Biwiring: can you really hear the difference?
Dennis, Having two pairs of cables have the terminated differently on amplifier end. For example: one of them have spades and the other bananas. 
Biwiring: can you really hear the difference?

Cartridge output matching to phono stage.
a step-up of 20dB will not be enough for the phono input with input sencitivity of 4.5mV. The preamp section will not be having the specified gain and output parameters if you feed a voltage less than input sencitivity.A step-up transformer with 3...
