| Capacitor 100uf 630VDC could be a safety coupling cap the drivers at 200hz with 8ohm or 400hz 4ohm. Infinity used to do this to protect their expensive drivers against amps blowing and going DC into them.Cheers George | |

| Tube buffer in tape loop@ I find some 90’s rock sounds a bit harsh and I was considering adding a valve device. I ask you this, why color/soften everything else because of a few bad recordings from the 90’s? Go here and find better releases of the same ones, they all sound... | |
