Holy Moly Blu-Ray Disc Players below $300
The Sony BDP-S300/S301 is an absolute piece of garbage. It's not worth even the reduced price. If you're looking for a relatively low-cost stand-alone Blu-ray player, the Sharp BD-HP20U is a much better machine for about the same price.FYI I own b...

20amp IEC connector with a 15amp plug PC? ??
You guys are making a mountain out of a molehill. The reason some 15A audio equipment is using the C19 connector is exactly as I said previously - because it's a more solid connection. First I would bet the cord is not listed by UL or any other re...

Why are there no high end cheater plugs?
Tbg - my concern is not for you. It's clear that your mind is made up, that you have crystallized your lack of knowledge, and that you will not be swayed by any facts that counter your opinion.Bill Whitlock is not ignoring anything - you are. You ...

Help Do I have fake van den Hul Mainsstreams?
Rwwear - I'm a bit confused by your post. Why do you say that it would be "nearly impossible" for a poorly constructed electrical power cord to damage equipment or cause electrocution? 
What power cord are you using on your Vandy 5A's
I've tried a few cords on my Vandersteen 5As. Used the stock cords, then built a modified version of the Asylum cords. I noted a slight increase in the attack of bass notes, with a slight reduction of decay. Tried Shunyata Venom cords - even more ...
