Great experience with audio society and local tech
hilde45:   Are you having the power amps upgraded or the preamp?   From your last OP on the QS's I learned of the TDK volume pots, and if you end up installing one I'm interested in your take (VS the ALPS that I assume is stock).   Also - pe...

Adding a “safe haven” forum for discussion of tweaks?
I was under the impression that this is a discussian forum. If someone goes overboard (outside the posting rules - either way on the "tweak thing", or anything else) the posts are usually deleted is seems. I've read comments here that certain pr...
