calloway,
Thanks, I'll check it out.
Has anyone tried Shunyata? Perhaps the Sigma V2?

Re: Lumin X1 Favorite Power cord?
I have a Shunyata Sigma Digital on my Lumin X1. Works fine, but it is the only power cord I have used on it.

Re: Lumin X1 Favorite Power cord?
I will be using my Nordost Frey 2 when i get my X1 ( currently use it on my T1 ) and i am amazed how much power cords can actually do in a system.

BlueFox,
Is the Sigma Digital still current production?
FDPDK,
Nordost could be an option.

I don't know. I bought it a few years ago.

Re: Lumin X1 Favorite Power cord?
I would image that the umbilical will have a greater impact on sound than the IEC cord.

Re: Lumin X1 Favorite Power cord?
I did read an review ( dont remember where it was ) but i do remember that it stated the Westminster Lab making an umbilical cord that should be pretty good.

Re: Lumin X1 Favorite Power cord?
I'm interested in Audio Sensibility's upgrade but at $1K don't want to throw money away as well. I can use that money for some really nice fishing tackle! Curious of anyone using this upgrade....

Re: Lumin X1 Favorite Power cord?
Thank you calloway, kimurastanley,
I just got a good deal on a Synergistic Research Galileo SX power cord. Hopefully I will get it in about a week.

Great Ozzy.
I used Galileo SX before with Diablo 300.
You will be happy with it.

Re: Lumin X1 Favorite Power cord?
Got the Galileo SX today after a battle with Fed Ex... but that's another story.
First few minutes listening, I must say the music sounds louder. Any idea how long break in takes?

Re: Lumin X1 Favorite Power cord?
I own the "lesser" T2. With it, I am using a Shunyata Delta power cord, which is both nicely flexible and appears to function quite well. Let me add, though, with these Lumins one must consider all three cords as integral to their ultimate output. For Ethernet, I am using a Wireworld Starlight Cat 8 cable, and for analog output, I am using a customized -- with two silver conductors / 1 copper conductor -- Kimber Kable Silver Streak w/WBT AG terminators. Altogether, I am very pleased with what I am hearing when I listen to music streamed from Tidal HD through my Luxul AV Ethernet switch and Arris cable modem.

Re: Lumin X1 Favorite Power cord?
I had a Synergistic SRX on loan for a while for my Lumin X1. Definitely better than the SX :-) but also more expensive :-( This SX is also a great cable. Originally Posted by ozzy

I upgraded the power supply on my Gigafoil v4 to a Weiss PSU 102. It’s very nice step up. But with the new model, you’re looking at $2000 before even investing in a SOTA linear power supply.
