MRHP recently installed a IEC on his SD/A-490t and with some tips from him I did my SD/A-390t today. My new power cord didn't arrive yet so I'll be using a extra PC cable untill it gets here. I post the sonic results when I get the new cable. Here is a pic.

That looks real nice, I purchased the parts to do mine Sunfire Tube Pre and Silver Sevens about
3 months ago. Still has not been started.
Are you or Eric up for a road trip

LOL!!! I would love to take a road trip to hang out and enjoy your system. I wouldn't dare try to mod your Silver Seven! I would be too worried about messing up!

No problem as long as I can shipping collect? with prepaid return shipping. Remember they weigh 145lbs each mono block.
If I get my arse in gear, I just might have them done by the new year

I ordered another Silver High Breed Epitome cable but what I will probably do is take the Shunyata Venom 3 I have off my preamp put it on my cd player and put the Silver High Breed on the preamp.
