| AudioQuest Niagara 1000 I liked it so much I bought a Niagara 7000! I’m using the 7000 on all of my audio equipment. Also bought a Hurricane PC for it.I am using the 1000 on my video equipment. My Denon surround processor/amp really improved being plugged into the Hi-cur... | |
| My Speaker Journey and Focal Sopra 2 Thanks for the kind comments.Getting speakers to perform well in a home setup can be a crapshoot. But the Focal's were easy to integrate and are a pleasure to listen to.ozzy | |
| What are the weak points of Pass amps and pre-amps ? Well you asked so here is my opinion. I owned for quite a while the Pass X350.5 amp and the XP-10 preamp.The XP-10 preamp to me was average. The step up from it was the XP-20 which has 2 separate chassis, I never heard this unit but I didn't like ... | |
| What power cord do you like most on your amp ? I agree with Elizabeth. It all matters from the breaker panel to the component. Remember the old saying, its only as good as the weakest link.I am using the Curious Tech Matrix power cords on my Bob Carver 350's tube amps.I also just ordered a Hur... | |
| What makes a 20A IEC rated for 20 amps? After talking with a few Audio friends, we concur that probably the reason for the 20A IEC on the back of some component is to ensure that whatever power cord is plugged into it can handle 20 amps and consists of 10-12ga wire.That is; all premade ... | |
| What makes a 20A IEC rated for 20 amps? Elizabeth,Thanks, I agree.About the change in size on the Furutech, I found this out the hard way...ozzy | |
| What makes a 20A IEC rated for 20 amps? Well it is odd that the male plugs are rated for 15A while the female end can be a 15 or 20A IEC. So, does the 20A component chassis mount IEC really matter if its a 20A or 15A as long as the wire used is rated for 20 amps?ozzy | |

| What makes a 20A IEC rated for 20 amps? bsmg,That's kind of what I think. As long as the cable can conduct 20A then the connector shouldn't matter. As long as it is of high quality.folkfreek,I here you about resale value, but IEC's are relative easy to change, if you can get at them.ozzy | |
| What makes a 20A IEC rated for 20 amps? Bob,Thanks for the info. I am using the adapter to demo, but I was thinking of either changing the power cord IEC end or the IEC in the unit.Is there an actual difference in power transfer with a 20A IEC connector? They look to be about the same t... | |
| What makes a 20A IEC rated for 20 amps? BTW, it took me several tries to post this question. The Audiogon site kept deleting all or parts of the question. So, sorry about any misspelled words.ozzy | |
| Why so many used focals? Steve59,So did you keep the Kanta 3's?ozzy | |
| My Speaker Journey and Focal Sopra 2 steve59,Well I only listened to the Kanta 2 the 3 version was not out yet. I thought that the Kanta 2’s distorted badly when using them with classic rock music. I thought the Sopra’s sound to be more delicate in the highs and mid and the bass slam... |
