I already have Belton sockets waiting to be put in my preamp. Didn't go gold plated route because of the pros and cons of using disimilar metals (steel tube pins vs socket gold contacts.) Plus I do regular maintenance on pins and sockets, so don't really need the anti-tarnishing gold plating.
The other thing about the Beltons is the grip. I'd put money on me being able to lift my old ARC D70 by gripping the signal tubes, so snug they are.
Once I find out what bridge rectifiers I have in my CD transport, I'll do some research as well as posting here best route to go. An integrated rectifier or naked diodes.
Hopefully I'll get some advice here.
Won't be until the New Year though. The transport will be off warranty then. Probably wouldn't be able to get to it any sooner anyways!
I replacing the hardwired stock cords on my preamp and amp with "knock off" Oyaide plugs and "knock off" Acrolink cable. It's all I can afford at the moment.
Been happy with the Oyaides before. Though the only other brand I've used is Marinco. So we're not talking super high end here.
DH Labs power plus has always been my "goto" cable. Time to try something different. Admittedly the Acrolink is a "knockoff". We'll see how it goes. Budget keeps my choices limited.
Cheers!
