    Higher quality APC power cord for Duet?

    Has anyone tried switching out the stock AC power adapter cord that come with the Duet player/receiver, with a higher quality APC cord/adapter?

    From the posts about this Company in this and other Forums, I would stay away from them.

    On the subject of PS upgrades, cords, and so on, there are many posts on this Forum. One is Getting the Best out of New SB3 and there are many others to search. With the help of a new program to track and verify the finding of substituting equipment and accessories, Phil and I have yet to find any Power Supply, Battery, cord, or cable that makes one single bit of difference in the Duet Receiver or SB3 (Classic).

    In conclusion, save your money and just enjoy your music. If you’re serious about upgrading a Duet or Classic, save your money and buy a Transporter or a very nice DAC.

    Stay far away from wellbourne by all means. He is a part time cottage hifi builder part time scammer depending on mood or economical situation. He might deliver stuff or not, it can sometimes work or not. or be half built missing parts ?

    Why not get some rubber garden hose and make your own?

    Theres' a Welborne power supply on Audiogon, so you could avoid dealing ol' Ron by going that route.
