  1. If you want to use an external preamp to the R-15PM, then put the switch on LINE. If you want to turn OFF the preamp in your TT, then set the switch to PHONO on the R-15PM. I suspect the preamp in the R-15PM is better than the one built into your turn table. Never feed a LINE level signal into a PHONO preamp, it will overdrive the circuit and possibly break it if driven hard enough.

  2. Didn't want to make the other thread longer. If anyone has followed along, just wanted to say our Customer Service people are swamped. That is why you may experience hold times. It is being rectified. Your calls should see an improvement very soon.

  3. I recommend 4 R-115SW for performance/dollar, or however many you can afford.  I have two, and they sound more musical than the RSW-15. I also owned 2 of those in the exact same spots in my HT. I am sure the ID subs are good, but you know you want some copper!

     

    A couple thoughts on subwoofers...

     

    Your crossover frequency is always variable in the acoustic domain, unlike the setting in your bass management. As you turn up the volume your subwoofer produces more HF. This usually is where inductance distortion becomes a large factor. Another factor that can give away a subwoofers location is the stuff around it vibrating. A picture frame on a latex painted wall can make a ticking sound to drive a man insane, true story! 

     

    Distortion numbers given in % doesn't really mean as much compared to stating them for an amplifier. As already stated you can go pretty high in distortion with subwoofers before becoming annoying. It is that top end of the sub you really want to keep down.

  4. Jay L, hadn't seen you around in a while. Rumor was that you went to work for Apple or the NSA or something.

     

    Galaxy Audio is about the best you can do without breaking the bank. The analog Rat Shack is okay if you can still find it.

     

    Eh? Was that rumor just now started? lol

  5. Should not need to remove driver to pull the input panel. I think all connections can be undone in the preamp board. The only one you may need to pull from the amp side is the line/neutral connections from the AC board.
