| Least expensive plug-in power conditioner that works Furman PST-8 currently on sale from various vendors for $130. I'm using one with the little computer mini-system rig and also (a week ago) added the iMac itself when our 20+ year old big APC unit conked out. I'll pick up another one and dedicate... | |

| Shorting plugs I made shorting plugs for the unused inputs of 2 battery powered stereo phono preamps (used as mono's) and the improvement in SQ was easy to judge/hear. The parts cost from RadioShack was well less than $1 per unit and the assembly time was appr... | |

| 8 ohm nominal impedance/4.69 ohm minimal impedance--is this a bad load (on paper)? Phase angle is another spec to consider (aside from impedance) as the combo can make or break an amp. Stereophile seems to measure both in the reviews I've read. DeKay | |
| Why are high efficiency speakers preferred for low volume listening? High efficiency plus some type of loudness contour is the ticket if you want to listen @ really low SPL's. I've used the loudness contour in a few Quad SS preamps (33/34) and in a few Yamaha SS integrated amps with JBL S99's and Altec VOTTS. At ... | |
