| Einstein The Tube users...help Thanks Boa2, In self defense, for the anal folks like me, I feel it necessary to editoralize on the issue of input sensitivity numbers and their actual meaning in practiceNo worries. It was obvious you knew exactly what the issue was, and if I was... | |
| Einstein The Tube users...help What Newbee means to say is the input sensitivity to your amps is too LOW for your Einstein. Pass would likely suggest that it's just perfect for their preamps, and they would be correct in saying so. The answer is to either buy/make a fixed or st... | |

| How high is your soundstage? I am pretty sure its my room.I'm betting you're right. On your System page, it looks quite small for those speakers. If you're up for it, move the system into a bigger room just for testing purposes, and see what happens to the stage. | |
