Might be a good SD TV but it's only  1024 x 768, keep it and stick it in the kids room.Cheers George 
Rolling KT150s in Primaluna hp integrated
Had anyone who owns one of these bothered to check with the manufacture about heater current draw on the heater circuit of the amp?As 4 x EL34's draw 6amps, but 4 x KT150's can draw 8amps, this is enough increase to cook and damage things over a p... 
Using cooling fan on Mark Levinson 532h
lnitm Always good to keep it in a cool environment. Looking at this, it would be better if the amp got the cool air flow through the bottom vents, as hot air rises and would then exit out the top vents.https://www.stereophile.com/images/811levi...

From what I quickly looked at, these sample circuit (ML334) post are next to useless as they’re incomplete.Cheers George 
RCA Shorting Plugs
shorting unused inputs **can only be advantageous, even if only theoretical** (electrical theory). This is pure BS, because if they’re not used they are not connected to any active amplification circuitry!!The only advantage they have is to keep... 
RCA Shorting Plugs
If it’s not used why switch to it?? And negative affect to what??Cheers George 
RCA Shorting Plugs
Buy switching to an unused input your subjecting the input first active stage to an open circuit. The simple fix is not to switch to it, if it’s not used.By putting blanking/shorting plugs on the unused inputs doesn’t make the used inputs sound an... 
Schiit Reference Sytem review: Freya into Yggdrasil, into Vidar
I would have mono’d them but they’re not rated to 4 Right, bridging amps into mono is a hoax, all you gain is more wattage, everywhere else it takes a hit. Less damping factor (higher output impedance), higher distortion, less current ability int... 
Waiting on 802D3 to arrive -- Will I need a sub?
brycethomason   Waiting on 802D3 to arrive -- Will I need a sub? Not if you have an amp that can really push some high current into the bass, which has that demanding impedance/phase curve between 70hz to 1khz, especially at 70hz with 4ohm and...

Lightspeed Attenuator - Best Preamp Ever?
Anyone who wants a used late model Lightspeed Attenuator, one has popped up very cheap here for $250aud which equates to $196usd and I know it only costs around $40 post to send as I send heaps to the US.https://www.stereo.net.au/forums/topic/2413... 
McIntosh MC275
ceborg999 I recently purchased a used MC275 but the tubes are very dim. Just measure the heater voltage, should be 6.3v. If it’s close don’t worry, some tube (brands) have different intensity heater glow.Cheers George
