RE: Power cord for Vandersteen 5A's

...so I got the Cardas connectors fitted and wired. I had to sand down the right side of the plug. I removed the shrouding, and removed the wire attachment clips (didn't want the dirt from the sandpaper getting on it..... and with coarse sandpaper, I removed a few mm of plastic. (about 40 minutes of sanding). I then reinstalled the connecting clips, attached the Neotech cable, used heavy tape to eliminate a shock hazard, held my breath, and plugged it into the wall. SUCCESS..... What is interesting to me is that the Vandersteen amp just drives the sub section, yet, the whole speaker cleaned up. More air, faster percussion, clarity of voices,....much better. Although its a pain, I would recommend any Vandersteen owners to upgrade their power cords. Certainly worth it.
