A lot of my newer developed tastes have come from time spent at audio dealers and audio shows. Hearing what other people are listening to in bo... | |
| Why do designers/manufacturers...? I think a few things come into play here. One, they want to assure the buyer that they design is optimized within the component itself. By admitting a power cord or feet make the difference, would admit a shortcoming within. Although some have add... | |

| meter lights Try rotating the left knob to "lights off" then back to "watts" again and see if they come on. Also if you are using the trigger plug in the rear, disconnect it and see if they come on. The newer Mc amps use a stereo trigger cable rather than the ... |
