| Issues from using wrong spkr. termination acquire solderless WBT bannanas from www.partsexpress.com and re-terminate your speaker wires. | |
| Unshielded Speakers,How Far? yep, Aball, the best way to know is just to see. when unshielded speakers are too close to the TV screen you will see distortions immediately. | |
| What active preamp... I used T2 for the STAX SRM1 headphone driver that I believe less affected by the wire quality. In general I believe that T2 has a great built quality and great plugs but anywhay I use it temporarily to check how it works. I'll definitely brew for ... | |

| Equipment Break-in: Fact or Fiction Thanks, SplutaThis link proves that electric and electronic components wear out within time and break-in time is infinitessimaly measurable.The reliability issues have to be sought for different purpouses whether it's for aircraft, hospital, audio... | |

| What active preamp... Bob, it's adcom gfp750 that is great in passive mode and also has a unity gain, but first i'm not sure how far it brings music from real in active mode... The length of wires adds too much resistance for a 600mV...1V signal.despite having a sencit... | |
| Where to find LP clamps? ...so, you want to find first clamp and than match the turntable??::))Don't go for Sota or VPI clamp that realy can only make the record placement worse than it used to be since they're too heavy.For a proper clamping you need to very slightly cou... | |

Play the music that you will enjoy despite any lack in quality of reproduction. After manufacturer's suggested bre... | |
| What active preamp... ...it's actually more on colouration and bringing the sound away from reality rather than being simply bright that is not neccesarily.with short interconnect runs and sencitive poweramps you can get away with cheap passive pre-amplification that w... |
