I have a Sumo 9 that has gone through a full rebuild and has an IEC power connector cord in place of the original captive cord. With just a budget Volex 17604 power cord I'm getting really good results with it in my 2nd system. I'm tempted to spend more money on different power cords but I'm controlling myself. If it isn't broke I'm not fixing it. Kudos to Mike Bettinger at GasAudio.net. That guy really knows Sumo gear.
Replace pwr cord w/IEC socket on vintage gear?
I have thought about this many times, as I own a fair amount of gear from the '80s. Yesterday I picked up a KILLER Heathkit pwr amp, but it has a really wimpy pwr cord. The shop where I bought it will install an IEC socket for 1 hr. labor plus the part. Given that this opens the amp up to the world of better power cords, this seems like an attractive, low-cost upgrade.
Has anybody here done it, and how'd it turn out?
