| Preamp choices:Short list Hello Jim,I used the Rouge RP7 with a pair of Esoteric MG20 speakers. These are not bass heavy speakers. But they are very good detailed speakers that physically disappeared when played through the Rouge RP7. What I was very excited about was it b... | |

| Recommendation for a replacement speaker cable I do have a great question?if it is better to use shorter speaker cable say two meters in an unbraided wire. Isn’t it worse to buy a braided wire due to more wire length? Disregard the point of what the braid does to cut down noise. | |
| Recommendation for a replacement speaker cable Hello,I actually biwire. I use Analysis 12 ga wire for the bass and the Theater 4 which is four 16 ga wires to the tweeters.

| Inexpensive MM Cartridge Hello,Nagaoka MP110. Look this up. Spend the rest on a Shiit Audio Mani phono preamp. If you ever decide to upgrade sell it as a whole TT setup. If you would like you can buy the cart mounted on the head shell. I have this as my AT LP120 setup. Ri... | |
| Subwoofers with current source First Watt? Hello,I own two REL T 9s. If the amp is differential, linear balanced you only connect the positive red, yellow, or both for more power to the amp. It is bad for the amp to use the neg or black wire. The best is to call Pass. If you have one sub( ... | |
