Saturday evening I found the other side of the coin... Sat down to tune up the amp, got it dipped, increased the drive on the 6+ and it's power meter was only showing about 35 watts forward, at three
Sensitivity is cheap... A 30 cent FET will give you all the sensitivity your ears can handle... Selectivity, stability, accuracy, intercept levels, harmonic rejection, IF rejection, audio fidelity ,
