Who does POWER CORD modifications??

I'm in the process of cutting the chasis of VTL Deluxe 100 with diamond dust coated saw in order to mount IEC plug. I will use Marnico plugs. I know it's going to take a bunch of time like eating a big bowl of soup with the teaspoon.

Bill Thalmann at Music Technology. Bill if a former engineer designer at Conrad Johnson. Bill will also do power supply upgrades, if he feels it will be an improvement. That website is:

For someone who's experienced at installing an IEC socket in the chassis so that you can use a removeable cord, that's probably not much more work than hardwiring a cord. I've hardwired cords into amplifiers I've owned... and yes, I'd agree that hardwiring tends to produce better sound quality. (But it sure is inconvenient to spend big $$ for a power cord and then have it bound to one piece of equipment.) If you do have an IEC socket installed, you might make sure the installer also runs good wire within the chassis between the IEC socket and the power switch.
