| Shunyata Delta or Alpha V2 NR vs. AQ Hurricane HC Interesting discovery… Tried the Shunyata cable on my Bricasti M3 in place of the Furutech FPS-032n with FI-28(R) connectors.

| Power cord - 5 ft vs 10 ft ? @jasonbourne52 I can move my amp to be one inch from the outlet. Any idea where I can get a 1” power cord? Or should I just hardwire the amp to wall? @jumia you’re overthinking it. Here’s why….a 1m AudioQuest Hurricane will be way better than ... | |

| Shunyata Delta or Alpha V2 NR vs. AQ Hurricane HC @ozzy LOL that’s why I said it will take a while. I also want to try Audience AU24SX power cable to match my speaker cables. May be compare it with Dragon. | |

| How hot is hot when moving from class a/b to to a or tubes? My Pass Labs XA30.8 Class A amp runs cooler than the tubed Rogue ST100 that I had before it. I can hold my hand on the heatsink and it’s not terrible. It’s also not too bad in the summer. As to the warm up time, both the tubed Rogue and the SS P... |
