| Can You Trust a Shipper? (UPS, Fed-Ex, etc) Hard to believe an ebay seller with a 99.8 rating would double rip you off. I'd like to hear the other side of the story. I've also, as a seller and a buyer, worked with paypal many times and they never told me "too bad, you lose". Jerry | |
| How to set up volume control on a DAC without a preamp @audiotroy It seems your data on Roon is incorrect. It works with any endpoint device. | |
| How to set up volume control on a DAC without a preamp Roon volume control is quite good, better than many preamps. I have a lampizator DAC with volume control which I use for my pre. Roon VC is better than the relay operated resistive ladder in the Lampi. If I were using roon, I wouldn't buy a DAC... | |
| Quieter Amp Replacement for Crown XTi 6002 ? I can hook you up with a civil engineer to do a quarterly inspection of your home for structural degradation. | |
| What is causing false tube faults in VTL MB450 Series III? Guys, as the OP has already figured out, It appears to be the VTL tube monitoring/troubleshooting cirecuit that is at fault, giving false indications of a bad tube. I don't know how to troubleshoot this. Jerry | |

| Upgrade to PS Audio Direcstream Mk1 and Mac Mini? The first thing I would do it get the mac and all macs, out of your system. | |
| Share Your Playlist @thegoldengoose most people have a washing machine so work on your attempted insultes. I didn't recognize all your songs, that's why I said "pretty sure". Careful, us old folks cover all the bases. --Jerry | |
| Share Your Playlist I'm pretty sure I have underwear older than every song on your list. | |
| Next step up on the streaming food chain? I have Grimm MU1. I haven’t compared to Auralic but was a huge upgrade to Innuos Zenith MK3. Edit to add: I don't think Auralic does Roon. Grimm does not work without roon. so it may not be a good choice for you. | |
| Biwiring make any sense? Those of you who say "if the speaker is set up properly for it", do you realize that on a circuit diagram biwire looks exactly like single wire? | |
| Receiver @erik_squires has stepped away from the forums for a while but he told went to Anthem, regretted it, and recommended the Marantz cinema 50 to me. I am very happy with it. But I have never heard the anthem. I do not use my reciever for 2 channel... | |
| Type 45 Tubes for stereo amplifiers I have a pair but I think it is against the rule to offer them to you for sale. I don't know of any new 45s, maybe sophia, but they won't be cheap. the used vintage ones on ebay are cheap and generally in good shape so I recommend buying a few ... | |
| Receiver @soix this is posted in the HT forum. | |
| Crucial TUBE question Sounds like @dogearedaudio found the connection between pins 7 and 8 that allowed it to work. I also agree with his recommendation of the Mullard GZ34. Jerry |
