| What are the smallest speakers that are clean and flat down to 20hz? Wow tostado, a piano tuner! Man, that takes a real good ear and lots of training.

However, that requires your integrated to have pre out and power in jacks. The value of the capacitor will determine ... | |

| New Townshend Rock 7 owner Slaw, your appreciation for the Rock reminds me of why it's been my only table for over twenty years now. It replaced a VPI HW-19 Mk.2, which I liked a lot. The legendary turntable master Brooks Berdan was my go to hi-fi guy, and I was not his onl... | |
