Why Power Cables Affect Sound
prof….maybe you should do the same as I suggested to N80, but in reverse, as many need to do. Borrow one. Just be happy. We are talking about musical enjoyment in our homes, bringing me to : Enjoy ! MrD. 
Why Power Cables Affect Sound
N80. I am not fond of the power cables your brother in law gave you, but here is an idea. Your preamp and amp have iec inlets, with these upgraded power cords in use at this time. I am sure you have a few " standard " iec power cords, from say a d... 
Why Power Cables Affect Sound
@analogluvr Am I to assume you have joined the other two I mentioned, or to put it another way, just pick a side. @N80, I am in no way being trollish, as you say. Just stating the facts, doc. " The rest of us have to deal with " ? Really ? Are you... 
Why Power Cables Affect Sound
It amazes me how a subject such as this still continues, and brings such diversity. I have NEVER purchased a pc, ic, fuse, or isolation product, prior to evaluating them. As a member of the professional audio community, I was always able to get " ... 
Why Power Cables Affect Sound
There was a time when the high end manufacturers did not supply iec power cord inlets ( they were all hot wired ) on their equipment. I have not seen a high end piece as of late that is not equipped with an iec inlet. What does this tell you ? Enj... 
Why Power Cables Affect Sound
Keep in mind, you would need equipment that has an iec connector, unless you are willing and able ( as I have done many times ) to internally rewire the factory cord with an upgraded cord. Most newer equipment has iec inlets, most older pieces do ...

keep this in mind...roberjerman has claimed over and over, that power cables have NO difference in sound, from one to another. Enjoy ! MrD. 
Skeptic or just plain hard headed
What if I told you power cables make tremendous differences in sq, and require burn in / break in time. All products require it. Lots of articles / threads about that. Enjoy ! MrD. 
KLIPSCH Heritage speakers .
I am the ONE. The Forte was never an " original " Heritage model. The 5 original Heritage models : Klipschorn, Belle, Lascala, Cornwall and Heresy were the originals, and these 5 were designed by PWK. The Forte was marketed later as a Heritage mod... 
Got a pair of JBL 240Ti - mint condition, very nice.
Tell the wife to get over it, as they bring you much enjoyment. She married you for better, or worse. Show here pictures and photos of other speakers ( this is a great site to show her ). She would probably want small bookshelf speakers or very sl... 
Klipsch Heritage vs Zu audio
Khorns, updated and tweaked, in excellent corners, of an excellent room ( inclusive of the listening chair) , with excellent and proper associated equipment, will sound absolutely excellent, and imo, and ime, are hard to beat, with all kinds of mu...

" I happened upon them accidently ". I would love to hear the story. What about them does the wife hate ? Looks ( w/o grills ), sound, size. Are they better than what you have now ? Enjoy ! MrD. 
New Klipsch Cornwalls anybody hear them?
A match made in heaven, but would recommend listening to them first. Enjoy! MrD. 
Passive preamp to a power amp?
The Saga has a much better volume control design over the Sys. FWIW, in my opinion, a very audible improvement. Worth the $ difference if you want to extract more detail and information out of the system ( this is assuming going passive works for ... 
I like my system flat, no tone controls, no eq..........what is your preference, and why.
prof, glad it worked out.....Enjoy ! MrD.
