    How to burn in my amp properly?

    I recently got a Predator amp, and I would like to burn it in for another 500 hours at least.   How do I go on about doing it, exactly? Is it just simply playing music through it?   1) Does the gain setting matter?   2) If I play music on my com and connect the Predator as a DAC...

    DIY Cable Gallery!!

    I ordered a pair of these UE pin connectors from Lunashops. How is the metal sheath like? How do you prevent it from sliding down? Is there a catch somewhere that you clip it onto or do you need to hot glue it down? Quote:
