Power Cord Possibilities

[prepress]

In my battle against cable clutter, I've had an idea. I hooked up my VPI 'table directly to the C2300 originally, but abandoned that due to the fact that I was impatient to break in the tubes and knew I'd use the line stage far more than the phono section. Plus, I had to fill in empty shelves on my racks, right? So the phono preamp went back in.

Now, it occurs that if I put the phono into the 2300 I will be able to eliminate one power cord and one pair of interconnects. Plus, I could even take out two shelves. Time to do some sample reconfig diagrams, before I start unplugging or pulling stuff out of the system though. One friend already doesn't like the idea; she says things are nice and balanced as is. I attached a current configuration photo from a few months back, and one with the 12TC in place to see how that looks.
