Tin cup:
I tried power cords from both Signal Cable and Cardas and there was no audible difference than using the supplied power cord. I live in a pre-war NYC apartment house and I don't normally expect clean power. I use Cardas power cords in my other systems and have noticed minor improvements in clearer and deeper sound. It just was not the case with the Outlaw. I may also be the only RR2150 owner that has responded to your thread so far.
I would still recommend that your time and cash be spent with interconnects and speaker cables. There was a definite improvement in clarity with orchestral and operatic pieces with the right cables.
Also, in JA's technical measurements section of the Stereophile review of the Outlaw RR2150, he mentioned that the speaker polarity was reversed. JA was measuring a pre- production sample and the reversal of polarity is not an issue with production receivers.
Regards, Rich
