Power Cords - Pixie Dust?
Bob recommend the Pass Seysmour and, actually, he use them on his designs (TG Audio). I changed the flimsy cable that came with my humble TT (a 22ga) for a 14/3 that came stock with a Parasound amplifier. It turned to be an improvement. Now, after... 
Do you pay seller for packaging supplies?
If I don't have the original box, I tried to do a secure packaging with the materials I have on hand. My idea is to send what I would like to receive. It is part of a great deal, not just any deal.I never ask the buyer for extra money in case I ne... 
Power Cord; upgrade vs tweak
You may also use a DIY Cord recipe and hard wire it to the amplifier. It should be better than the stock one while you will not expend much at it.Happy Christmas.

Best Remote $1,250 used preamp?
It seems that you are looking a tube preamplifier, but if you decide for a solid state non balanced preamplifier, I may suggest the McCormack RLD-1. I bought mine used for $1,100.00(shipping included). Yes, remote control is a blessing for lazy au...

Argent Room Lenses?
I made my own set of Room Lenses using the Jon Risch recipe combined with Greg Weavers steps and Thorsten filling recipe. Let me tell that after they were finished, they spend about a year between two audiophiles friends systems and almost lost th... 
Marsh or McCormack
I share Tacs impressions too. OTH I have good results with my RLD-1 preamplifiers and I'm looking to buy a DNA-125. The DNA-225 has more power but , a friend and owner of a 225, said that the 125 is a more refined version. Either one will be a goo... 
Not a question, but a revelation
I have the same experience but with an Audio Magic Excalibur II I/C. I used it from my DAC to the preamplifier and was an amazing improvement over my actual cables.
