| Best Power Cable for Luxman D-08u SACD player. The stock power cord is your best bet. Power cords do virtually nothing to alter the sound unless the one you are replacing is defective.Right. Black rubber power cords are the pinnacle of state of the art high end performance. That is why they sh... | |
| GR Research Power Cables Any time you can upgrade to something better, sell your old and have money left over, hard to think of anything better. That is what I was able to do with Synergistic back in the 90's, and that is what we're able to do with Townshend today. Pretty... | |
| Wow, $10k+ cables The description of the Nordost Odin1 is very much like the first power cord bewgow sent me. Impressively solid imaging, incredibly detailed, extremely fast and extended, and with excellent dynamics- but thin, especially in the bass, so that the ov... | |

| Question regarding pre-amp and amp They don't put the switch on the back to discourage use, they put it on the back to be close to AC in and the power supply. You can turn it on and off all you want. If you go the power strip route you are running the power for your amp that you pr... | |
| Break-in of a Class D amp? Sounds like they fixed a problem with a hyped top end to me. In any case I have never heard any component go from rolled off to extended during burn-in. Always the other way around as the high frequency grain and etch that masquerades as detail be... | |

| Favorite cable brand. Which is my favorite brand depends on just what you mean. If you mean what is my favorite go-to brand in general, no matter what type of wire or what it costs, then Synergistic. Ted makes everything, they are all very high quality and value, and t... | |
