| Krell 400xi vs NAD M3 vs Music Fidelity A5 vs Naim I own a Krell 400xi and Plinius 8150. I like both of them but I do agree with Krelldog, A Plinius 8150 or 9200 gives you a great tube-like sound and is big bang for the buck. I have not heard the amps you mentioned or the Blue Circle. | |

| AFFORDABLE 20 amp power cord for a Hydra? I agree with Johns thoughts and statements. I would have never known there was a slight difference in sonics when using my Voodoo adapter (which I still own and use on an as needed basis) if not for eventually having one PC in the 20 amp version ... | |
| How to make Plinius SB-301 go into standby. When the amp is not in use it goes into stand-by mode. | |
| AFFORDABLE 20 amp power cord for a Hydra? I own the 15A>20A adapter from Voodoo. I do like it however I noticed that it tends to color the sound. Be aware of that characteristic. | |
