By the way, I can understand the using the monster, as for the 12 volt trigger etc.. to the amp.. But if you are willing to sacrifice the money like this to a power cord and audio is important than you will find the sacrifice in giving up a 12 volt trigger to activate the amp worth it.. For a quick experiment if you are using the amp into the monster center don't spend any money first and simply plug the rotel to the wall, it would probably have more impact even with the stock cord over plugging a power cord that cost as much as the monster center into it.. then make further decisions on this matter. Experimentation is key, but remember to start with the basics. Most will support the reasoning here, most amps into basic power conditioners are negative sound values vs. straight to the wall, might not be as convienent but willing to dive into excellent cables, luxury in this case may need to take a back seat.
Beyond that you might want to sell the rotel and put another 400 into an amp in the first place.. this will change more dramatically at the level you are at.
