... and yes, perhaps it does sound sweeter when you don't pay for it! I'm grinning from ear-to-ear.Since you're more openly patriotic in your flag-waving than Hergest, I don't have to guess that you're under a different electrical standard from over here. The US receptacles you buy at the store are flimsy pieces of crap--the plugs wobble in their sockets and spark when you unplug them. When you get yourself decent connectors that grip well and don't tarnish, the sound of your hi-fi improves considerably.
Thanks for looking,
