Help - Thorens TD-145 Auto Shut Off Engages Immediately
I think what they mean is you loosen the two allen screws and you can twisted its pivot so that the anti skating dial is facing a slightly different direction, and that will change the auto shut-off position. If so, how do I figure out what is t...

My Luxman Integrated has AC Inlet Envy
The transformer may be 20 gauge but the fuse is 15A. Interesting, 15A fuse for a 110Wx2 amplifier! No soft start circuit?

Very nice! 👍👍 What is the transformer specs? Would you tell us more about the soft start circuit? TIA    
McIntosh MC901's internal active crossover & speaker's internal passive crossover
A biwirable speaker provides a separate path for lo and hi frequencies, but they are still joined electrically at the xover. @cleeds  Would you post some example what make and model of speakers that is bi-wirable but not bi-ampable? TIA

Sadly the cord used from the power board to the inlet, about 8" long is 20 gauge. Kind of disappointing honestly, but probably exactly to spec. The choice of a Molex Spox connector I believe limits the maximum gauge to 18 anyway, so assuming I di...

Wattgate Connector Measurements
Although the pin is 12mm length, I think the clip 6mm from the surface is a little too much, 2-3mm is more reasonable, IMO.🤔 @erik_squires  I think I'm wrong about that! Seems 6mm from the surface is quite common.        
Benchmark AHB2 amp - what speaker connectors are used….
@firstonetallguy and @ditusa , thanks in fact I was still surprised when I felt that spade connector slide in. @thomastrouble , I agree that those clear plastic covers is difficult to see the slot on the bottom of the binding posts. I should h...

Ground goes on top. 😀 Unlike AC Receptacles, IEC 60320 inlets can install in any orientation, some Marantz and Denon even put it sideways.😀

What I’m feeling is the pin grip mechanism keep it from accepting the full width of an IEC pin. From what I can see from a clear casing Wattage, its spring clips are deeper form the surface compare to others in the market. That could be a probl...
