  • I seek the truth on the FI-50 NCF plug because its so dang expensive, and some of my clients are adamant that they be used even though it adds $800 to the cost of the cable. If I can save them $800 on plugs they can buy another cable instead.

    Sensible people DON''T think that the connectors make a powercord.
    Connected with high quality cable, like Furutech FP So 32N, these plugs make a hell of a cord though.
    And I know, cause I spend two weeks comparing different Furutech cables and plugs.
    The FI-50 really does make a difference. However, if it's worth the price, everybode has to dicide for themself.

Driving a Porsche Clad in Versace and no money in savings or investment. Broke ass bitch , correction, Broke Ass Bitch Poseur, ai yai yai.. well I drove up to a bar and was gettign ready in my head for my "Grande Entrance" since I was so pimped out. I even bought a wallet chain that I just clipped on to the belt loops or something, I didnt use it , but it had the big ass medusa head blinging. The jacket had flames inside, I thought it was because I was devilsihly cool. Looking back I was just a flamer. So I open the door and walk in and people look when I popped the door, then they all just looked down like I am a complete tool, and they were embarrassed for me. Totally opposite of what I thought I could force through my will and some cash.. lol, total Karmactic whiplash , I became very aware in that moment that life had just schooled my ass... lol, got what I deserved.. ouch

      Late response, but, You are correct, they are somehow claiming that a cord, a 6ft piece of wire filters? If logic was applied and assuming a "better" cord did anything it would pass the "noise" more effectively. It gets whats at the wall to the equip. power supply, THAT'S IT. After the power supply the voltage is totally changed AND filtered. This is psychoacoustics soaked in snake oil.

I know so much about electrical distribution that I know it is not possible for a 6 foot power cord to make a difference. A PERFECT cord can only give you exactly what is available at the wall outlet. Either the cord gets it there or it doesn't, and after the power supply it's all the same power available to the amp, that's just how it works. Check out Audioholics video on power cables. Also our brain is capable of making us think we hear a real difference when not there, reality is not "subjective" Hell I just saw 380 dollar cord caps!!!!
