 My parts came in today and I built a new power cable for my BAT VK-30 preamp.

Neotech NC-P313 Rhodium AC plug
Neotech NC-P303 Rhoduim IEC plug
Neotech NEP-3002 MKIII AC cable.

These are nice quality cable and plugs. Immediately I heard a slightly wider soundstage than my other DIY cable but this one is more quiet due to the shielding it has.

The Plugs are nice and I'm happy with how they made it easy for me to put the cable together. No issues at all. One thing I like that they are a lot less expensive than the Furutech and Oyaide Rhodium plugs.

It now only has 6 hours on it but it's getting better and better by the hour.

I'm glad I purchased these parts from Neotech. Now to build another for the DAC, power amp, and Headphone amp. :)

only I used the Neotech NC-P313 and IEC Gold connectors...

The new Neotech NEP-3002 MKIII AC cable
is amazing sounding and a lot better than Neotech's older power cable versions...
I purchased all my parts from Sonic Craft...

When I finished I put it on the Audiodharma Cable Cooker for five days of conditioning...

 also. After more break in, this cable is really sounding good. I just wonder what it will sound like with another 100 hrs. on it.

I will try Rhodium IEC sockets from Furutech.

You may be able to use the 13/3 gauge Neotech NEP-3003 MK III power cable for your less power hungry gear...

 I went with the smaller cable since it will be for the DAC.

Congrats, Cougar!

I just found this Chinese Neotech ad on this power cable.
It is "7N UPOCC Copper"...

 and I already finished the new cable to the DAC. all I can say is wow! haven't heard anything with this much in improved depth, width, and in quietness since I had the WireWorld power cables back in the early 2000's. I think they were the Eclipse AC power cords. Those were Big cables too.

 Me2.

Ordered some NEP 3003 III cable today.

Will give it a go on a Sonore Rendu (digital renderer).

 Congrats, Cougar... It is an amazing sounding Power Cable...

Give it a couple weeks of play time and it will improve even more...
