Incoming today was my Monosaudio P902 99.998% OFC Copper AC cable as recommended from the Audio&Video Cable Store.

It's a very solid robust cable, thick and pleasing to the eye. IMO it's a solid pearl of a performer, outclassing my (authentic-knockoff) Odin Gold AC cable. Instantly there was something I liked even better about the sound, akin to an even blacker background with even more proper bass and natural character to the treble :). The Odin Gold is now shelved, thanks to this affordable monster of sound, and I think the edge it gives may be related to improved shielding, vs. a sort of wonky / fake shielding of the former.
Although exceptional bass and mids right off the bat, the treble was a bit hot at first, but for me that was evened out with a half width (1") of Silver Faraday Fabric Tape wrapped around the base of the socket only on the power source side, and closest to the power source itself. I tried full and partial wraps of the silver tape on both sides, and just that 1" was my favorite. I also tried blue-tack dots on both sides but that was not preferred. So far I've only tried this into my DDC which is also via a Flux-50 inline power filter after it, but for now ain't movin' this, just let it burn in.
