Power Cord for Satellite Receiver
Take the Cardas recommendation with a grain of salt as Dedicated is a Cardas dealer but failed to disclose same. 
What is the best DAC ever made?

Dynavector XV1s loading & phono

JM Reynaud Trente to GMA Callisto or Merlin TSMMe?
The GMA is a step up and the Merlin a step down IMO.Trust your ears and don't be in a hurry to spend your children's inheritance.
