Cary Audio SLP-05 First Impression
Hmm! Not sure that would gel well with my current thought process of just work as intended. I would be to worried about the rest of the build quality, especially seeing 2 issues in the first 3 months of ownership but if one is willing to stick it ... 
Power Cable Break In - Such a Change!
Nice thread Ozzy! Curious as the which outlet your using? I have an Edison along with An Furutech ncf  which I do prefer to the Edison but if going the full AQ setup it would be my outlet of choice to take advantage of  the benefits you seem to b... 
Video: noise floor and tweeter hiss, what do you think?

Luxman 509X vs Mc452 + preamp

New Musical Fidelity M8 pre - anyone heard this

How's the Cary doing?  Still living the tube dream?  
Verastarr
I do agree Morrow is a " Different Class of cables" I find them the one’s to beat with my setup.  
Furutech GTX-D NCF or Power Cord
@divertiti  No cover here as well just the outlet.  
Furutech GTX-D NCF or Power Cord
@divertiti  Sorry for the late response ! I also currently have in the same 4gang box the AQ Edison outlet which replaced an PS Audio premier . The AQ Edison is no slouch by any means and could easily live with it I give an edge to the NCF due to ...
