| How to replace hardwired stock power cord ? Soldering: Yes. Just follow the existing cord, to it’s connection points. If there’s a star ground, the new cord’s ground conductor to that(perhaps you’ll need an eyelet/ring terminal). If not, try a point on the chassis. If that creates a ground ... | |
| How to replace hardwired stock power cord ? As far as your unit’s capacitors: if it were me, any electrolytics would be replaced with the exact same values, in either Elna Silmic II’s, their Cerafines or Sanyo OS-CONs. Most DACs have regulators that can be upgraded, as well, to great effect... | |
| How to replace hardwired stock power cord ? Unfortunately, there’s no, "standard" size for IEC connectors, so no one makes knockout punches, for those animals(to my knowledge, at least). Some rectangular punches are available, but- the prices typically aren’t realistic for limited usage(ie:... | |

| Wondering why... "He skillfully made the argument that one had to hear something before one could pass judgement on it." Was that before Ivor Tiefenbrun(the founder of Linn Audio Products) said, "If you haven’t heard it: you have no opinion?" Not really so profoun... | |
| Best place to sell an amp. What cal18 said +1, where-so-ever you decide to list. | |
| Best place to sell an amp. Lately, I sold a six month old pair of 1.7i Maggies, for just a little less than what I paid for them(brand new at Ovation). The buyer(who lived 150 miles North and was my first response) was debating on/balking at ordering a pair, never having he... | |

| Have you been surprised by power cable changes? s @ypingping- Apparently, that post contained too much fact for the, "moderators"(or someone's tender feelings).

| TUBE ADAPTER for 5670/2C51/396a to 6922/6DJ8/ECC88 ? Here’s one with gold plating.

Were I attempting to use a different pin ... | |
| Please Help Me!! @glennewdick- Hopefully, being helpful will never go out of style, even if in response to a joke. You did increase the thread’s fun! | |
| Please Help Me!! @geeqner- Some of that older, "esoteric" stuff, is very hard to improve upon, if upgraded. Some would be really surprised, at what one can accomplish(SQ-wise) with $1500, thoughtful choices, a soldering iron and a few carefully selected passive co... |
