| Get Power Conditioner -downgrade my expensive PCs? Tplavas, Thanks for your parting shot.

Bryston indicates on their site that they do not recommend the use of aftermarket cords assuming that they are not too small to limit input current, which anything at a 10 gauge should satisfy.

| Get Power Conditioner -downgrade my expensive PCs?
