Too terminate or not
Also, I don't know if its really possible to be too terminate. I mean, it has to end somewhere, right?

LP's: the measure of off-centre record spindle holes ?
I think we all know how painful that can be.

So you have a great hi end stereo preamp, but
There's plenty of products known to improve sound merely being plugged into an outlet. So we know for a fact things plugged in can affect the sound quality of other things that are plugged in. You seem to think this is a one-way street. That thing... 
Nobsound springs - load range
Must be jelly, jam don't move like that.
