was a edge added to the leading notes which sprang outwards from the tweeters in a very very profound manner, which in fact sounded rather nice when said cord in question was used on either an Aurender X100L Music Server or a Denafrips Pontus ll, but as both to my ears offered a slightly warmer | more laidback presentation than the more upbeat and harder hitting EverSolo DMP-A6, having this extra sense of detailing to my ears merely took things to the extreme.
While I once again loved said components as used together ( both have long been sold in favor of the standalone EverSolo, which sound best fits my needs ) said silver plated cord, and earlier on a NearEAST Odin Gold were used on the Aurender, yet it wasn't until I placed the Accuphase pure copper cord on it, that I began hearing something different enough to love it as it stood, yet thanks again to you | several others I finally tried silver plated copper | un-plated copper which merely offers me the sound I've always craved without knowing it..., so once again as no one size fits all, I've to go with the shoe | gloves | clothing size which is comfortable for me, otherwise this quest would never end.
In this regards, I've to go by what I hear, as well as on which component I'm ideally trying to use said cord on as a means of offering just the right balance sonically, on another slightly more relaxed component, I'm certain pure silver connectors of all sorts might preform better?, as your main electronics are tube based I've to assume?, whereas my main 2 integrated amps are either solid state, or a hybrid type where added detailing would in fact take things to far towards the bright more analytical side of the audio spectrum, which I'd rather avoid.
Just trying my best to use common logic ( sense ) on what sounds | feels best in my particular means of voicing said individual components according to their prescriptive sound, as one type of power cord type, or plating of its plugs works on every component quite the same, which has to be again addressed by ear, no?.

I just use the slim cotton pipe cleaners for iec,female xlr etc, once the end of the pipe cleaner is dirty then twist it back and forth to break it off and keep on using until it becomes too short where by you use a new one. I must admit I do enjoy cleaning connectors and know they are pristine again.
Let's see what your ears hear once your CC silver plug arrives and installs.
This mornings listening session has revealed a bigger soundstage with more attack, it's definitely opened up more now. Thats approx 150hrs now, Iam still on digital and loving it with all silver Copper Color except a plated iec into my balanced transformer. I will likely be ordering another CC iec to complete an all unplated silver installation.
What I need to do next is to hear what's going on by changing out a double rhodium receptacle in my Xangsane blue power receptacle to even the gold plated one or whatever, however no rush to do so yet for a couple of months.
That's a great method of cleaning, of which makes sense.
Yet I'll hold off for now as to using a pure silver iec, as once again I've to concerned in how the finale results come together collectively, as I'd rather avoid an overly emphasized top end, which is why I've come to like the flavors I already have, yet whom knows what the future holds?, so I'm not totally blind to the possibilities, just not in the particular placement.
I'll continue to await your findings on things as they progress | read into each post accordingly before acting upon said future endeavors | but never being one to say never, let's see where this goes?.
"An overly emphasised top end" " Eh " he's not heard unplated silver yet .
I'm done with any platings of any kind on my AC and IEC connectors ! IMHO unplated silver is in another world entirely as Iam listening further today confirms this with approximately 170 hrs on the latest purchase.
I'm looking forward to installing the AC Male, which via USPS | 17 Track shows it's down the road a bit in Illinois, so I've to assume it'll be here before the weekend.
Once again I'm open minded enough to have always loved diversity | change for the sake of knowing said truths.
Hi EL,
Getting ready for the swap-a-rooski on the male end. Gonna order a copper iec later today. I have a Furu silver iec, but I will try the copper one first.
I like the way you sign off using the BIG O...-Makes me think of Ocsar Robinson!!
Thank you kind sir for your posts!!
Tangram,
Going through this adventure together seemingly as one has indeed become something in which I look forward to, as you do offer me hope in keeping things like plugs done within reason, as I'm simply not trying to go backwards with those $800-$1359 IC's | $3000 SCs | $800 PCs, not when as you noted before I too am certain a long of the latter are merely $40-$60 PCs, where as you stated once the bling connectors are placed onto them, all of a sudden their asking price increases, if only more people as I've, pulled back the techflex on a lot of these cables | cords, where very seldom a claimed cable manufacturer pays enough attention to actually removing or covering up the OEM name or markings, hence my reason for having sold off 3 different pairs of tin plated copper SCs which cost $510 pair, whereas they were replaced with a very very very similar pair made in China ( of all places, how dare they make something that looks actually like those three costlier brands, eludes me " yeah right " ) live | learn | never be taken again I'd say.
As always I'm all ears | eyes on your findings, and indeed think I'm bold enough to follow suit, in the end it isn't as if I've to sell off body parts or pimp off the wife to buy said connectors, yet once again I just can't justify buying $300-$700 plugs for said Accuphase cord, so I'll be stopping or shopping within the $80-$120 per plug price range | even than as we've both noticed, I don't see any of the so-called big boys even offering pure silver power plug connectors.
And while I was very very athletic in my youth, standing 6' 6" tall, and weighing a very solid 245lbs on average between the ages of 13-45, ( where these days as weighed yesterday at the doctors office, 275lbs, still seems to stop guys from feeling the need to walk upon me while the wife and I are out for a stroll, shit..., visions of myself in the mirror scares me as well, my Mother refers to me as Baby Shaq, of course I don't see any sort of resemblance, so I tend to play it off, but underneath am chuckling ) and was the type that always seems to know how to go after rebounds, as excelled at sports, and regret not being in the right place, or time to have been discovered by some scout, as I know it, there are plenty of young men at the time where I felt were only to become playground legions within our communities, where if placed against a lot of these today's NBA players would put them to shame, many just never had the chance to get out of the hood as the saying goes, as more often than not these same kids dropped out of school and felt obligated to assist their single household Mothers in rearing their younger siblings, I've seen this on at least 17 occasions, where these kids were being offered full ride type scholarships at the ages of 12, but as life had other plans for them, a few even were killed playing ghetto games as the result of thinking carrying around a handgun makes one tough, it's only when the gun isn't within reach, they realize they're victims themselves.
The Big O, was initially intended as a " smiley face " as used with my standard email signature, but said emoji doesn't show here, hence the O_o, where the undercard slash is said smile.
Thanks for catching that by the way, as always I'm all in young fella, let the cards fall where they may?. Till then, Peace.
