| Is there a strategy in preamp tube placement? @coachpoconnor Great preamp! It’s on my list to replace an old ARC SP-9mkll. Question, did you get the phono section built in? If so, how does it sound? All the best. JD | |

| After the thrill is gone I’ve had DQ10’s and still have some Acoustat Model X, panel speakers. Last year I bought my first pair of “Box” speakers in years. I like them a lot, but there’s something about open baffle and panel speakers I’m really missing. Haven’t heard th... | |
