| Apollon Hypex NCx500 ST NCOREx Stereo Amp - First Listen and Impressions @kevemaher Isn’t the power input plug the standard IEC? There’s a small amount of logic in their response, but it’s mostly a way for them to save a couple of dollars. All he best. | |
| Apollon Hypex NCx500 ST NCOREx Stereo Amp - First Listen and Impressions Why didn’t it come with an instruction booklet or cord?

| Pairing streamer @davegolf2424 My Aurender has to be hardwired. But it’s hardwired to a wireless router. That’s how my pad and phone can see it. I’m pretty sure yours should be the same. All the best. | |

| Background vibration and your system. I have Isoacoustics on most of my equipment and speakers and those washing machine rubber isolators on my amps. Until now, I’ve never heard of Silent Running Audio, but maybe they have something for my eighty pound amplifiers. | |
