This is bugging me
Jeez us 'philes can be one anal group at times. Or maybe it's just me. I set up a system at my office, and it's bugging me. The system: Linn Classik with EAR feet (Integrated, tuner, CDP), a Target wall mount stand for the Linn, 4 foot QED Silver Anniversary flat silver biwire speaker cable (MIT spades and Linn plugs), ProAc Tablette 2000 Speakers, Focus 24" stands with lead shot, and Sennheiser HD600 cans. I listen at low levels to avoid disturbing others; when I feel the need for full range sound I put my headphones on. Damned decent system for an office. So what's bugging me? The power cord. I'm using the stock power cord that came with the Linn and it's kinda, well, stock. To make matters worse the electrical outlet is 8 feet away so I'm using a $4 6' extension cord to plug it in. This, my fellow 'philes, is bugging me. It's been bugging me since I set the system up. I need a 8' power cord that is not stupidly expensive (bear in mind the Linn is $1500) and the set up isn't exceptionally critical. DIY is out of the question, my soldering techniques leave more than a little to be desired. Where can I find a cheap 8'power cord?
