Streaming Tidal/Qbuzz Vs Internet Radio
   @cleeds   So I’m sitting here listening to Radio Paradise and the same channel comes at 192k Ogg/Vorbis and in FLAC + , so I’m sitting here doing an A/B comparison and I prefer the 192k over the FLAC +. I’m also realizing how ignorant I am in r... 
Music streaming
I have both Tidal and Qbuz, they both sound great. I’ve had Tidal longer and am more comfortable navigating the site. Just pick one and do a Trial. One thing I discovered is when I stream in my car Siri does not support Qbuz. I downloaded about 80... 
Streaming Tidal/Qbuzz Vs Internet Radio
@oldrooney Thanks for the info. My Yiggy is a low number A000058. Schitt was surprised how low of a number it was when I sent it in a few months ago. The original usb card was failing and wouldn’t connect with my streamer. They did the Gen 5 usb u... 
polishing pins of NOS tubes
I’d try Deoxit first. I think a Dremel variable speed cordless with the small felt wheels would be good . Personally I’d anchor the tube in a safe manner on a flat surface and use both hands resting on the same surface to avoid a woops . I’m fairl... 
5ar4 rectifier tube
That Phillips 5AR4GYS that’s in the Upscale link was a tube that Kevin promoted as the best rectifier tube since sliced bread. He’s definitely sales minded and promotes what HE SELLS. About 6-7 years ago I bought one of those from him that was cry... 
Streaming Tidal/Qbuzz Vs Internet Radio
@cleeds Thanks for schooling me. I smoked too much pot in the 70’s and default to BUZZ over BUZ. 😆 I’m not tech savvy and I appreciate your gracious guidance. I have a few Radio Paradise ( 320k aac ) stations tagged as well. The two stations sound... 
Streaming Tidal/Qbuzz Vs Internet Radio
  I’m currently streaming with Innuos, to a Schiit Yiggy with a Gen 5 USB card. I’m using a Wireworld Starlight Platinum cable. Single ended from DAC to Rogue Hera to Rogue M-180’s dark. The sound of these stations Vs Tidal/Qbuzz is very noticeabl...

@rbstehno  Thank you for educating me. I’m not very computer literate and networking is above my skill set. I guess you can teach an old dog new tricks. Respectfully, Mike B.     
Looking for advise regarding Rogue M180’s
@hiend2 ,Thank you for recommending the GE 5751’s, they’ve only 2 days , but it certainly knocked off the rough edges, without sacrificing the overall sound.                @mulveling ,  Thank you for staying in this thread with your detailed inpu... 
Pairing streamer
@rbstehno Hi , I obviously fall into the “ Don’t Know “ category, and I’m not being sarcastic. Would you please explain to me why I have two routers and two streamers, one WiFi and one hardwired to a different router. Why then, can I only access e...

I also have a Pulse Mini W/LPS. IT MUST BE HARDWIRED to your router. Be sure if you have multiple routers and multiple frequencies like I do, be on the correct one. Log into your router to see the Pulse Mini, and run setup. If it’s your “ End Poin... 
Looking for advise regarding Rogue M180’s
Gentlemen, again thank you for spoon feeding me. About 2 days after the amps came back, I pulled the 4 JJ 12AU7’s and threw in a quad of Seimens nickel plates. I have a quad of Tekefunken G-73 R’s yet to try. Unfortunately my RCA’s and Mullards , ... 
Any Advantages To A Streamer In My Situation
My computer building friends used to say it’s all X’s and O’s, but it’s way more. In my mid Fi system I went from Windows , to a Project streamer and now an Innuos. Each time my SQ improved, also with cabling. There are huge improvements to be had... 
McIntosh mono amp red light flashes after a couple hours
I’m sure others with significantly more knowledge will follow, but here’s my thoughts. First off, this is not good and needs to be remedied fast. Are you at a moderate or high volume ? Dim the lights and see if a tube LOOKS RED. Switch all the tub...
