    Changing all PC's and IC's to ZU Audio.
    The best way to predict the future is to invent it.

    It is imperative that we recognize that an opinion is not a fact.

    I've said it before, and I'll say it again: KEF and NAD have great synergy together.

    Those look profoundly audiophile unapprovable - despite a sticker that says Cables Online. ;)

    Obligatory "only as strong as your weakest link" comment. I personally wouldn't want to use these with a nice aftermarket power cord, for fear that I was degrading the performance of said cord by having something inferior in the path.

    Even I would agree -- although that kind of thinking might lead some more heretical minds to think about the wire that is inside their hifi components... or even (gasp) the PC board traces.

    I will stop now. :)

    Very cool Dave. No issues? You cranked it up yet?

    So I hooked it up to the office rig, via variable line level outputs from the Peachtree. Worked for a hot minute, was getting ready to tune it a bit and it stopped. Power light remains on. What?

    I then decided to connect it to my living room rig via a Rocketfish wireless sub transmitter (currently the Polk DSWi600 is there), via LFE, and same thing. Worked for a hot minute, then nothing.

    I contacted the seller, and he is going to reach out to SVS tomorrow, since it's still under warranty! Ugh, but hopes for a good outcome! :smile:
