Can anyone recommend good DC cables on AliX?

Haven't tried anything else so I can't compare but I got this one for my LPS, big improvement over the stock dc cable.

Absolute must try tweak to greatly improve the performance of your audio system!

Aside the digital scale I used for measuring, this tweak has nothing to do with Aliexpress. But the tweak is so good, inexpensive and easy to implement I wanted to make sure you guys are aware of it. I posted the tweak on the DIY Ground Box thread and will include a link to the complete DIY. There is no retail solution available that I am aware of and have never heard of anyone doing what is in the DIY.

The tweak is to systematically absorb EMI from your AC line home wiring. The performance gains are outstanding, well beyond replacing cables or even what a high end AC line conditioner can provide. For about $20 for materials! The DIY also explains how to tune your system tonally, presentation weight and bass slam. This DIY tweak will make your system more resolving.

How much of your home have you treated?

About half, I've run out of Rochelle salt until more arrives next week.

The Audiocrast DC cable is in silver, and the GhentAudio is in copper.

Thank you @greenblured and @dougms3 ,
I ordered a couple of the Audiocrast cables and a couple of these Xangsane DC cables to try as well:

Does anyone recommend using footers under tables that rest on carpet? My entire Hi-Fi rig table including separate wooden ground box table both sit on standard thick carpet. If so, let me know your suggestions on which ones to try out.

 

[DecentLevi]

Adding to my post above - all of my components including ground boxes already have various types of shock absorption footing, so unsure if adding more underneath the ground box table would help or not. However footing underneath my main rig table may not work, being that the table happens to be very tightly wedged between the wall and a shelf. It's tight-fitting like a sardine, and there is literally less -0 free space on the sides unless I cut a hole in the wall. So, assuming the force on the sides of the table may negate any effect of having footing underneath.

I like the cables from xangsane. Their 4n silver cable is good for the price

Second the xangsane but it depends on the budget.

I received the Audiocrast cables. They are good.
I also ordered these Xangsane DC cables, and they are excellent:

Do you feel the Xangsane presents a noticeable improvement in SQ vs the Audiocrast?

I have had the immense pleasure of outfitting my entire DC cable path with the handcrafted works of Darren Chan in Singapore. I've been on your same route trying the biggest and best from Ghent Audio and others, but Darren's DC cables (also headphone and RCA cables) never fail to deliver an impeccable and linear sound with zero faults. Here was a recent DC cable I got with special terminations, and his design which is KYAN (Starquad Mod).



It costs only about $108, fast shipping and looks even better than the photos. You can contact Darren Chan from his website: https://arctand.com/

It consistently bests all of these that came before it:​
