Review of Michael Wolff Carbon Ribbon Source power
Five days ago, I put the source version of this power cord into my system based on a three week home demo offer. Today I bought the cord. There is no way that I am taking that cord out of my stereo system. I faced it off against an Omega Mikro Act...
