After using my srm717 for years, on a hot humid day when powering down I noticed arcing and minor smoke from near Q34. After powering down for several days I tested it again, the amp seems to be working correctly but powering on or off will reproduce the arcing. A close inspection noticed the...

Ebay has some interesting options... At least if you have a decent wall voltage.

My speaker system and phones are entangled so ill pass on trying kind of entangled... Using an everything approach >>10k (Id have to check purchase date if you really need exact numbers), otherwise for headphones and head amps about 1.4ish.

Sound stage (size not accuracy) is hardly important for FPS gaming, as you should know the maps 110% and as such be able to gauge from the angle rather than the depth the location. Not only this FPS sound stage depth is also represented via volume as each action has a constant volume for a fixed...
