| How do I eliminate FM interference and low hum? shielded ICs should do the trick.if it doesn't, you'll need to internally shield your preamp. see percyaudio.com and look into the TI shield he sells for @ $28 for 12*12.rhyno | |
| What is the magic behind SET i'm a SS convert to SETs, which on my wilson WP6s should've been a non-starter, but not all SETs are created equally; some can drive real-world loads (which is essential IMO, as those high-sensitivity speakers generally suck IMO), and IMO one shou... | |

| Wilson W/P 6 with Krell 350 MCX ? maybe 9' from front baffle. so yes, room size may very well impact amplifier compatibility.rhyno | |
| Wilson W/P 6 with Krell 350 MCX ? my SET puts out 55wpc into a 4r load, thank you. i've numerous acquaintances who've said they've never heard WPs sound as good as at my place...the amp is why. i've no idea how flat the response curve is; i don't care. it sounds good. (fwiw, rolli... | |

| Removing Hairline Scratches on Equipment better still, unscrew a faceplate and treat the underside.rubbing compound (used to buff cars) should work nicely. works well if you can use a high speed orbital sander (w/ buffing attachment) on the component, otherwise you'll likely need swirl r... | |
| Amplifiers:A Keeper for Life.
