"Cracked Rear View"

Choosing a Good Phono Pre for a Rega RP-1 with a Denon DL-110.
There is an Audio Research factory sealed PH-6 on AudiogoN right now for $2100.  That's an incredible buy for this unit.  If you really want to spend that kind of money that would be my recommendation. (No relation to the seller, just a TERRIFIC p...

15A vs. 20A power cord questions

Do I really need Desoldering for replacing resistors/caps?
