| Power cords or power conditioner @wheelndeal1099 keep us posted and let us know how the new cables sound! | |
| Disservice: XLR interconnects @juanmanuelfangioii I think there is a forum for those folks but the name escapes me. ASR - Audio Science Review. That’ll be one of ‘em. And it comes with a YouTube channel for those who feel great about using their old RCAs that were sup... | |
| Disservice: XLR interconnects @rman9 whenever you are ready to try some power cords on your amplifier make sure the Audioquest high-current are on your list. AQ Tornado is really good and Hurricane is even better. Probably two of the best power cords I ever tried on my amp. ... | |
