Hi Tom,
I have a couple of questions.
What is the "ARB704And" and what amp do you use?
I am considering purchasing an amp but haven't decided what would be the
best and most reliable way to go.
I also have the Kenwood TS-570, a Drake "B" line and a Drake "C" line.
I don't really want to have an amp for each station and would like to use it
with what ever station I use.
When I am in a hurry, I use the 570, however by far my favorite station is
the Drake "B" line.
