Undertow thanks for the advice. Just a detail, but I think the IEC "socket" is nonetheless a "male" connection, because it has prongs, and thus the phalic reference to males. The cord has the holes, so...well, you figure it out. Thanks. -David
Install IEC socket ruin
I am the proud owner of a Forte Audio (Threshold) Model 3 solid-state amp. It is a true Nelson Pass design (just ask Mr. Pass), and I love it. It is a 200 wpc Class A/B amp with high bias. Unfortunately, however, it has a rather anemic stock power cord. It is a "lamp-cord" thin cord with a two-prong plug. I would like to add a male IEC socket to the rear panel and buy a nice power cord. I understand the Forte Model 3 has some (modest) collector value. Wouild it be wise to add the IEC or just leave it the way it is?? All learned opinions welcome. Thanks.
