| Cross-talk and distortion, chief soundstage contributors... Staying within the scope of your tiny little window, amplifiers only, crosstalk isn’t hardly even relevant. This would be different of course if there were amplifiers with huge amounts of crosstalk. But that’s the thing. Crosstalk per se is only r... | |

| can i use a car amp in home I ran this through my home audio decoder ring and it came out buy a Sears Die Hard. I thought that can't be right. Is Sears even still around? So I fixed a few spelling errors and then it came out buy a Dayton SA-1000. They're on sale. Killer pric... | |
| Gaining listening experience without spending money I do agree that one can enjoy the hobby without a ton of cash, however, to be able to say I like this amp over that one is more achievable with more financial means, but I am all ears on why I am wrong. You’re wrong because you don’t need any mone... | |

| How does a vintage turntable compare to what is available today? Once the bearing, motor, and tone arm are reasonably good quality then from that point on the vast majority of the difference is tuning.
