| How important is S/N Ratio....? Magfan - large dynamic range of 120dB or more is absolutely necessary to reproduce real sound of the large jet planes taking off when I see it on TV. | |
| Plastic female RCA connector What do you mean by plastic? how is it different from "normal"? If it admits male RCA plug then it is normal female RCA socket with a plastic or ceramic isolator between inner an outer metal. There is nothing wrong with plastic - teflon is a plastic. | |
