cable "maintenance". It is real.

Posted by Audiolover718 (A) on April 14, 2015 at 00:26:26

Some of you know that I recently changed out my furutech fi-11 gold males to copper ones. I have a thread about their break-in. The gold IEC ends, stayed put. I had forgotten to progold the new copper males, (as I had done with golds) and it improved the sound, that I orginally thought was lacking sparkle and detai.

Tonight, on an unrelated note, I opened the iec connector, one that had been attached to the cable for a couple of years. I tested the tightness of the screws and found that they had become loose. I was able to get a good quarter turn or slightly more on all three screws.

I didn't think anything of it really, until I fired the system back up and was greated with more clarity speed and resolution. I would not have thought that the less tight connectiom would have that much of an audible effect in the slightest, but it is a very real difference. Color me officially out of my mind.

Edit! MODS- I accidentally posted in wrong forum. Please move to cable asylum. My apologies.
