| Alert, Warning, and Caution about Modified Components AND; some that felt neglected, rejected and dejected(perhaps even disconnected), have objected.

| Increasing gain for your vinyl front end when pre-amp doesn't quite have enough juice For a few years, I wrestled with not enough SPLs, from my actively bi-amped system. Everything sounded great. No desire to replace anything upsteam. Just not enough volume to dispel the disbelief/take me there. It came down to swapping my(heavily ... | |
| Why the fascination with subwoofers? Here’s a great vinyl, containing some sustained, 16Hz, pedal notes. They also did a great job of capturing the hall acoustics. It worked nicely, in concert with a Spectrum Analyzer, for testing my woofer cabinets. Much more enjoyable, than Pink No... | |
