| Will an external soft start device limit current? Why are you getting them . . . I mean, what is the purpose? Are they "soft starts," or VTL Pod Mods?I used the VTL Pod Mods for awhile on MB-450's when I had them. I think they are designed more to protect your electrical circuit than the amps. I ... | |

| Is Digital actually better than Analog? Digital is about convenience, not musicality. LP is a compromise, too . . . more convenient than reel-to-reel tape, but still -- analog. Human beings are analog. Human beings are not digital.Digital is a broken stairstep; analog is a continuous cu... | |
