RE: Anybody tried the "Accuphase 40th Anniversary" cables on AliExpress?





Here's what one of the young men over on the Head-Fi site had to say on various cables | you'll note he mentions said Accuphase based cloned power cord:

I'll jump in here with my observations as a longtime follower of this thread. @dougms3 is on the money in his post - the Odin Golds are an excellent place to start and offer incredible value. They do vary, but my (successful) approach has been to stick to well reviewed items from popular sellers. I am a fan of the audioConnector store and bought my Odin ICs from them here: https://www.aliexpress.us/item/3256...tewayAdapt=glo2usa4itemAdapt&_randl_shipto=US

For what it's worth, in my system the Odin Gold ICs were beaten (only just) by a pair of Tara Labs RSC Vector ICs bought here: https://www.aliexpress.us/item/3256...tewayAdapt=glo2usa4itemAdapt&_randl_shipto=US. They offered a smidgeon better insight, clarity and a wider soundstage, at the expense of a touch of the warmth of the Odins. Fantastic cables overall.

On power cables, the "gold star" as far as many are concerned goes to the Odin Gold, of which there are also a number of variants. I bought mine from Getwire on the back of good experiences in this thread: https://www.aliexpress.us/item/3256...tewayAdapt=glo2usa4itemAdapt&_randl_shipto=US. I haven't received mine yet, but have had incredible success with an Accuphase clone that has had a lot of coverage in the Australian forums: https://www.aliexpress.us/item/3256...tewayAdapt=glo2usa4itemAdapt&_randl_shipto=US. Can't wait to compare the two, but the Accuphase will be tough to beat.

It makes me wonder just how many undiscovered but incredible cables are available on AE but have yet to have their limelight. Count me addicted.
