Bill, The power supplies of the VAC amps are so good that most conditioners that I've tried to plug them into have degraded their sound, just as you found. The only thing that benefitted my VAC amps are much better power cords and an Alan Maher Po... 
A hard look at the effect of cables
"Wire has acquired such magical properties in recent years that soon we will be able to eliminate speakers, amps, sources, etc. and the magical cables will make music all by themselves." http://socrates.berkeley.edu/~argon/nanoradio/radio.html

Review: Lessloss Filtering Power Cable Power cord
Who's the Dimwit in the photo?( just kidding). I too would like to see the girl in a bikini holding the cord for you. It might persuade me to try the cord out. But seriously, I'm glad that you like the new power cord. Have fun enjoying your new mu... 
Best stereo recievers of the 1970's?
I 2nd the Harman/Kardon x30 models(430,730,930). Excellent build with good power supplies and wonderful FM sections. I recently had a 730 refurbished for my father and he loves it.

Luis, You are a funny guy. I don't shop until the day after Christmas when they have the 50% off sales. Just kidding, but my mother has always shopped this way to prepare for the next Christmas. It's a little early anyway for me to get into the ho... 
Modified DCM TFE200's......World Reference Now
I am just curious to see what it looks like. It also would be interesting to see some frequency response graphs and time pulse graphs on this "Modified" speaker.

Gentlemen, This thread has become fairly quiet lately. Is everyone just enjoying their music so much that they don't have either the time or inclination to put in any comments? I would love to hear from new owners of the TP 2.1 or thoughts from an... 
Anyone here using vintage speakers?
I'm not sure if these are considered vintage, but I have a 1986 pair of Rauna Tyr II monitors in my bedroom system.

Thank you, Pummy. I appreciate the info. I also have had issues with the power cord iecs not staying snug in the amp, etc. connectors. It's nice to know some of the alternatives.
