The wall has always sounded better for amplifiers. I even tried a high end power conditioner made for amps… also wo... | |
| Service After the Sale What about switching from email to telephone after a day. | |
| Any point in upgrading stock cables for a LPS? Yes. | |
| To condition or not ? I’d give them a call and ask for more info. It sure seems like an odd thing to say. We are just going to be taking wild guesses. Of course, ultimately it depends on what it sounds like. My turntable manufacturer recommend not placing vibrati... | |
| Mains Power Cable DIY In this case find a source of 10 gauge 3 conductor wire and get high quality connectors for each end. Before I was able to add another 10 guage direct line, this is what I used. It takes some effort to get the wire and connectors to fit it, as thi... | |
