Classe' amps

Gentleman, I appreciate you imput. I agree that no one wants to fall into "The Audio Abyss" of diminishing return. I plan on keeping the Classe' for a long time.As long as any of us keep anything in this illness known as Audio Insanity.

I own a Classe 70 and probably will try to find a DR-9 or DR-3 to upgrade to sometime. I have noticed that my amp is really sensitive to the power from the outlet. It is picky about powercords, is susceptible to hum and sounds much better at night. Classe amps are good for driving low impedance, insensitive speakers and are smoother sounding than a lot of other SS amps. Auditioning my speakers at a dealer I listened to a Classe 300, an NAD silverline amp, and a pair of tall Levinson monoblocks. I much preferred the Classe. NAD was too bleached out, Levinson was decent, but boring.

Has anyone found a particular power cord that works well with the Classe 15 or the DR6? I've tried a few aftermarket brands but wasn't convinced that they did anything better (different,
yes... better, I don't know).

I do not know if they still do but, Classe used to have an upgraded power cord. That would probably be a safer bet than an aftermarket cord.

I own a Classe CA 300 amp which is powerful and wonderfully smooth. Also had good luck with the CP 47.5 and CDP 1.5.

Power Cord: I believe the Classe upgraded power cord which came with my CA 300 is in fact a Cardas Golden Cross power cord. (This could be verified through Classe.) I've also had good luck with Silver Audio interconnects/speaker cables. Silver Audio has a highly regarded power cord, which might be of interest.
