Any Advice for Black Mamba / MPS Hercules Build?

Posted by atkinsonrr on July 23, 2020 at 17:36:35:
Thanks Duster. I am trying to re-tune the system, so I may pick up on your offer of further advice once the new cords bed in.

My sources have been digital for the last 30 years. Only with the recent addition of a top-flight DAC did I realize the degree I had tuned my system down to avoid digital artifacts. And some things were lost in the process. With the new DAC digital harshness is a non-issue. And I'm anxious to get detail, openness and soundstage back. So that is my goal in switching to better power cords.

My next target may be the Duelund tinned copper wire I wired the speakers and crossovers with. If you know of good candidates for this that are full-bodied but also detailed and open with good sound staging, please let me know.
