| Bi wiring advice I've repaired my AQ's missing spade lug. But since my AQ is a single bi-wire set (apparently I lose the benefit of magnetically isolating the condoctors) I'm running both of the AQ's +ve lugs to the speaker's +ve LF post and both -ve lugs to -ve L... | |

| Best upgrade option for this system? Audio Research seems to be coming up as another interesting tube preamp option for my Bryston 3B ST. I've seen references to the LS-3 on A-Gon, but when I look further, there are good reviews on the LS-15 and 16. I also saw references to SP series... | |
