Ahh Sherod,

You are a breath of fresh air. You are right on the money regarding "over-saturated" market for AC Conditioners. And I agree why distract Joseph from coming out with the improvements that will benefit all AH owners more. The power cord does it all anyway and it can be further tweeked.

I removed the solder and cleaned both ends then used "bare" crimping on the plugs for a clean connection.
Power cord hunting ended that day.

AH Fans,

Anyone heard Joseph's top of the line IC? Any impressions will be helpful. Dimension I believe is the name. Anyone has thoughts on how the AH 2.0 is holding up in their system.
I wonder about the new harness you mentioned Sherod. Any more info about its design? Does the 2.1n & 2.0n at least share the same musical bloodline?

Who makes the Fusion cords? Clio09 mentioned that you are a big fan.

So glad that you are into "real" music these days. And as to the new Mullards, I am not surprised. Nice to see you are doing well. Rx8man seems to also and thats important in a good or bad economy.
Sherod-

Thanks for the info. I probably will keep things the same then and perhaps try the Fusion cords. I have gone Server digital (PC Audio)these days with the Transporter and I am still working on maximizing its potential.

Stl you seem to like the Dimensions. Did you compare them? I am on the east coast and my set up is Single ended with Grover's/Joseph's Mix of speaker cable and Harmony IC with an eye on the Silkworm cables to try.

Too bad...Louisianna is a trek for me from Connecticut :) Would have liked to meet you. Perhaps if you are serving up Gumbo and I happen to be at Mardi Gras....

Indeed its hard to pinpoint opinion on this thread as to the 2.0 upgrade. You are right that systems and preferences vary and are none absolute. I happen to respect a more critical mind like yours especially when you made it a mission to improve the older version yourself by upgrading the caps.



Sherod- Great info about your DIY experience. Any others?
I am not afraid of the iron myself. But that wire harness story, you are a brave man.

Stltrains, will take you up on your offer for sure since Louisianna is a fascinating destination especially for its music vibes.

Upgrade for the AH, lord have mercy time to start saving in my piggy bank. Thanks so much for waking us up. Now, Victor no more promises lets see the upgrades.

Great info on what Victor is working on. By the way, if anyone is interested in The Transparency power cord with Oyaide connectors, I have one available.

Sherod,

Did you do any upgrades on your AH preamp? I remember your output cap experiments.
