| Modwright PH 9.0X Compared to a Pass Labs XP-15 Could be. Next week I will have time to try and figure it out. | |
| Modwright PH 9.0X Compared to a Pass Labs XP-15 I actually purchased a used Zesto Andros PS2. I am having an issue with excessive noise with the volume at just 10:00 o'clock. Am using the stock JJ tubes. I'm going to connect it to my secondary system to see if the noise persists. Could be... | |
