When I was building my tube pre-amp (which was rudely interrupted by: surgery, a move, and other stuff) I ran across a neat way to hear the amount of cross talk in your amps. To do this:

-- Only hook up your right input source.

-- Un-hook the right speakers from your power amp.

-- Listen to the right cross talk into the left speakers at different volumes. I was amazed at how much cross talk was in my current equipment and how little my yet unfinished tube amp had.


Grrrr.... I will not get back to this pre-amp for a least a year. Right now I'm doing plumbing work. Moving the washer and dryer from the basement to a closet on the second floor.

Plumbing isn't so bad, once you get past the smell..........

Best Regards,
