Guest radeon_x1 Posted November 16, 2006 Posted November 16, 2006 Hi there, can anyone here recommend me a pair of powercord for my intergrated amp and CDP? Any possibility to get both for $100 bucks? Just want to have an inexpensive upgrade to my exisiting stock cord. Thanks for your help
benzx Posted November 17, 2006 Posted November 17, 2006 Usual place..... LHS at Sim Lim Tower. Should be able to get you two belden pc within budget. Unless you need very long ones ;D
SiriuslyCold Posted November 17, 2006 Posted November 17, 2006 check this thread at Echoloft keep an eye out for Belden cable model numbers
Guest radeon_x1 Posted November 30, 2006 Posted November 30, 2006 check this thread at Echoloft keep an eye out for Belden cable model numbers Thanks bro, thanks for the link....... My amp and CDP is now is on belden cabling. Forgotten the model, the amp cabling is kinda thick and the CDP is using a think white cabling as powercord. Seen to realize the bass had better extention now......hmmmm :D

ckng Posted December 6, 2006 Posted December 6, 2006 Just curious, how much you spend on DIY? where did you get the plugs? interested to DIY myself too. Thanks! Belden 19364 @ $10/m (probably the black one in the pic) Shurter IEC @ ~$6 MK Plug @ $10 So for say, a 1.5m cord it'll be $31. Regards CK

LHS ppl told me is belden lor but just couldn't find the brand name on it ??? Some dont have but there should be some model indication there. WHy dont you post whats written on the cable.
maxngck Posted December 9, 2006 Posted December 9, 2006 hi! this is what written on the cable: 14-3 SJT 60C (UL) E3462 ---- CSA LL7874-M 14-3 SJT 60C FT2 ---- SHIELDED ROHS 2FG funny rite ??? am i being conned :'(
SiriuslyCold Posted December 9, 2006 Posted December 9, 2006 you're being conned if the cable has "shunyata", "golden fleece" or "monster" on it ;D

A search on the Internet on these codes reveal that it is indeed real Belden. Dunno why they did not print their name or model on it tho. Regards CK
Kopi Posted December 9, 2006 Posted December 9, 2006 you're being conned if the cable has "shunyata", "golden fleece" or "monster" on it ;D Why do you say that? So all those hundred of thousands of guys out there who bought "branded" cables are conned!! I am sure shops like NBS, Cardas, Audioquest, Nordost will fall into that category too. ;D
maxngck Posted December 9, 2006 Posted December 9, 2006 you're being conned if the cable has "shunyata", "golden fleece" or "monster" on it ;D cant find any other marking on it liao ???

Dunno why they did not print their name or model on it tho. Regards CK mayb it is made by Belden's OEM lor. since u found in the net so it shld b ok lah. coz when i bought i saw on 19364 on the roll.
void1624705836 Posted December 9, 2006 Posted December 9, 2006 Just curious, is there any soldering involved for powercords using iec? Or just some screws?
maxngck Posted December 9, 2006 Posted December 9, 2006 Just curious, is there any soldering involved for powercords using iec? Or just some screws? no soldering at all. just simply screws ;D but 1 thing to tk note when u get the iec. the back part of iec (wattgate, other brand not sure) is actually very big which i din notice. when i reach hm and try to connect it to my lcd, it seem like cant fully insert the plug into the lcd coz being blk by the back of iec. now on and off hv it chk it as i swivel my tv quite often
