| Footers- Break In? Such A Change. I actually use real ravioli for my footers and find that the stuffed ones add that certain magic. And if you use the real ones, there is zero break in time. | |

| How Hot is Too Hot - Diablo 300 - Hell Hath Some Fury…! Am also in South Florida and run hot gear (First Watt M2 and tube monoblocks), but with a constant 72 degrees. I have found that low 70s vs high 70s makes a big difference in amp temps and would give Gryphon a call. You don't want to burn that pup... | |
