I thought I would put the displaced WW Electra 7 on the 88FD, so I switched out the WW Stratus 7 two days ago. Today, I thought I'd watch something and test the sound to see if it was different. I turned on the system, but the 88 wouldn't come on. Sure enough, the same WW Electra that wouldn't hold on the C2300 also wouldn't hold on the 88FD; it's even looser there, and horizontally to boot. After a couple of minutes of struggling with the Electra, I put the Stratus 7 back.
Even though the 88FD is a two-prong IEC device, the lack of grip was a disappointing surprise. The Stratus has no problem, so I don't know what to make of this. I think perhaps I've had enough, though.
