| Aleph 3 safe to operate? Not could be it is at least 25 years old a variac would be the best way to go about it but if you're willing to suck it and see just plug it in. | |
| There is no substitute for cubic inch or in this case surface area @andy2 Have you considered pairing a sub with your Thiels? That might solve your problem. | |
| New buy, no return policy inna I think you're missing something here this wasn't an online transaction they OP lives near TMR this was local and delivered and setup. Can't ask for better service than that. I visited TMR when I was in Boulder visiting a friend they were as ... | |
