@ctsooner thanks for the info about wall-sockets. I may get around to switching my Cruze to AQ, based on your comments. Possibly might also upgrade my Tornado, although I was a little confused by your remark that the difference between Thunder and Tornado is not subtle, while the Hurricane-Thunder may be on some systems. I guess you're aware that Tornado is the product in between Hurricane and Thunder? No matter...the Tornado sounds great. Here's the strange part....
On my system I have the Tornado from wall to Niagara 1000. My integrated Belles amp seems to sound better plugged into one of the regular inputs on the Niagara, rather than the dedicated power input. The power input sounds slightly bloated in the bass. So far I've had the Tornado plugged into the Niagara for about 250 hours, playing music for about 20 hours. Another question - when yo guys are talking about burn in time, are you speaking about music-playing or simply connected to powered components?
