I do not dislike Power Poles and use them for many cords around my station. The problem is that my K3 is fed from the power supply using large (stiff) diameter conductors. Brushing up against these can cause them to disconnect from the K3. If the K3 is powered up, this can result in the K3 going off to never-never land which requires a special, and not well documented, procedure to
get it running again. I think the K3 needs a better connector here.

Not a flame just a simple power pole observation.

Never had a problem, never fallen out (K2, K3, XV50) even when tugging units around, soldered not crimped, no $40. crimper, not colour blind so arranged the cable and connectors to match the equipment.

Each to his own I guess.
