Super3 - a supercapacitor LPS, by Farad Power Supplies

[crion]

I use Shunyata Alpha V2 power cable with a Super3/Furutech/OrangeFuse/DC 2 Silver cable to a modded Meridian 210 streamer with GX inlet.
I compared a bit with the Furutech DPS 4.1 cables but I settled on the DPS for the Meridian 861V8 digital preamp and the Shunyata Alpha v2 PC on digital sources.

OK, it’s been a little over 50 hrs since I have been able to attach the Farad L2 Silver DC cable to the internal Lumin U2 Mini, attach that to the Farad Super 3 LPS, and power it all up. The Farad was ordered with the SR Purple fuse, so it has roughly 50 hrs on it, too. I know - way fewer hours than everything needs to really open up (I believe the average recommended time is 400-500hrs), but gotta start somewhere.

Very interesting. I've been running Lumin U2 mini with an Uptone JS-2 with a Farad L2 copper cable.

I have a Farad Super 3 L2 silver coming that I will have to try on the Lumin.

Did you ever get a chance to A/B between the Farad silver and copper cables? I’d be curious to hear any insight you heard when possible.

Also, my Farad/L2 Silver/Lumin combo now has plenty of time on them (continuously powered on since my previous post), and the music is everything I could wish for. Of course there are always upgrade possibilities, but I am incredibly pleased with how this combo sounds right now.

L2 silver is definitely brighter. I went back to L2 copper.

Copper is just more listenable for long periods for me.
