The Truth About Power Cords and there "Real" Price to Performance
@unfairlane If you want to wake up your Bryston, give it a minimum 12awg solid core pc Are we back to the gauge being the primary factor affecting power cable performance on amplifiers?  I have a hard time getting away from wire gauge, noise-cance...

This is ridiculous. If as you say your amp was a "no brainer to sell," then sell it yourself.  If you don't like their prices or conditions, then don't deal with them....simple.  TMR runs a well-managed business, they stay true to their business... 
Why discussions generate into personal affronts...
@berner99People's understanding of audio (and in general, the world) is a part of who they are. Dissenting views threaten that understanding which can be upsetting and people can get angry. True, but it’s too bad that before getting angry they do...
