Ηi.  

 

I received a Farad Super 3 20 days to power the Dac Chord Hugo tt2.  I will say one thing: The difference in performance is significant! 

 

I'm in the process of making a Silver / Gold Mundorf power cord with plugs sent to me by Mattjis.

 

 I will keep you informed about the final result ..

Hi guys.  

 

Today, the DIY Mundorf Gold / Silver cable with Oyaide plug was prepared.  Tomorrow I will connect it to the Farad Super 3 and the Chord Hugo tt2.

 

 I would like to thank Mr.  Mattjis for sending the plugs.

A brief description of how the dc cable is made: mundorf wire silver gold wire was used
https://www.mundorf.com/audio/en/shop/cables/SilverGold,Wire-2x-0,50mm/?card=2817
 one of the best for this application, two per pole, As a dielectric I used a slightly larger duct to take advantage of the air benefits as a dielectric medium Made of red teflon -pvc light,

 The solder I used is Mundorf 9% silver gold

From = list-product & keyword = meter% 20timah% 20solder% 20silver & funnel = omnisearch & product_owner = normal_seller & pos = 2 & cf = 1 & ssa = 1 & sort_origin = relevansi & search_sort_default = true & promoted = 0

 I preferred this solder cause, probably is the most hard solder more than any other.Also gold is the perfect match for silver gold wires.  Because it has 9% silver,

 I also use furutec oyaide wbt cardas wonder solder.  but for this application I think is the perfect choice

 A single twist I gave in the conductors so as not to increase the resistance.

 Τhe formation of the conductors (wire) and the way of gluing them with the plugs in order to get the maximum sound effect of this construction.

Ok, the Orange fuse came and guess what - the Farad "sounds" straight away better! It feeds Wawersa WStreamer with power. It is a simple nice device, Ethernet in, USB out (+ coax). But it supports Airplay so i can use it with Soundcloud and streaming movies, as well as with more audiophile Audirvana player, basically plug&forget.

I only hope the AS Silver Signature will not negate the very positive qualities introduced by the Orange fuse.

Tomorrow I will receive the same fuse and the level 2 cable for my Farad s 3.

I hope I can say the same !!

In case of the level 2 ; it,s a next step; just like a good powercable..

I would like to start with one of the two so that I can understand exactly what one thing does.  

 

How do you think it would be better?  First the orange fuse, or the DC Level 2 cable?

I,ve got 4 Farad3 powersupply,s a long with others. The level 2 cable is very important. With the orange i ‘ve got no experience. I use other ones..Always beware of glass fuses..

Can you tell me what to look out for in glass fuses?

[Varadero xl 1000v]

Better not use them if possible; the better fuses are muffled with ceramic sand. For muting the internal glass fuse. Part of the succesfull working is based on it.

I understand.  I hope the synrgistic recearch orange meets this condition.  You are talking about common glass fuses if I understand correctly ..

You were right!  From noon I listen to orange in farad super 3.

The difference is absolutely noticeable.  But I want time to evaluate it more.

 

 But I think it was worth the money ..

[Varadero xl 1000v]

I'm right at the moment!  I'm wondering if the DC cable should be copper, or silver, as I was mistakenly sent a power cord instead of DC.  Do I prefer copper guys?

[Varadero xl 1000v]

I prefer a good solid copper level 2 cable and a good Powercable. Have fun.

Thank you very much.  I will order this!

[Varadero xl 1000v]

yes probly Level 2 copper DC cable.
 

Just that!

I will mention that the Level 2 copper is a nice step up from the free one that comes with a Super3.  The Audio Sensibility Signature Silver was a nice step up from that on my Chord Hugo TT2, but it took a few weeks for me to be amazed as it needed to burn off the last bit of evidence of itself.  
 

The power cord really matters too with the Super3.

I ordered it, and on Friday I hope to have it.  What impressed me is the Synergistic scratch orange fuse.  I thought it would not give an upgrade, but it did not!  It helped a lot!  The sound is better.  

 

It is not snake oil ..

I tried the audiosensibility signature silver dc cable (2 pieces) for about 2.5 weeks in my system, from Farad Super 3 to SOTM sms200ultraneo and snh10g. i sent them back eventually because they never seemed to settle down and i was getting some harshness and brightness in my system. this was coming from gotham dc cables from ghent audio. \

 

in contrast, i soon tried a Farad L2 silver cable on my streamer and it sounded fantastic to me. ended up ordering 3 more for my ER, SU-6 and sotm switch. the L2 silver made the system sound so full and realistic to me. i have not looked back since.

 

not to knock on Audiosensibility products. just saying it may be down to system synergy and preference. i recently received a set of their statement silver RCA cables and they sound amazing.

Do you mean the level 2 DC copper cable, or silver Farad?

Mine should arrive these days.

How is your Orange fuse going on?
For me it is really like they wrote, it is changing sound permanently..now after more than a week, it starts to sound open and clear suddenly...present. Suddenly like i don't need level 2 cable :D
 

Today I received the following shown in the photo 1.

 

The orange fuse was installed on Streamer Auralic G 1. I will listen for several days, and then I will put the level 2 cable. Finally I will change the iec of farad with furutec.  Indeed, the orange in farad sounds very nice!  What impresses me the most is the volume of the sound!  Music has finally acquired a "body".  

This prompted me to buy one more for Streamer (Photo 2) ..

But you already have Orange in Farad?
For the Orange you need couple of weeks :D or 2 weeks.

Is changing the IEC in Farad easy??

For me it sounds almost like i dont need Level 2 cable, as the Orange fuse is completing burning in slowly!

Yes, I have in farad.  Today I also put it in the streamer.  

 

Depending on its performance, I might as well put orange on my Mcintosh MA 7900 amplifier. For level 2 cable, discard the feedback when I use it.  

 

Yes, it's easy, a technician can do it easily.

[Varadero xl 1000v]

I have not yet installed it on the lpsu Farad.  I just installed the level 2 cable today and now I have to wait about 100-150 hours to see the results.  

 

When I'm done with that, then I'll put the iec furutec ..

I think time is short!😀

[Varadero xl 1000v]

Good morning.

 

 After removing the black cover of the Farad power suply, with a test screwdriver, and after connecting the device to the socket, find out which of the two bases the light is on.  On this base should be placed the side that has the "S".  This is the right way to place .

 

Be very careful with the current!  Great attention!

[Varadero xl 1000v]

Ok!  Follow the procedure Mattijs told you!

[Varadero xl 1000v]

I bought the copper versions, and I can say that they are very good.  I was afraid of silver. A.C. power 220 - 240v, and D.C. Cable level 2..

[Varadero xl 1000v]

I am waiting for your sound impressions ..

Difficult to express feelings when English is not my language.
First impression hot, rather cold, of the installation of the FARAD on my etherregen.
just an hour after the FARAD was turned on.
From the start I felt a different feeling when listening to my test playlist.
My first word is some opening up of the soundstage (more open bass and detailed high frequency). I think I am not mistaken. My clock is also burning in etc .....
I have the impression that "the sound level" is "lower" and I can go up two or three notches more than my usual volume without the sound invading me

I'm going to let it all burn in. The power cable, SR orange, Farad .. everything is new. It has to fall into place.

The aesthetics of the FARAD is pretty even if I prefer the jewel JS2 Uptone Audio. A black JS2 would be a desire for me.

Glad to hear.  It will definitely take several hours for you to see the true performance of everything you bought! -
