I purchased a new Audio Refinement Complete Int amp in Sept and found that the cord that came with it was not well shielded and was causing interference with my tuner reception. I did not want to spend a lot on a cord and while I was tempted by the Absolute Power Cord, I am skeptical about some of their claims and I am not sure they offer a right of return. I ended up getting a Volex 14 gauge cord which is the same cord that Belden used to make. I think the model# is 17604 or something like that. If you search the forums here and on Audio Asylum, you will learn more. I bought two of them which I believe cost me around $40 including shipping. My radio interference went away. I did not get a night and day improvement in sound, but it certainly did no harm. I have gotten more benefits from changing speaker cables and interconnects. I am not sure what type of improvement you are trying to achieve, but I will offer that the Audio Refinement would not be my first choice to drive revealing electrostatic speakers. It is very competitive with solid state amps up to and beyond it's price range but it does not have the characteristics of good tube amps. I am using it with far less revealing and demanding speakers than yours (B&W DM602s2) and it works fine, particularly for backround music which is its primary role. I also have a young child and cannot devote as much time and effort to audio as a hobby anymore.
