Qobuz Coming to America Soon!

I have the Pontus and it didn't come with a power cord either. I'm using a Van den hul I've had for years and used on other components. It's always sounded great to me.

Has there been any inexpensive item that enhanced your system's sound?
My last tweak was the Synergistic Black Quantum fuse. It went in my Mystere ca21 pre amp and just made everything better. There is literally more of everything. And it's all the good stuff.
