What is an excellent power cable?
I would stay away from the Pangea power cords.  I tried them in both of my systems and they ssucked the life out of both of them.  I use all Shunyata which made a big difference, especially with the lowered noise

@moto-man.....................I still listen to FM radio, daily.  I have an excellent McIntosh FM tuner in my office system and I listen to it 8 hours a day.  I also have another McIntosh FM tuner in my main rig which I listen to on the weekends, ... 
Why are my woofers pumping?
Like I said in a earlier post, just buy the KAB rumble filter and be done with it!  I tried everything mentioned in this thread at one time or another and only the KAB filter worked with no loss in bass quality or quantity.  I am using it with a V...

Aerial 10T’s and my power amp... need help.

@cowan217.......................I feel the same way and my last 3 transactions as a seller were  transactions from hell.  I am done selling equipment as it is too much of a hassle.  Then there was the guy who bought a $1970.00 Magnum Dynalab FM tu... 
Why are my woofers pumping?
Same problem on 3 different Turntables. As a last resort, I bought a KAB rumble filter which I run via the tape loop. I do not notice any less bass and my system really swings. The filter even uses audiophile parts in it. New it was 179.00 but I s... 
BEST SOUNDING PLAYBACK CASSETTE DECK; RECOMMENDATIONS
