| Amp repair cost — is this right? I replaced around 45 caps with Nichicons, a few resistors and two bridge rectifiers in my Threshold T-200 for less than 100.00 in parts from Mouser and Digikey. | |
| Can I use 24 gauge speaker cable? Actually you would need a bigger amp because the wire would have so much resistance it would burn up a lot of power and probably get hot. If you could quadruple the wire it would be fine. | |

| How do I stop the Humming from my LP12? It should be on the tonearm cable. If not add one the chassis or tonearm. There should be a screw someplace you can loosen and wrap a wire around. | |
| Subwoofer insight. The Speakon connectors on REL subs may be superb but they are still just old timey high level speaker jacks underneath the pomp and circumstance. | |
| Subwoofer insight. Speakon connectors are just speaker connectors. No different. Almost all subs have them. | |
| Subwoofer insight. Speakon connectors are just old timey high level speaker connections like we used in the old days when receivers didn’t have sub outs. Maybe it’s great but seems archaic. Most subs still have high level connections for older receivers I suppose. I... | |
| Subwoofer insight. MiniDSP could be employed to integrate the subs if one wanted to get more involved than a simple setup. https://www.minidsp.com/ | |
