    Hey, when Kex isn't around, someone needs to do the noble work.

    Is that one of the 12 steps?

    Not sure. I'm billbillw, not Bill W. You'd have to ask someone who is a friend of Bill W.

    I think it is actually plural; i.e., one Kek, two Kex.

    Y'all should see the connector that Boulder amps require. It's HUGE!

    .....coming from a 15 amp C-13 that plugs into the wall. There are things in audio that one just cannot explain.

    In all fairness....The MF PS I have does the same daggum thing. C-13 at the wall, yet a C-19 at the input. Say what? Cray-cray, if you ask me....

    Looks like it's basically a stove cord? 32 amp so probably running a 50 Amp circuit?

    Ah ok, many amps that require 30 amps or more offer compromise versions that work on 15 and 20 amp circuits but they don't perform near as well and suffer at resale

    Here's my beef, Trey...

    If you are gonna build it? Well, freakin' BUILD IT!!!

    If something requires 30 amps? Well, make the plug that goes into the wall reflect that. Same daggum thing with a 20A amp. Who cares if it kills sales. This is already a niche hobby. The people who buy 30-50A amps? They are WELL beyond a C-13 (15A plug) and usually have dedicated circuits already installed in anticipation of said system (if the room wasn't already built specifically for it!)

    Just sayin'...

    Now to be fair, a 20amp cable using a 15 Amp c13, the plug itself is rated for many more amps than 15 so it doesn't make sense for manufactures to make a plug with a sideways pin

    Waaaaay too much slack in that chain, but I see he's running one of those newfangled steel belted radials. Dude is missing his air intake ducts (hole in the fairing under his left hand grip). Looks like an ex-race bike; frame sliders, access bolts for a rear jack stand, aftermarket rearsets....what a complete POS
