Hi Blake,I have built an AC cord using JPS in-wall cable with P&S AC plug and Furutech gold plated IEC (clam shell type). I broke it in for a month on a dehumidifier. The sound was too soft for my liking. The gold plated IEC is said to be softer sounding. Did you try any other connectors on your cord? I have a Marinco plug and could strip Marinco IEC from my very first 19364 cable. Or I could use Schurter IEC. Did cryoing of the in-wall cable make a big difference?
Regards,

Perhaps it is the Furutech IEC. Personally, I prefer things on the warmer side of neutral (I sold two Cardas Golden power cords which the JPS cords replaced), but I would describe the JPS/Marinco combination as being pretty close to neutral. I have not tried any other connectors with the JPS, just the Marinco 5266 and 320 IEC.The cryoing of the cable and connectors resulted in the same kind of improvements I've had with cryoing speaker cables and interconnects:
1) improved extension in both the low and high end and, at the same time, a reduction of glare and "edge" in the upper midrange & high frequencies
2) a more fleshed out presentation in the midrange and improved information retrieval (ie. more detail) at the same time.
I assume you cryoed the cable after assembly. Where did you send it? It looks you are in Canada like me.Regards,
All my cables have been done at Bayson Heat Treating in London, Ontario.
