What power cord did you go with? Audio Advisor decided to give me expedited shipping for no cost, I requested free shipping which is 7-10 days but out of no where the tracking number said it's arriving in two days. So I didn't have time to pick out and buy a power cord online, just going to run to the radio shack for a cheap one for now so I have it to use when it comes in tomorrow.

Once i bought an amp and as a bonus they gave me a DHLABS power chord what i can say is dont waist your money on a boutique power chord to me there was no difference i needed one not to long ago paid $15.00 and it works great .

Yeah my plan is just to buy something durable. I'm not into the whole magical, voodoo type stuff. I spend money on something that can last a good thrashing. (not saying I'm going to be going out using it as a weapon or anything.)

Also for anyone interested I'm taking temperature readings with a infrared thermometer just for the hell of it.
These are all done with stock tubes and 2 hours of being on.
 
Everything is done in Fahrenheit 
Top of rectifier tube is 206.6, middle is 186.5, bottom is 151.1
Top of driver tube is 301.1, middle is 246.6, bottom is 124.3
The heat sink is at 91.2
Bonus: Volume knob is 87.8

Wow. I've had my AMP and EL-8s for a few weeks now and I drastically underestimated the change sonically that occurs through breaking these babies in!!! Honestly everything is starting to open up...Just went through my 45rpm Dave Brubeck Take Five and I can almost FEEL the music...if that makes any sense. Not much point to this post just wanted to let any new purchasers out there know that this baby gets better with every hour :)
