Do prefer a black or silver faceplate?

Help with Belles 350a
"Listened to the source through some headphone(Audible Illusions L1. All to no success.So, I'm a little confused here. Did it work with headphones or not? If it didn't, it has nothing to do with the amp. The headphone stage is totally independent ... 
Roxio 'Easy' LP to MP3

"So if I used the record out ,I would just have to control the volume from the sub each time?"Yes. You would have to use the volume on the Brio R to the speakers, then match the sub's volume to that. So you would be using (2) volume controls in th...
