Hello! Great system!
Out of curiosity, have you had success plugging your Karan amp into the Puritan? I have a 300W amp, and have been considering the PSM156, but I'm worried that it might constrain my amp in some way.
Also - very curious to hear if you found any great power cable upgrades for connecting the PSM156 to the wall. The Puritan Ultimate cable seems like the logical first step, but curious to learn from your experience. Happy listening!
