Of course, al... | |

| Holy Moly Blu-Ray Disc Players below $300 The Sony BDP-S300/S301 is an absolute piece of garbage. It's not worth even the reduced price. If you're looking for a relatively low-cost stand-alone Blu-ray player, the Sharp BD-HP20U is a much better machine for about the same price.FYI I own b... | |

| 20amp IEC connector with a 15amp plug PC? ?? You guys are making a mountain out of a molehill. The reason some 15A audio equipment is using the C19 connector is exactly as I said previously - because it's a more solid connection.

| What power cord are you using on your Vandy 5A's I've tried a few cords on my Vandersteen 5As. Used the stock cords, then built a modified version of the Asylum cords.
