| Curious about your opinions new Pass Amps vs... I will check it out...thank you both. Anyone else who could add some info would be greatly appreciated. | |
| Brass screw tweak, seen in Virtual Dynamics video. I used "brass" screws instead of the oh so typical steel bolts that we are all so accustomed to seeing on Mrs Frankensteins neck, on my wife...and I must admit, her shrieks were almost tolerable. NOW THATS A TWEAK!!! | |

| Gamut D200 Mrk II hum/buzz issue I was reading you post earlier Drubin...thank you for your time. Unfortunately for me, its not mechanical...the damn noise comes out of the speaker. Its not very loud...but annoying when you know it should not be there. | |
