| Does it make sense? I found it interesting that the component, in my system, calling for the least electricity of my socket(my phono stage @ <2A), exhibited the greatest improvement, through the use of a Hi-Fi Tuning Supreme fuse and an upgraded power cord(Zu Moth... | |
| Does it make sense? YES and NO! You would probably hear an improvement(given the right cords), as everything is incremental, but- the present conditoner will be choke point, for the rest of the system(get a better one). Personally; I wouldn't bother replacing the cor... | |

| What is a minimum room size for 1.7 Maggies? My MG12's do their thing(mains, in a bi-amped system) in an 11X13X8 space. It's all about room treatment & placement(you and them). YES- diffusers behind them, if they're close to the wall. One nice thing: you don't have to worry much about si... | |
| New tubes biasing problems Put the original power tubes back in and see if they will bias properly(if you haven't already used the amp with them). If it turns out to be the new tube; YES- the provider should most definitely replace that tube, with one that matches the rest ... | |
