My MC 2205 Amplifier is smoking???
I don't think the word "smoke" and the word "amplifier" should be used in the same sentence. It's a bad combination. Good luck.  
Amp's that are better sounding than a nad 3020
I think the more significant question would revolve around the age and condition of the parts in ANY 40-50 year old audio amp. If any integrated amps (including the NAD) have been serviced by a reputable repair shop then one can do a comparison. I... 
Any love for Musical Fidelity integrateds?
I think Musical Fidelity and Luxman are two brands that are under rated.  
Why do hipsters prefer analog?
kingharold  " I don't care why hipsters are listening to vinyl.  I am just glad they are since it helps keep a very good format alive" I guess in the end I agree with kingharold. These guys/gals are keeping the format alive. They are saying, "th... 
Why do hipsters prefer analog?
Hipsters like Jeeps too. My boss has one. He asked me if I liked Jeeps and I told him I drove one in the Army before they switched to Humvees. I really don’t know if he likes audio equipment. I know he likes the peanut shop store in downtown Akron... 
Speakers known for great midrange.
I think Theil and Vandersteen have the best midrange because of the time and phase coherence approach.  
Why do hipsters prefer analog?
I think my boss is a young hipster, He wears tight pants and the bottoms are about equal to his lower calf. He has colorful socks and sometimes he wears galoshes when it rains and leaves them on all day. I am not kidding.  
Introducing Myself
Welcome to the forum. An observation from one forum member here (me). People don’t mind being opinionated, some overly passionate about their opinions. I always liked the civility I had seen in GB when one did not want to offend another (haha). Ma...

6sn7 tubes and Schiit Freya +
I have tried NOS Sylvania JAN tubes of that kind and they sound superb to my ears in my Freya Plus. I have also invested in socket savers since I don't like handling the glass on these old tubes.  
Bluesound and BluOS
I have been using Tidal on Bluesound devices. I tried Qobuz and found that I like the sound better on Tidal. Some are no fans of MQA files but I have found about 80% of the MQA version of albums I have listened to sound fantastic. I have moved my ... 
hearing loss and amp choices
Critical listening to music (or what us audiophiles enjoy with our audio gear) and having a known hearing loss in one ear is like driving a Ferrari with 1 flat tire. Yeah you can change the suspension on one side or pick flatter roads to drive the... 
So I bought the Willsenton R-800i
chmaiwald. Very nice comments on the sound of the amp. I would be very surprised if you were not satisfied with that amp. Further down the road you can look at other tubes. I have replaced my output tubes with Genelex Gold Lion and the preamp tube... 
Bought an Audio Research Amp
Great story. ARC makes quality gear and I am not surprised by how much your sound has improved. Happy Listening!
