| BELLES 250i INTEGRATED AMPLIFIER Strange you haven't gotten a response. Have you checked your Spam folder?Bob | |
| Speaker level EQ Though using a line out converter might work, it seems like another thing in the way of the music. And, I don't see how you will be able to focus on a single frequency to adjust.I would PM Johnny Rutan (audioconnection) and get his take. He knows ... | |
