| Power Amp Question @bop333 IF your question is how to use your NAD integrated as a preamp only: there should be two links (rectangular, black plastic covered) between the C356's rear PRE OUT 2 and MAIN IN RCA jacks. Remove those and simply plug a pair o... | |

| Hearing/Tinnitus FYI (caveat emptor) @fuzztone - Absolutely! As with anything else, in this life/hobby; the variables are manifold. Everyone reacts to medications differently ... | |
| Hearing/Tinnitus FYI (caveat emptor) Any chance that, "increased ringing" could be related to, or magnified by, something you've eaten, along with the, "rare occasion" spicy foods? Food allergies can cause a wide variety of symptoms and prove hard to pinpoint, without a ... | |
