| Overseas Shipping Of Amplifier; Anything Special? Wooden crate! Build a wooden crate to fit tight around the factory carton. Save yourself and the buyer the grief and headaches of shipping damage. Been there....... | |
| Choosing cables for Passive applications? I run 2 sets (one 1/2m, one 1m) of Luminous Audio Sychestra Reference ic's between cdp > Reference Line and between Reference Line > amp. Before this I was running 2 sets of Reference Line's own DSL cabling which was very good and made speci... | |
