grannyring:Do you use an upgraded power cable to your 2170? Have been told this makes a genuine improvement with Class D amps and am getting a Nord in a week or so. Will not, btw, be buying a $3k power cord...As your post suggests, I am very, very...

Whacky: Am using the standard size on a very hard wood tile surface. If it was carpet, would probably have gone with the pointed feet -- but they come loose with vibration and would not provide the kind of stable security the the gliders do. Share...
