Lightning quick DYNAMIC amp in the under $1000 range
I would start with the one, for your Behringer, and let your ears tell you. Nothing more. The new pc will be obvious, but it will require a bit of " break in ". How much, depends. Let the amp play music with the new cord for a week, and you will b...

Awesome jetter. Enjoy ! 
Lightning quick DYNAMIC amp in the under $1000 range
bstat, jetter, I made a recommendation on a very good, inexpensive power cord. Did either of you do anything about it, to try?  Enjoy ! MrD 
Is it possible to have vinyl nearly noise free?
fleschler, you worded it better than I did in my post : not to play the same record over and over again, giving the vinyl time to relax, as that was spoken about at that seminar. It is possible in that video I spoke of, the vinyl, as you say, was ... 
Who is using their DAC as a preamp?
There is a poster on another thread that uses a 1/3rd octave 31 band eq, as his passive device ( it has dual channel gain controls ). He compared it, flat, to 5 K preamps, and says it is superior to his ears. I have the same eq ( and I tried it vi... 
Double Advent wiring question...
If people agreed with you and were ecstatic about your stacked double Advents, your attitude would be different for sure. Sometimes you have to take a few hits along the way, but this is part of posting here. You can always ask the administrators ... 
Vintage preamp/amp power cords
I have replaced hundreds of power cords on older gear ( anything without an iec receptacle ). I do not like iec receptacles, but, having them is convenient, and I learn to live with them. Anyway, always hotwired, with a larger gauge cord, purchase... 
Is it possible to have vinyl nearly noise free?
Cleeds, we ( the audience ) could not believe it ourselves. This seminar is also where I learned to never play the same vinyl over and over again, if we wanted our records to last, and sound like new, for a longer period of ownership. Believe what... 
Double Advent wiring question...
To the op, as long as you are happy. And in reply, shaming others, I don't think so. Enjoy ! MrD. 
Double Advent wiring question...
I experimented with double Advents ( slightly raised off the floor, top pair inverted, and did the same with other speakers as well ), and although " nice ", they are bettered today by a plethora of modern slim towers by Polk, Infinity, Klipsch, E... 
Who is using their DAC as a preamp?
Another post about passive. Just try it, and, for a while. Believe me when I say, I had 2 preamps above an RP5 in sq, that colored the sound, held back details and information on my recordings, and unnaturally added balls and oomph to the music. L... 
Who is using their DAC as a preamp?
My Adcom GDA 700, feeds my Luminous Audio Axiom II, with Walker Mod, 3 in, 2 out ( single ended ), with remote, feeds any number of power amps. I replaced a few excellent preamps with this, soon after I purchased a very high gain power amp ( Nufor... 
Is it possible to have vinyl nearly noise free?
In my early days of being in the audio business, I was invited to an exclusive seminar, given by a cartridge manufacturer ( it was either Shure, Stanton, or Empire ). We were shown a video of a stylus tracking a record ( recorded microscopically, ... 
Technics SL-23 TT opinions.. mated with Denon DL-103?
When I was into vinyl, I was beyond all of the lp playback gear mentioned above. Just saying. If I were buying a Denon 103 ( or any low output mc cartridge ), to be used on a Technics SL 23, I would rewire the tonearm cabling, without a doubt. I w... 
Used Amp Under $1000
It appears the particular DNA1, as you selected above, has been overhauled, so, imo, you are good to go. Odyssey, although excellent, is a very warm sounding amp, if you like that. The CJ as well. The particular Classe has less " balls ", or " oom...
