Hi,
In the usual hifi way I feel the need to tweak for no good reason. I'd like to change the power cable (being the only tweakable accessory) but that access area looks very narrow.
Has anyone had any success with changing the power cable and can wattgate plugs fit?
Thanks.

Yeah I am using my own custom cable with UK plug. Not much you can tweak apart from that.

Thanks, but what kind of IEC plug are you using? My concern is that the more bulbous ones (like wattgate) won't fit.
And did you hear *any* difference in sound with your custom?

Just using normal IEC type plugs. Wattgate might fit if you don't use ethernet or optical. I don't have a wattgate cable to try. Probably someone else can attest. Bass is tighter after switching to my custom cable.

I use viard mains cables throughout my system. To ensure the "lids" will close on my D400's, I use a slim 3 pin connector. Wattgates or similar wont fit as they are too large
