HiDiamond Power cords...
Has anyone compared the HiDiamond power cords to the latest Elrod cords? I'd especially be interested in a comparison of the P4 to an Elrod Statement Silver or Statement Gold.

Where can one find information on these, particularly prices, where to audition or buy in the U.S.? Thanks

Hi Dan,Thank you for your post! I have complete faith this will be taken care of promptly. In the meantime, I have been enjoying the sound since changing the speaker leads and putting more time on the player. From one imperfect human to another,John

Good news: After what I estimate to be about 110 hours of total burn-in (72 hours before shipment, 40 hours by me), I have "real" bass - more full and textured; better tonality, etc. I also have natural mid-range richness, much better dynamic rang...

I'm not too keen on having to spend more money on different tubes just yet. I need to talk to Dan first, for one thing. Could people suggest tube sellers, so I'll have that info when I'm ready, though? I have no idea where to get them. Thanks!

Thank you. I will call Dan on Monday. I'm sure the out-of-phase issue is part of the problem, though. I reversed the connections on one speaker, and that corrected volume and soundstage/imaging. It helped the bass some too, but I still need more/d...

Modwright sony xa5400 vs Modwright Oppo 95
I assume if one is only going to listen to 2 CH, there is no advantage to getting a Bybee Rail on the MCH DAC? I realize that sounds like a stupid question, but thought I would ask anyway - audio being weird and all.Thanks for any insight you have. 
Purepower 2000+ and 3000+ actual availability???
I am sorry to hear you did not get timely responses, Sksos1. As people may know, this was a major problem for me - for a long time. It is very, very sad, as I like the Pure Power people; and the units I have are far superior to anything else I hav...

I am also very interested to hear what you think of the 105 vis a vis the 95! 
Looking for a power conditioner/regenerator/filter
The Pure Power + series regenerators are by far the best "conditioners" I have ever used. I have owned two different PS regenerators in the past, as well as Hydra, Bybee, Walker, Sound Applications, and other conditioners.
