tablejockey,I also got one of those mystery discs when I bought a copy of Stevie Wonder’s "Inner Visions" album. Side One was as it should be, but the flip side was from a completely different album by Yvonne Fair called "The Bitch is Black"!At th... 
2 Stereo amps to be used in Mono...hookup?
Yeah, thanks George and Elizabeth  ;)

"Same for right channel..."Exactly. The right channel from the preamp hooks up the same way to the other amp. 
2 Stereo amps to be used in Mono...hookup?
You would "Y" connect the left output of the preamp into the left and right input on the amp that you hook your left speaker to and "Y" connect the right output from the preamp into the left and right inputs of the amp that you hook your right spe...

Yes. The manual states that, for mono use, "...you will need to feed both input jacks with identical signals from a 'Y' connector. The speaker leads must be connected to the two outer terminals only".

New Look for Audiogon hard to work with
Ridiculous!! 
Aerial 10T's in the house...
"I unboxed the top cabinets... that box alone was about 80 lbs!"Yep, those head cabinets are cast from a stone-like stuff called Novalith. HEAVY! One thing I had to do to mine was replace the dual bananas that connect the tops to the bottom cabin...

I was a die-hard fan of Maggies for 3 decades. That was until I got my 10T's. They need some breathing room and careful placement, but you're in for a treat. 
What The Specs Don’t Tell You… And Why
Great presentation that destroys the myth that if two audio components measure the same, they will sound the same. It could be summarized by this statement from the presentation (paraphrased):"Not all that matters can be measured, and not all that...

Manual gain controls on Hafler 9180
These controls are input signal attenuators, which can be used to better match the preamp to the power amp. They can be useful if your preamp has more gain than needed. This can be a problem when using higher output sources such as CD players.A sy... 
Are Aerial 10T's still considered a Good speaker on 2018?
Hey, congratulations I know you're going to love them!  I have been wanting to try out some Class D stuff on them. Right now, I'm using a Wyred4Sound STP SE and a SST Son of Ampzilla II. So far SO GOOD! I've been grinning non-stop since I bought m... 
Are Aerial 10T's still considered a Good speaker on 2018?
Funny you should ask! I just bought a set of MKII 10T's a few months ago "at a steal of a deal", and I'm loving them. I don't have experience with newer speakers that are comparable, so I can't specifically answer your question. Until someone do... 
Set me straight, don't pull punches
According to the instructions, the AUX2/Phono switch merely switches the AUX/Phono input from line level gain to the higher gain needed for an MM cartridge, along with the equalization necessary for proper phono playback.  I'm assuming that your t...
