People didn’t get it because you didn’t make it clear what you were tr... | |
| Blew both ribbon tweets ? Please help 🐒 Amp oscillation is my first guess. Overdriven and not enough HF filter protection, at least 12db more like 18db minimum. But two tweeters.Oscillation is more likely.No fuses in the speakers right?Regards | |

| Tube and Solid state Most of the current Mac gear (C and MX series) has an A/B along with a fixed output for a tape monitor or pass through. You can split the outputs like spatialking suggested also.. I use both methods.Regards | |

| What do "audiophiles" use to judge equipment? I trust my dealer too, I bought a Rolex for just 75.00 buck MORE. Great watch. I traded my Rolex for his Rolex, he told me it was a step up.. I only paid 12k for my Rolex. I wonder why the second hand keeps going tick tick tick...:-)Regards | |
