Interesting Stuff I Found

Power Upgrades
Author Last Post

I recently made some power upgrades that I think will be of interest. I had Triode Wire Labs build a custom umbilical power cable to run from my Modwright phono preamp to its dedicated power supply, as well as a custom Y cable to run from my Jeff Rowland PC1 Power Correction Device that feeds 385 Volts to TWL power chords connected to my Rowland mono amps. This replaced a stock cable. Also added their AES/EBU digital cable from my Aurender N10 to a dCS Bartok.


Highly recommend Triode Wire Labs. Pete makes reasonably priced cables, compared to other manufacturers, that are very musical and coherent sounding with excellent extension from top to bottom.


Next up I ordered upgrade Synergistic Purple fuses for my amps. I had been using Synergistic blue fuses which I acquired a few years ago and was surprised at the significant improvement they made. All the fuses carry a 30 day trial and money back warranty.


I have ordered a new Shunyata Delta Hydra and Sigma XC v2 PC to test as a replacement for my several years old Hydra 8 & Anaconda PC. My plan is to test other Hydra models up to the Denali v2 to determine the relative level of improvement they may make to my system.


I will post my findings about the Hydra models and purple fuses.
