| To Plug Power Amps Direct in to Wall or Not ?? If my budget allowed I might likely have each amp plugged into a pair of Isoclean isolation transformers instead of directly into the wall, based upon what they do for the front end. Otherwise I advise against anything else, as soundstage and dyna... | |
