Gary, good questions. First, the power supply was damaged in transit and a $20 DIY fix rendered it very quiet. Check my threads and read about the fix. The title of the thread is "My tube amp power supply is buzzing away Help"
Regarding power cords.I have a Blue Marble Audio, Signal and Aural Symphonics Missing Link. The stock power cord sounded better then the Blue Marble and about the same as the others. The BM cord bested many other PC's I have tried on tube amps as an FYI.
Soundstage extends well beyond the sides of the speakers and the center is filled in nicely. Yes, like most good tube amps the room is filled with music. I never feel as if the notes are firing out at me from the speakers, like some SS amps. I am saying it sounds natural and life-like.
The amps greatest attribute is it's wonderful tranparancy and detail. I like the amp more and more the longer I have it.
