The mains cable comes with only the one type of termination (the 3 prong US type).
Peete.
General announcement:
PS : Tyson's estimate of 400 hours for Audio-gd gear is what I would call the base minimum hours required for a settled unit. My findings push this hour estimate closer to 600 hours until complete settling (with the Compass only, the RE1 for instance may take at least 1000 hours but that is just an educated guess).
More detailed observations WRT Compass burn in will be included in Part III of my review which will be posted this week sometime. Part IV evaluations will then commence. Part V requires me to send my test unit back for upgrade (to evaluate the new features and settings not covered in the first 3 parts) but I'll cross that bridge when I come to it.
Congrats to all the members that have received their Compass combo's thus far. Just remember guys the Compass will go through a number of changes over the next 2 weeks (assuming you leave it on 24/7 for that time period). The faster you get to 400+ hours the faster you'll be reaching that point where the Compass gives you consistent performance. As always these observations are IMO. YMMV
