Thanks for chiming in.
Funny you should say that about the Pangea cord. Alan Maher HATED the Pangea cords and always railed against their cheap ends. Maybe that was the problem, bad ends, and your applying the Furus did the trick. Cool!
Thus, if you do not mind, I wanted to know what Furutech ends you employed? I ask because they are my absolute favorite AC terminations to install as well, and I am curious what you liked. I always preferred the plain-Jane FI-11 Cu models, as they ALWAYS gave me the most neutral and natural sounding tonal balance of every type of aftermarket AC connectors I ever tried (Oyaide, Marinco, Wattgate, etc.) AND they were the cheapest of the Furu line, as well, for a real double bonus! (Ooops. I'm not supposed to use exclamation points, as 'excitement' is strictly verboten when describing audio gear and its sonic effects.) ;-)
Another reason I ask is that I decided a while back to remove the stock MSA power cord's AC plug and IEC connector to install the very Furutech ends we are discussing (generally speaking.) It was a VERY nice improvement, but it does add to the cost, of course. Did you try that combo? I found it quite pleasing and a good improvement. Worth the extra cost to me. But the original MSA cords were very nice for the money, at least in my opinion and experience, and they never were 'bad', in any application I tried them in, so they stayed and simply were upgraded with the Furutech ends. Couldn't be happier.
Again, thanks for the post, Dave
