| Should I update my manufactures power cords? Yeah when the honeymoon is over you realize you f-ed up and you actually don’t like the change, will never recoup your investment and no one wants your amps because it’s impossible to tell what they sound like compared to original and the warranty... | |
| Should I update my manufactures power cords? Morning dose of entertainment - nothing beats audiogon.
