    I liked the Teac C decks when we sold them back in the day. Not really tempted as I got a Luxman K-12 and it did nicely for decades. Now I'm waiting for a Yamaha C300 to heal itself as it sits over there. It has the balanced I/O that I probably won't use. Nice to see these Teacs being enjoyed.

    Bias settings mono amplifiers.

    Bias simply keeps the transistors awake after amplifying the top or bottom of the signal as it switches to the other transistors. NPN vs PNP amp modules are used in some amps but most just have these in pairs on the same heatsink. This keeping them awake avoids the miniscule delay of turn-on...

    What cable do I need to get my recently gifted to my iPad Pro (1st version) plugged into a USB B MHDT DAC?

    shitty proprietary lightning, not that the 30-pin isn't prop also. Glad the EU has forced apple to go with a standard on new crap. I understand their desire to control the quality of the whole operation, making decent cables but gouging the public on prices for everything bothers me. I'll...
