| Power Cord Length @dconrad,You responded to an old thread, but, it is good that you tried upgrading your power cables. These things can make an 'improvement', but, as you have found out, it depends upon the equipment associated.FWIW, I seem to have settled on Audio... | |
| Classical Music for Aficionados @jcazador, I don't see the Schumann Piano Concerto in those links.And, the recording I reference to was with the National Symphony Orchestra.It looks like RV was correct:https://www.amazon.com/Schumann-Piano-Concerto-Op-54-Op-129/dp/B0018OC7VMI mi... | |

| Has anyone tried these stunning new CPT power cord? Ah, finally!Though after waiting this long, I won't be holding my breath.Hopefully, all of us will get our stuff.B | |
