Power Cables for Class D Amplifiers
Ebm, I'd like to hear my system with that cable but the price of ownership is too high. 
Getting New Panasonic ST30 Plasma TV
Update: Prior to the Panasonic, I recently purchased 2 LCD's, a Magnavox 46" (returned-nothing special) and a Samsung 46" (returned- made motion pictures look like TV shows shot with a video camera) The Samsung had an incredibly seductive bright a...

Ebm exactly what did Voodoo cables do in your system compared to the others you've tried? All I have by them is their 15 to 20 amp adapter.

Nasaman, that's good feedback. That is curious. The amp I have is the Cary A306.

Swanny the amp has a 15 amp IEC and therefore requires a 15 amp power cord. The manufacturer does not list amps in its specifications.

What happened to my bass?
Am I the only one whose system drives them nuts from time to time? 04-25-11: 240zracerAbsolutely positively you are not! There are so many variables regarding things like impedance matching, current, voltage, the noise floor, the room etc. It's en... 
Integrated SS amps - Luxman vs. Simaudio Moon?
That's really tough to wait that long for anything! Hope it works out for you and you get it Tues. I was strongly considering a 505u. 
How does one get off the merry-go-round?
Mrtennis put it very well! Easier said than done for me but not for some. 
Amplifier advice from Ohm Walsh 100 Mk. II owners
Ohms require an amplifier with current. I had a different pair of Ohms than yours, but I would be looking at a high current amp that doubles down with at least 100 watts into 8 ohms 200 into 4 ohms.
