Triode Wire Labs $7200 Power Cable, The "Seven Ultra Plus"...
« on: December 22, 2012, 11:50:22 AM »
... not really (the $7200 USD, that is)...    

I have a great customer of mine who wanted the "so-called" best AC connectors in the world and requested the Furutech FI-50 connectors (FI-50M (R) and FI-50 (R)) with my "Seven Plus" wire...

I noticed these Furutech connectors are used on the $7200 Crystal Cable Absolute Dream, voted 2012 AC Power Cord of the Year, by the absolute sound, January 2013 Issue.

A picture of my TWL version of the $7200 power cable!



Cheers,
Pete

Very pretty Pete! Does it sound better than your stock connectors?


AC doesn't allow pics to wander off.

I'll leave that up to my customer to decide if it sounds better. He has several of my "Seven Plus" cords and does a lot of his evaluations with his hi-end headphone rig...

Those connectors are way pricey.   OK, so forget about whether they sound better than your stock connectors, but what did you hear different?  (come on Pete ;-)

I don't doubt that power cord terminations affect SQ (everything does ;-), but I'm curious as to how much so relative to the wire and design in use...

I'm not sure how they sound, but those Furutech sure look purdy.  :thumb:
