RFI or Capacitor issue?
I just turned off the computer, and am still getting the same periodic whining noise. Also, I am getting a light popping sound around the same time that the whining noise occurs. It does not sound like bad tubes--I've heard many of those. Maybe a ... 
TG audio Speaker cables and IC's
In three different systems, even the moderately priced Signal Cable speaker cables I tried far outperformed the Q-10's, making them sound veiled and slow by comparison. In my system, the Signal were even quicker, and more engaging than a pair of $... 
Oooops Just got caught...
All you can say to set her mind at ease is that you were staring at the power tubes, and not at the Bugle Boys. 
How good is the midrange in the DK Design VS-1Mk2?
Zrespin,Thank you so much for the info. I had my doubts about mating this amp with horns, but I just wasn't sure. However, with my wife's Silverline Sonata II's, we could be boarding the train to audio nirvana.Gotta go make some dough...All the be... 
Horn People--Suggestions,Please
Check out the Cain & Cain line. They are narrower, I believe, and they get great write-ups. 
which 300b tube sounds the best?

How good is the midrange in the DK Design VS-1Mk2?
Anyone have a sense of what the DK would sound like with horns? Or has anyone heard one as such? I was thinking about an in-home trial, but didn't want to go through the process if the DK really has no chance of improving on the airy transparency ... 
UNICO: Can it Serve as a Preamplifier?
The first version of the Audio Aero Prima Hybrid does have pre-outs, and it beats the Unico hands down, IMO. Just in case you still want to head in that direction.

audio aero prima 24/192 vs. consonance 2.2
I've heard a lot of CD players, and to meet your listening preferences I think you would have to jump up considerably to better the Prima. Sorry, I have not heard the Consonance. And while I can really appreciate the exactitude of an Audio Note, t...

Cable recommendation for Soliloquy 6.3's?
FWIW, I used the AP Silver Oval speaker cables with my 6.2's, and found them to be excellent. Soliloquy told me that they us AP wiring internally. 
Problems with Siemens CCa 6922 tubes?
Thank you both for the feedback. My amp is an Audion Silver Night MKII, a 7W SET amp. I've purchased the Siemens from two different sources, and the second source that I've used is honoring the warranty and replacing the tubes.This amp is self-bia...
