Power Cord recommendations for a First Watt SIT3
Any amp with an IEC power inlet would give you a reason to experiment. The supplied cords that come with the gear, are good to start off with. However, there is more to be gained in a upgrade, specifically the gauge, as mentioned above. For that a...

@edcyn I need to do more of that, for sure. Love the orange tabby lying comfortably on the dust cover of your SOTA table. Must be an indoor / outdoor cat, with the windows open. Enjoy ! and My Best ! MrD  
The worst sentence in audio writing
As I mentioned on another thread here, our systems are only as good as our recordings. Tony Minasian of Tonian Labs, who is a genius at his craft, has instilled in me, again, that his " Drums And Bells ", might be the best " recording " that I own... 
Looking for pure copper or Cu/Au bananas
Eric, not only will you hear many improvements between your old and the new speaker cables ( I do question the higher frequencies of the newer cable ), you will enjoy, and question, the break in period, as there WILL be a break in period. I rememb... 
What is an audiophile? Are you an audiophile?

Looking for pure copper or Cu/Au bananas
Back when I purchased my Furez bananas, I contacted Furez, told them what I wanted, and purchased directly from them. As mentioned above.......I like the products very much. Those Furutech bananas have " lots of different metals ", for what it's w...

yyz. Watched and listened to the video " Forget Me Not ". Interesting. Go Brooklyn !  
Favorite Preamps without phono section
Just some info...These preamps w/o phono sections are referred to as " line stages ". Cartridges do not output enough voltage to operate at line level. I gave up on preamps a long time ago, as I am strictly passive. Passive works very well for me,... 
Paul Klipsch was right - What the world needs is a good 5 watt amplifier
My peak levels approach 100db + and it does not hurt me in any way. My ears check out fine, as I have annual check ups. This is such a very important aspect to music reproduction for me. That is my story......
