| Akai 747 w/DBX question @johnss "Incidently the Vishays do wonders for MM and MC cart loading positions, but not trying to hi jack the thread. "I am perfectly fine with talking about whatever so it all fits IMO. I think these are all good ideas, and the more I think abou... | |

| Has anyone added a small subwoofer to 2 channel and been thrilled with the result? @casteeb I am a firm believer in subs regardless if its a two channel system or not.
