    The answer to my question has been answered, it has the removable ground pin.

    "Different power cords make my gear sound differently"

    Well the head to head shoot out has begun. Now mind you, this is using my NAD T773 avr for the time being until I get the Krell KAV 250a amp back next Sat.

    Two distinct sounds, both very enjoyable. This might just be a tough call. But once the Krell amp is thrown into the mix I expect things to take on a new twist.

    Keep guessing, hell I'm not even sure!!! LOL!!!

    Sorry folks, but I won't be getting the amp back until around the new year. The damage was a bit excessive. Parts had to be ordered directly from Krell & with the time for repairs it's just taking a bit longer than I had hoped for.

    The CJ/Krell head to head shoot out to sellle the winner of the karma will be back on very shortly!! Again, sorry about the delay.

    Cool karma.

    Different power cords make my gear sound differently.

    I'm thinking CJ, but it's a close one.

    As I was responding to a PM sent to me by Phil (Pearsall001) an idea came to my head. I was going to offer the power cord as a Karma sometime around Christmas but have decided to offer it linked to a contest.

    Requirements:

    100 posts

    The statement: "Different power cords make my gear sound differently" must be included

    You must correctly predict Phil's preference in his upcoming preamp shootout (CJ vs. Krell) in order to qualify (so Phil you better get that amp fixed soon or this could drag out:)). One post per person of course.

    The winner will be determined by drawing a post number out of a hat (or something else if I can't find a hat:)). If everything is correct you will be sent the PC. If you do not like the PC I ask that you offer a Karma and pass it along to a fellow Polker.

    Phil, just before you give us your review, I ask that you post your preference in this thread, which will then close the contest.

    Thanks,
    Mike

    The CJ/Krell preamp shoot out is back on. I'm picking up my Krell KAV 250a this Friday. Stephen says it's better than new. Guess away!!!

    Phil has requested more time in his decision so we have decided to call it a draw between the 2 preamps. I will now conduct the draw for the PC!
