Thanks Shinytoys, I'll check out the mod.
Barrysandy - Regarding upgrades...no that's not all, I'm replacing my analog front end. I want to protect my investment and have clean power without sacrifice...actually clean power and improved sound go hand-in-hand if you get it right. There's a lot of power solutions that get it wrong. Trying to avoid that.
I've been asleep while the what's-new-in-audio has been passing me by, because I don't stay in touch until I'm ready to upgrade again. For me, that's every ten to twenty years.
After spending my budget on my new front end, I'm just wondering if my Power Wedge 116 is okay and will improve with a decent power cord...at least not detract from the sound.
