I have so many good things about Chris' stuff. I need a good cable for my Audio Research PH3SE. Anyone could guide me on this?
I'm in the process of modding it. John in Vinyl Asylum is guiding me on this. Tubes will be first, but ... the foundation has to be correct, thus, a proper power cable.What does cryo-ing do? Really worth the extra money? And all these fancy Marinco and Furutec and wattgate etc ... do they REALLY make a difference. I am seeking your guidance to get it right the first time as I live in SIngapore. I'd prefer not to have to return the cableso first time home run would be good.
Should I get his power strip too? Which one ...please..I would need 2, one for the power amps and one for the front end.
Follow Ups:
If you need a good powerstrip, The Hot Box is excellent. I have the nickel-plated, cryo'd 15A outlet version feeding my phono stage, TT PSU, CDP, and sub and couldn't be more pleased.I've tried several power conditioners and the Wiremold (Naim) strip, and definitely the prefer the Hot Box. It's dead-quiet with a clean, powerful "sound," and unlike the conditioners, it doesn't squash the music's dynamics in the least.

I've been happy with the power cords I've built with Chris' cable (flavor 2), and I'm finishing building a set of his Pulsar interconnects. He ships quick, is very helpful, a pleasure to do business with.

If your system is revealling enough and dialed in, you will notice the difference. I have tried Flavor 4 with and without Gold Wattgate's and there is an improvement, especially in transports. There is less glare and more clarity. I have not compared gold with rhodium--however, my transport uses a rhodium plated Furutech IEC Chris sold me.

I own several of Chris's PC all cryo treated with Furutech gold connectors.I also own many of his Pulsar cryo treated IC's.
All great products @ very good price points.
I suggest you email Chris and talk directly to him about your questions. He wont steer you wrong and I believe that he has a money back guarantee.

I agree. If you have any doubts you should email Chris at VH Audio. He will be glad to answer any questions that may be of concern to you.I have built DIY VH Audio interconnects and power cords and use VH Audio wire for projects and the new oil capacitors. Highly recommended.
Hey, Jag,
I own a Flavor 4, Cro'd, with Furutech Rhodium ends. The thing is marvelous. It has out performed numerous other cords all the way from ones I have made myself, through DH Labs, Cardas, Moon Audio, LAT.Several of the cords mentioned above worked well, but when I fully broke in the flavor4 and compared the sound, the VH Audio cable delivered quicker, fuller, more pleasant sound than the others.
I recommend two things. VH Audio and Chris VenHaus. Excellent product and superior customer service.
Oh, BTW, make sure you follow Chris' instructions on burning in the cable. Get an adaptor and run it hard for at least 200 hours by powering a refrigerator or other high wattage draw.
