I know - tough call, right? Hmmm - something tangible, fun, and unique, or a couple of hidden filters...
This would generally be a no brainer if it weren't for the @#$%&!+ economy scaring the bejeesus out of me these days.
I am the lucky guy who snagged Yank's L46s. That being said, I guess I'm not
so scared of the economy that I've gone into hunker down in the bomb shelter, full out preservation financial mode yet; truth be told, I don't even have a bomb shelter - that would be weird, and I bet they have crappy acoustics.
I've read varying opinions on plugging the ports (not necessarily specific to the L46, but on other models) some of which are good, some indifferent, but none particularly negative. It's something I may try once I get everything balanced to see what the sound impact is. Not particularly worried about peaks (the cueing lever on your turntable is your friend
) but you make a good point, and accidents do unfortunately happen.
