| Power Cable Question... I have used many different PCs and AC terminations. I can honestly say I've never had to "force" an IEC connector into any equipment I've owned. Yes, some have been slightly tighter and some looser but "force" was never necessary.Something doesn't... | |
| To big to fail? What road are we headed down? I never understood the tape on the jewel case. It's only on the top and the jewel case can be opened without removing it.If it's an anti-theft measure it doesn't work. | |

| To terminate.. or not I'm sure they work great for most and they are a nice design. I was hooking up 4 spades into each one which I found to be a hassle, much easier with standard type binding posts. | |
| What’s next up on the docket for you? Blindjim,Concerning your response to my monitor post. When I think about a good monitor and decent stands I start thinking a small floor stander might be the way to go. Certainly not much difference from a space perspective and better chance for g... | |
