Experience or something else?What about 1k or less, would that be alright?Virtually every claim made by a cable manufacturer about what their cable does is easily proven with current measurement t... | |

| How far over the limit can I go You can wait till your amp sounds lifeless, but ARC state 2000hrs, idling, with music, it does not matter. Start thinking of re tubing. Better safe than sorry. | |
