For a new DAC, the cable length is 4m. The cable runs in parallel with a multitude of signal screened cables to a power distributor. Not worried about steady induction/magnetic field too much but the possibility of voltage spike and causing that splat noise through the speaker I wish to avoid.
I have several shorter cables, but the IEC male connector physically can accept IIRC 6mm diameter, screened 12 AWG is something doubling that. Cannot join a flexible cord, it’s illegal. Using another power strip breaks the continuity of the shield and is another point of failure and connection point.
All other power cables are screened, so this new one won’t be any different.
As for brands, Furutech make a great 12 AWG cable, the local distributor needs to buy a 100m reel, unless the demand is there, not going to stock. Tried a foreign country seller, and regretfully cannot supply when the payment is in another country’s currency, even PayPal.
There’s industrial cable to buy, but minimum length is 30m and close to $1200 for the reel plus shipping 20kg.
Its possible for me to buy Sonic cables, their SPC is 10g, red and $40/ft. The smaller diameter cables are plain copper, where I live, copper oxidises , so prefer the SPC , that doesn’t tarnish.
The plugs and sockets already have, Oyaide C-079 and P-079e, which can accept a cable to 17mm diameter, apart from the fitting off, that is OK.
Does anyone know of a DIY bulk cable available in short lengths, 12AWG, rated for 600V, SPC and screened. Delivery point is FL USA.
