| Incorrect speaker cable connection can damage amp? It doesn't seem to me that you're shortcircuiting outputs so it will not damage your amp. Connect your speakers correctly to either one of sets. In lots of cases extra set exists for biwiring with the separate set of speaker cables(or wires). If y... | |
| Theta Data II good transport? ...whoever has the luck whoever doesn't. I'm with Muse suggestion also but not realy shure if it outperforms Theta. | |

| Theta Data II good transport? Don't rush onto $$$digital components when you can get loads of music from Micromega stage... even if you get an integrated player instead of transport it will still make a sence to use it as a transport since transports in Micomegas are excellent. | |
| Theta Data II good transport? It has a great and detailed sound but to get it serviced is a pain and $$$. It takes a long time to find a first track on CD but if you're patient you won't pay attention to that.It's heavy and operates with minimal errors(jitter) and doesn't need... | |

| My Micromega Stage 3 Stopped Producing Sound Can't pop out off my head too much(there are plenty depending on what you're listening to) but I use the old-ish EAD DSP7000 and happy as a sheep.
