As through as your amp review is not having completely broken in the 160.5's will leave questions about them and the entire review.... If Nelson says use the supplied cords he has a reason. |

It was meant to be a fun little review prior to me moving my Classe downstairs (for that system) and selling my 2301's - nothing more. I don't get paid for this. It's for fun and I my made all possible disclaimers up front - including the hours on the new amps. It's not possible for me to wait 200 hours for the new amps to be fully broken in as I'm moving amps today. That 200 hour number is purely arbitrary anyway - it could be 100 hours or 400 hours - we really don't know.
If you have a differing review with the same amps, I would be interested to read it. Otherwise, this was meant to be fun and I did my best. I'm sorry I disappointed you. |

I suspect this is for protection against any liabilities should an issue occur with the amps and 3rd party PCs. I believe Nelson Pass to be a brilliant designer, but a better PC results in even more Pass goodness.

I recall talking with Reno about recommended power cords and they repeated the same factory cord suggestion. However, they said they had received LOTS of calls about cables/cords and should be testing them to help answer these questions. Probably a liability thing and the stock cords are decent as far as stock cords go. |
