I'm the kind of person who doesn't believe that a power cable could make a difference until and unless the older one was damaged or very low quality. But your results are encouraging.
Please do let us know the whole chain of equipment.
As mentioned in my earlier post, i made couple more power cables using different connectors.
This one is done using FURUTECH connectors:

Great looking cables, and top class DIY!
I am tempted to fabricate couple of cables for myself... but restricted with my limited DIY skills.
Can you pl guide me?
Thanks

I replaced the power cables of my dac and marantz amp with these lapp cables without any fancy connectors. This has transformed the sound. Its more smooth, bigger soundstage, more easy to listen to and enjoy. More air around notes and music seem to flow better. Must have for any kind of audio setup. Replace all power cords with these inexpensive cables.

Tempted to try diy. Maybe not with these high-end connectors.
Thanks,
Come with all the parts required... will guide you.
These are not so fancy connectors... just basic types.
Try these connectors along with the LAPP cable and see the difference.
To begin with you can try the entry level connectors... there is a huge range available.
Incidentally i completed the last two power cords yesterday... the arrival of new cables took almost 3 weeks.

Do share your impressions whenever you can of :
1 The new cables (Cardass and the other imported one)
2. Do these cables suit the power amps/amps in general more than sources?
3. How do these compare with the Lapp Cable on sources?
4. Previously what kind of changes did you observe when you changed between the various makes of the connectors with the Lapp Cable?
Cheers in advance!!

Used this to replace stock rega cable. I don't find much of a difference, maybe my untrained ears. I will try replacing the dac power Cable and see if that makes a difference.

Trying to attach pics here. It says file too large. Need to minimize it.
