McIntosh MA6900 Sensitive to Power Cords? I have

a JPS AC+ cord I will try on it after break in. It's a new unit with the stock power cord connected now. If the JPS does not work out, I have a less expensive Shunyata Diamondback to try. I'm looking to maintain great low end but yet clear up the high end a bit. To me it seems a little veiled on the high end. I am used to a cleaner top end. I know that Mc's are known for a tube type high end that is not greatly extended but I feel I can improve it with the right pc.

Has anyone tried a non-curent limiting conditioner like the Shunyata Hydra? I have a Hydra 4 that I will enventually plug the Mc into. Also how many hours to break in a new 6900?

Hello: I'm not familiar with B&W speakers. I'm currently using Def Tech BP7002's and a Simaudio Nova cdp with my 6900. I will probably purchase the Ohm Walsh 100mk2 or 200mk2 speakers for a home trial soon since I am not satisfied with the bass on my current speaks. IMHO you will definitely want to upgrade your source which would seem to be your weak link just as the back end seems to be my weak link. I still don't think I've heard the full potential of my 6900 yet. And, I think you may be experiencing that too. For me, my weak link may be the back end for you maybe the front end.
