In Reply to: RE: Making my source cable more neutral with fi-11(cu) and fi-11 (ag) iec posted by Audiolover718 on April 08, 2015 at 13:25:40
It's likely Furutech's anti-corrosion treatment layer on the blades where they make direct contact with the contacts of the AC outlet are at issue. In regards to the Furutech FI-11M(Cu) AC plugs in my collection, the blades have a bare copper interface with the contacts of the AC outlets, since the AC plugs have been plugged-in and removed countless times over the years. Simply cleaning the bare copper area of the blade with CAIG DeOxit cleaning solution does well to avoid oxidation build-up, while the anti-corrosion treatment layer protects the rest of the blade that does not make direct contact with the AC outlet contact. You might consider further gentle removal of the anti-corrosion treatment layer on the rather small area at the tip of the blade that makes direct contact with the AC outlet contact.

Thanks duster,
Do you have any experience with furutech bulk cable, i.e. The alpha 3? I want to stay unshielded, (I've taken off all the shielding of the 83803) and I've read that the tinned copper doesn't really help the sound. Would this be a signifcant upgrade over the belden? It sure as hell is more expensive......I can always get the silver iec down the line as well. Just brainstorming.
Thanks
I built a Furutech FP-Alpha 3 power cord terminated with Furutech FI-11M(Cu) AC plug and FI-11(Ag) IEC connector for a fellow inmate, and liked what I heard when placed on a power amplifier. It's been advised that the FP-Alpha 3 is best suited for power amplification or power line distributor/conditioner applications rather than source components.
