Having a Flashback Friday - Airplane Induced
Thanks for sharing your moment, I understand and appreciate your share. Your description makes me wonder if you play an instrument. Yesterday I walked into Ace Hardware and “ Somebody to Love “ was playing on the store system. I just stopped in th... 
Tube power amplifier low static on one channel
 Glad you found the issue. FWIW I had a new pair of Gold Lion KT -77’s with about 15-20 hours on them. I started getting noise and before I could act boom ! The brand new tube let go and blew out the capacitors in the respective channel. You just ... 
Recommendations for LPS for Innuos Pulse Mini
I purchased a used Pulse Mini with a Zero Zone LPS. Was a definite improvement over the wall wart, but haven’t compared it against the factory LPS. However it works well without any issues. Hope this helps, Mike.   
Favorite mid-tier streamer
Innuos Pulse Mini with aftermarket LPS.    
Schiit Yggdrasil DAC, why did they change it ?
    Interesting read gentleman. I just contacted Schiit as my Gen III card is intermittently not working and my streamer won’t recognize my Yiggy. I didn’t think much about the age of the Yiggy until I saw A000058 on the back. It’s pending a Uniso... 
In the sand box
DuPont Zircon M sand is the most dense ( Heaviest ). You guys think you’re so anal, you should spend some time around competitive Bench Rest shooters.    
Need recommendation
FWIT, I was at my wife’s office and found multiple pairs of the Sony WH1000XM4’s NIB gathering dust in a cabinet. I grabbed a pair as I’m starting to fly more often. I installed the Sony app on my IPhone and let them play for a few hours. I’m not ... 
Bluesound mode not really cutting it
   Hi , I would like to share my experience that occurred over the past two weeks. I have been running a Project Streambox Ultra II. I have both Tidal and Qbuzz. My streamer is hardwired and I have two usb cables, a Cardas Clear, and Wireworld Sta... 
Integrated Tube Amp approx. $2,500
   Just for giggles check out ESP Hi-Fi Bar in Denver ( web site ), sorry for lack of a link. They run above your budget, but they’ve paired Line Magnetic with Klipsch.  And their pics are great eye candy. Might make you consider a used unit, but ... 
Happy listening in SoCal
   I’m in PG&E territory, if I’m not mistaken we have the second highest rates in the nation behind the San Diego area. My daughter lives in Pensacola and her power is 1/4 the rate of mine ( 12 cents per kwt Vs 49/59 ) . That said, the  $40K I... 
Time to make a change ?
I’m looking at the Innuos Pulse.  But at your equipment level get the Pulsar and call it a day. Also the guy right above me knows his stuff. Cheers , Mike   
The Allure of Vintage Audio Gear
I went through that phase about 10 years ago. Since then I have given most of it to my kids. What I haven’t given away is stacked in a closet. On top of the stack is a barely used Oppo 105, so go figure. The one category that I do cherish is NOS t... 
critique my setup -- weak link? best way to improve?
At the price point of your system, you’d be hard pressed to upgrade without just getting a new system. But things to consider first, you have speakers that are ported on the back. Moving them would be a huge plus , but it sounds like that’s not po... 
Streamer/Ripper/Storage
Are you using a Belkin cable now ? You absolutely need a better cable. I’m looking at a new streamer in the $2-$3.5K range now , hence I’m reading all the threads. I currently have a Project Ultra Stream II that replaced a laptop. It was an improv... 
Greg Kihn
  I saw him in person for the first time at the Bass Lake Triathlon. His band played in the parking lot at the village area. The event was also significant as it was one of the first pro triathlons. His music is great and I’ve enjoyed him ever sin...
