| Deoxit for cables I got I got that same kit... the 5ml vial. Note that you need to add 99% isopropyl alcohol to it to dilute it, 4 to 1. The stuff in the little 5ml vial is pretty thick. | |

| Integrateds: Why do they all SUCK? +1 @chayro I was thinking the same thing.... and I agree with you 100%Many integrated amps only have passive attenuation, such as voltage divider networks, which i really don't care for. I tried many times to go passive, e.g. with LDRs, transform... | |
| Who has heard the new Pass XA25? +1 @cal3713 I'd love to hear some impressions of the XA25, especially how it compares / differs sonically to an FirstWatt F7, or a good SET amp, like the 300b based Coincident Franks, which I happily run now! | |
