| Upcoming Technics SP-10R (100th Anniversary Model) I spoke to the design engineer - or one of them - at this CES (2018) and I suggested that they made the back right corner of the plinth removable so one can utilize 9" tonearms on the turntable when mounted in a plinth.

| Denon DP-100M Power Issue A relay is a mechanical part and they do wear out over time - the IC is very unlikely to have a intermittent fault. I’d replace the relay if it was me.Best of luckPeter | |

| Full-sounding SS amps (besides Pass) Mitch, The amplifiers are designed to be dedicated mono blocks and most use them as such, there is just the convenience that you can run one as a stereo amplifier. The idea was way back when we started making Amplifiers (1998) that the customer c... | |
| Full-sounding SS amps (besides Pass) Mitch,Pass use Hexfet in the output stages, namely the IRF240/9240 (TO247) these are more of an industrial transistor then one designed specifically for Audio. If one pairs many of them in parallel in an output stage it becomes necessary to use so... | |
