I installed one on my Hafler dh500 using a dremell tool w the right bit to cut heavy gauge metal. Took about 15 minutes, looked perfect, much more comfortable to work with, n changing power cables made the sound improve. Cant think how it could affect resale value imo.
Install IEC male socket or not??
Hi. I own a Threshold Forte Model 3, which is a superb solid-state amp. It is a bit older though, and it still has its original slender power cord and two-prong plug. This is a 200 wpc (8 ohms) amp with high bias and high current, and it just seems to me that I ought to install a male IEC socket on the rear panel and buy a proper power cord. I do worry about ruining the resale value though, and I've even heard these old Nelson Pass amps have some modest collector value. I welcome all learned opinions!!
