If you get the adapter try using the cord with power tools or a vacuum cleaner (something that draws a lot of current).   DeKay  
Best Options For A Tubed Preamp - $2500 Or Less, Preferably Used To Maximize Value
"The amp, while very high quality is a very little know cult model." It is also completely unknown in this/your thread asking advice as to what to mate with it.   DeKay

Tweak Pink Himalayan Salt Lamps.
"Schumann generator are not placebo at all, it is way more audible than atmosphere ionization ..." I fell asleep next to the SG I purchased and woke up with an upset stomach (I rarely have them - not even once a year). Following this I experienc...
