| L-Pads. Speakers Awful Without Them, New Ones Ordered atmasphere You mentioned this before, L-Pads are for the amp, not the drivers.I don’t understand. Right or Wrong?L-Pads, like any pot in a receiver, volume, balance, bass, treble determine how much juice, more or less, i.e. each one a signal stren... | |
| L-Pads. Speakers Awful Without Them, New Ones Ordered lewmI value and learn from your knowledge and advice, (even if I don’t take it). Sometimes I can anticipate your reaction, which is why I specifically said no to resistors in original post which you caught the second time.Another thing you missed,... | |
| L-Pads. Speakers Awful Without Them, New Ones Ordered I think, 'Functionally/Flexibility' L-Pads, especially a good one, is better,Because they have alway sounded great, adjusted for 3 different spaces over the years, I would never sacrifice future flexibility for supposed/measured perfection. | |

| Looking for a tube Preamp new or used for under $2000... I LOVE my McIntosh mx110z Tube Tuner/Preamp. I would replace it in a heartbeat if it died.The z version has gone up in price, a bit over your budget max.Earlier version, mx110 (has black horizontal volume control) is less money, also highly praise... | |

Not sophisticated testing, but enough to give confidence in any NEW or USED tube: no short; decent strength; for pairs, essentially same location in the ’go... |
