Hi Rhodium,A big thank you Blackmorec for your wise and thoughtful advice.
I read your developments about the Phoenix Net, always very detailed, not to mention your literary phrasing when you mention the improvements in sound quality and especially the emotions and the connection with the musical work that they generate ... .
Given the extensive optimization, implemented before bringing the PN into play, there is no doubt about the quality of this device, which, moreover, is designed in-house from A to Z, with the same attentions as the Statement (and common elements). Being zero in computer science, with a system comprising a significant number of devices, the concept of all in one is also a major asset for me.
If I understood the diagram of your system, the PN is only connected at the output, to your Statement, is that it?
Thanks also to Carcrashboy for submitting an alternative to Chord cables, which nobody knows much about, in fact (other than the price).
The fact that your cables have been designed by Sean Jacobs himself, who is perfectly familiar with the Statement's power supply diagram, is an undeniable pledge of confidence.
Did you choose the nature of the material and the Mundorf brand or was it Sean Jacobs who advised you?
Would it be too intrusive to ask you their price before tax?
I guess I can easily apply for him through his website; man is reactive?
(English by google translate, sorry)
I had discussed with Nuno Vitorino, who owns Innuos, Sean’s involvement and designing the power supplies for the Statement and other models, so when I read about the Chord cables I thought I would contact Sean. Sean had just been asked to make a prototype pair of umbilical cables for a customer, so I waited for feedback, which was positive, and then placed my order. Sean is very easy to deal with and very responsive to emails.
As these cables are not on a price list I think it better to discuss costs with Sean.
