| Explanation for Class G amplifier heat differences between phono source & others? Thanks Kijanki! I'll watch it closely to see if I made a mistake in my observations. | |
| Where is the weakest link in my system? Jafant,I'm using generic cabling. For the loudspeakers, I'm using good quality in-wall 14gauge wire from monoprice. The digital coaxial cable is some $20 model. My turntable has the original Roksan tonearm wire--it's DIN to RCA and not thin ju... | |
