| phono preamp to power amp Different components but i can and have done similar by running a Herron tube phono stage via a 4 meter RCA into the inputs of a MC240 amp which have volume controls…. i think your experiment is worth conducting… in a similar vein some great engin... | |

| Rediscovery @bob70 Makes perfect sense although 9 seems dreadful early except for an early morning flood fishing tide. Just one question “ them “ seems plural… ? Hate for that valuable accreditation to slip away on a slip of …. well you know….. Anyway ….yo... | |
