@Coppy I can in some part agree with the recommendation of dCS but if the cable have no ground. I have ground in the AC power supply to the Qsource and i have also ground the dCS in DC power.
I’m also not a fan to mix cables brands, at the end i keep with the Nordost and i use all from the same brand. Already have the Odin 1 power cord to the QB8 and i order all the rest of power cords and XLR Valhalla 2, 2m for the power and 1m for XLR, they arrive Wednesday and it will in the Vidar until 22 of December. The only thing i will not change now is the speaker cable. I like to fell the improvements step by step to see if the cost vs benefits is justify.
In Jan I’ll bring the speaker cable to see the SQ gain and let’s see if i have “balls” to bring the XLR Odin2 and speaker cable. If i go for the Odin2 option I’ll change at least the power cord from the wall also for the Odin2. Lets see how it goes…
So far I’m amazed with the up-grades i did, a big jump in SQ.
