| Cool feature on Pass X260.8 Mono Amps Did you have to turn the screw driver or just push in? I can't see a slot for the screw driver. | |

| Why do we demand so much from our systems? Like so many other pursuits in life, attitude is important. You have to discipline yourself not to get too finicky about it. I have powerful, revealing, accurate music reproduction, but I know I could go far beyond what I have, particularly when i... |
