| EMI noise If you like, you can treat your player and preamp withEMS Sheets. These are said to absorb/block some of the radiated noise, and are available from Michael Percy Audio.See this link for a rerference:http://www.enjoythemusic.com/magazine/equipment/... | |
| New Tweeters: In or Out of Phase? I've replaced tweeters on several occasions and find that in some cases using a series resistor will increase the impedance and shift the crossover point slightly -more noticeably with higher order networks (such as the 3rd & 4th order filters... | |

| Parasound or Forte Thanks everyone for your responses. I've finallygone with the Forte, which I A/B'd againstthe Parasound and another audiophile amp. The Forte has more top end detail and a deeper soundstage than the Parasound. It sounds better in my setup. Thanks ... | |
