The reason for my question is that if it's after he accepted Paul's offer, that would tell me about how open minded Frank is in regard to this experiment, if it was before his offer, well, then that was why Paul made the offer to Frank in the first place.
Frank was never shy in voicing his beliefs on cables.
Rob, here was the 1st time he brought up the subject back on Dec 12:
Mel-
Frank choose to make my private comments about the power cord and the Hafler public.
I spent $160. on shipping to try his amp and put over 300 hours on it before sending it back.
Like I said, all I want now is a prompt refund.
Aloha,
Dan
Cheers,
Robin
Robin- Once again you're wrong, it was Frank who first posted this on 12/12/08:
"Inasmuch as the first correspondence I had from jhm731 after shipping him the amplifier was a concern that it had a captive power cord and that our web site did not caution everyone that our equipment does have captive power cords, I had a bad feeling about this one immediately."
He went on to offer the amp I had just returned, for sale, a week before I received a refund.
Good luck to Paul, if he thinks someone who tells his customers that changing power cables is "pure audiophlake foo foo dust," is going to change his mind.
Wayner - I'm still waiting for you to provided details about all the "potential problems and other weird manifestations,"
from using IEC connectors and after market power cords.
I've been using using equipment with IEC connectors and after market/DIY power cords for 20+ years and never had problem.
Hau'oli Makahiki Hou!
