| Phonostage recommendations under $3K Check out the Tavish Design Adagio and you can roll tubes to get the degree of warmth you want. The only downside is that there is a 5-6 week wait for them, but occasionally, a used one will pop up for sale. : ) | |

| Aftermarket umbilical cords Wywires makes umbilical cords ($395?) for Modwright Oppo power supplies and have been well received. Perhaps Alex can make one for you. The company is also having a 40% off sale until March 20th, with a 30 day money back. Tough to beat that! | |
