A bit off topic, but 20 years ago living in VA I sold my McIntosh C15 and MC300 to a fellow in WA. He was an artist, and sent me 3 nice prints of water colors scenes he had done. I had them framed and have them to this day... I continue to find 90% of people I deal with on Audiogon to be kind and collegial. Don’t let the forums fool you, just a few out of many that like to be heard.
..so you think there's no need.......
I have Vandersteen 5A speakers which have a sub section that's powered by its own class D amp....very efficient...needs little power. The power cords look like Home Depot specials. Yesterday, I found an old Transparent brand power cord....what the heck. I substituted the HD left cord with the Transparent, the result is a major sonic improvement, not only in the lows where you'd expect, but in the soundstage mids/highs. Although I can't pinpoint a difference in sound from the 2 speakers, I now have to explore a 2nd power cord for the right one....I don't expect I'll ever find a Transparent power cord after all these years.
