Hello guys !
 
you find it necessary to make a custom power cable for Asgard 1?

I thought of using this cable: http://www.lunashops.com/goods.php?id=3146
 
was wondering if someone switched the cable and heard a difference :)

You may or may not hear a difference but you will never know until you try.  Some people think it does while others don't.  I can say that is a nice experience to have to make a cable for yourself and also very rewarding.

   Just ordered the Furutech FT-735(R) Rhodium plated phone plug from Take Five. Let's find out what is special about this plug. :)

 ​

I have a couple of 4 pin mini xlr's of that line for my audeze's and I have to say they are by far the easiest plug I have worked with.  That includes switchcraft and neutrik plugs as well.  Very solid build quality and very very nice looking.

Yeah that's what I am expecting from this plug - a nice looking and good quality. :)
 
I bought a little bit toxic silver wires a few months ago, so I am going to use this plug and those wires to make a LOD. Then I will be really done with the LOD's. Too many LOD's already. So far my favorite LOD's are the ones made of HGA pure silver with cotton jacketing and also the Mundorf Silver/Gold wires.

On the list of improving your sound quality, Power Cables are at the extreme bottom of that list.

Get the IEM's and forget about Power Cable foolishness unless you have money to burn... :D

Wow, thank you for the picture.

Why do I like those so much? I can already tell that I'm going to cave and eventually try them.

Hi, I was just starting to dive into making my own cable, and I have a fairly simple question
 
I am looking at navships (I heard of him from you guys) shop online for wire, and see 22 AWG wire and 24 AWG wire.
 
22 AWG:
http://www.ebay.com/itm/231134914950?ru=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.ebay.com%2Fsch%2Fm.html%3F_from%3DR40%26_armrs%3D1%26_ssn%3Dnavships%26_sacat%3D0%26_nkw%3D231134914950%26_rdc%3D1
 
24 AWG:
http://www.ebay.com/itm/25-feet-24-AWG-Black-Shielded-Silver-Teflon-Wire-Coax-/231128224906?pt=US_Audio_Cables_Adapters&hash=item35d050d48a
 
The 24 AWG has shielding though.
 
Will this make a big difference?  Will it not matter?  Which wire is better, or is there an even better wire that I'm not seeing?
 
Thank you guys for your time and knowledge!

Navships is generally is going to be stiff, more so with some offerings. It's made for military use rather than audio.

I still think it can work great depending on what you use it for and mix it with. Some of their opinions are great for ground wires to save money.

As mentioned above, those two have limited use.
