| Question for tube aficionados Interesting. The figures in this review suggest an average-ish impedance curve.http://www.hifi-classic.net/review/dahlquist-dq-20-243.html Did the modifications make them harder to drive? | |

| Power Cord for Pass Int 60-Under 1K used There are a gazillion after-market power cords, made by large corporations and lonely individuals, from under $100 to many thousands of $$. No one has tried them all in all possible systems. So you try a few which seem to have a good rep. or abo... | |
