Best Power Cord for a Classe CA 2300
I am shocked by the rudeness demonstrated by some posters in this thread. They cannot be proud of what they have written for all the world to read. Very poor form.Regards,

If one is thinking about buying the oppo 95 new, one should consider waiting for the new 105. They have revised the architecture and have gotten rid of the fan - the fan was a problem for some listeners. Regards,

World's best Pre-amp for $10K and above?
The worlds finest SACD player, the Playback Designs MPS-5, designed by Andreas Koch, who invented SACD technology when he worked for Sony. In no way diminishing either the PD or Mr. Koch's accomplishments, I think the last part of the sentence is ...
