It took a lot of work to achieve this spec without aff ecting the sound quality of the Momentum amplifi er in any way, but I think the result was well worth the eff ort.

Front meter is illuminated but you hear no sound (cont.) If you have a spare pair of interconnect cables (even cheap ones will work temporarily), try using them instead of the interconnect cables between the source device and the preamp and between the preamp and the amplifier. If this restores sound, replace the defective cables.
