| ++++StereoPhile Class A components+++++ Why do you think it is an 'interesting choice of words?' It is in reference to an earlier post about the conditions for not confining me to quarters. | |

| 2ch to 1ch... Stereo to Mono issues. My SF Line3 has a mono switch which maintains 6dB of channel separation to minimize phase cancellation and puts the mono(!) output on both channels. Works well. | |
| 2ch to 1ch... Stereo to Mono issues. There are two issues. One is that there is signal cancellation of anything that is out-of-phase in the two (stereo) channels. There being nothing out-of-phase between the two mono sides, there is no cancellation and the resulting signals are loude... | |
| Luxman 441 vs. Technics SL-1200mk2 as first TT? I agree about the Luxman/SME combo as the most attractive. However, as someone who has bought a 441 and a 444 by mail in the past 2 years only to have them both delivered with damaged main bearings, I would only buy one in person. Even the origina... | |
