Behold! Your blank canvas awaits the palette that is your soul! Paint away, my friend!I will get back to you, right now I am working with a blank canvas. I will use a Gungnir and Freya +, and keep a Bifrost 2 for my smaller rig. Martin Logan powered speakers in that rig as well.
I am traveling now but once I get back home in a few days I can check into that for you. I tend to build power cables to specific lengths.
Amazing system there! I would not need cables too long maybe like 3 foot. Thank you I would appreciate that!I am traveling now but once I get back home in a few days I can check into that for you. I tend to build power cables to specific lengths.
That reminds me - I was at the NY Audio Show and I happen to be in a room when someone was going to get a demo of some expensive power cords. The person lined up 5 cords (TOO MANY!) in increasing price and quality and proceeded to plug them in to the CD player one-by-one and ask the 3 people there "didn't that sound SOOO MUCH BETTER" after each one. And we all looked at each other totally nonplussed. Then they proceeded to explain that changing the cord on the CD makes the LEAST difference and how you should really use this for the amp. GAH!I am traveling now but once I get back home in a few days I can check into that for you. I tend to build power cables to specific lengths.
I know several items I want in the rack but I may have to adjust the shelves to accommodate some gear. It may just be amp, speakers, and CD’s for a few days when I return home.
I like power cords to match and I have so much gear running in my downstairs that I like to shield the cables. I believe in using quality products that hold up well.
I use a cotton based mesh for my cables. Rayon and silk are also good. Think natural materials when you can especially on headphone cables. Purple cables absolutely sounded the best on @bcowen’s cardboard amp even though he swears by green.
Connectors would be the most expensive part IMHO. I was used to dealing with 500 and 1,000 foot spools, anything under 25 feet was considered a sample from some venders. Markertek does sell some cable by the foot.
Acoustically, the room is crying out for a rug (to tie it together).I will get back to you, right now I am working with a blank canvas. I will use a Gungnir and Freya +, and keep a Bifrost 2 for my smaller rig. Martin Logan powered speakers in that rig as well.
I can vouch for the NRG-Y3 on an Asgard 3 (now Lyr 3). The difference was huge.
Yeah...I am not a doubter per se and your cables are gorgeous. It was just such a poorly run demo! And I was really looking to be impressed! But, I guess I get to keep a few more dollars in my wallet for now...I like power cords to match and I have so much gear running in my downstairs that I like to shield the cables.

It is pretty easy to get caught up in hype.
At this point in time I have to be ready to move some boxes of gear into that space using a two wheel cart then the rug will go back down.
I should be sorting through 25 boxes or so.
I am retired but I did run a company that made a lot of custom cables for professional applications so no doubt I am opinionated.
I have run a lot of blind tests and have a pretty good idea where to spend my own money but each to his or her own.
