Ah yes, the slings and arrows of outrageous audiophilia nervousa, making that vaguely fatiguing whizzing sound as they go shooting by, narrowly missing the slight but growing crust of tarnish beginning to occlude those once-golden ears....
I've often wondered about doing the same thing with my C-J MV-55, and the captive cord on it ain't perzackly impressive, to say the least. However, the amp sounds just great the way it is. But then I think about how much of a difference my Synergistic Master A/C Coupler made on my old Classe Seventy - and then I think about how much better an amp the C-J is *even with* its dinky cord! And then there's the fact that there ain't no room that I can see inside the chassis for mounting the darned IEC receptacle (yeah, I went ahead and got one, from Michael Percy Audio, Stenho). So: do I really want an IEC "pigtail" hangin' off the back, connected to some 10X-the-diameter aftermarket garden hose? What would the neighbors think?! What would a buyer think?! So there you have it - I've done nada, frozen as I am, coccooned within the chilly comfort of my existential angst....
