yeah ideally you want to keep the source volume at max and change it on the speaker so it's not mostly noise floor either

greg the peanut posted:Those dongles that were supposed to go between the jack and your landline handset if you had DSL Some kind of wack rear end filter I think. When I first got DSL I thought they were blocking the hosed up tone you'd hear if you picked up the phone when you were dialed in with like a 56k modem.

yeah they were lowpass filters that isolated the random spray of telephone handsets from draining/loving up the dsl signal which was closer to low shortwave Pro setup was to do it at the demarc and run a dedicated DSL line then use a single filter for the actual house's wiring
