| Upgrading Power Supply for Lumin U2 mini from switching to Linear Power Supply @kjl1065 I never worry about warranties. I've made no claims beyond infant failure. BTW, it doesn't totally void the warranty. for the OEM not to honor the warranty thay need to say that what you did caused the problem. So if a knob breaks, ... | |
| Tube microphonics people posting their experience with microphonics. The worst offender in my experience is OS (they are never really New) 6SN7. Jerry | |
| Tube microphonics @tattooedtrackman So just test for microphonics in all your tubes as I described. | |
| Tube microphonics It must be hard to try or the OP would have tried it rather than starting a thread. but maybe his real question is "what is microphonics".... I test all my tubes for microphonics and reject any tube that exhibits audible microphonics. "Micropho... | |
| Streamer suggestions with both wireless and wired connections @niodari I meant 2% and that is probably an exaggeration. We audiophiles spend inordinate amounts of money on the last 1%. Whenever anyone posts a tweek here they are talking about something to make just a tiny improvement. So if you're ok st... | |

I was surprised to not see a thread about it. I guess the people who wanted to start a thread were the ones having a problem getting on. Jerry | |
| Is Townshendisolation.com a scam site? "13 days is a long time." Anybody else here remember when you were a kid and you wanted to order something from a bubblegum wrapper or the back ads in "Grit" paper and you had to send a SASE and 35c and wait 6-8 weeks? Often by the time it showe... | |
| Recommendation Request for Tube Power Amplifier Before you start, be aware that the original, preferred, and IMHO best tube sound is a single ended triode with highly sensitive speakers. There are many people like you that want to try tubes with less sensitive speakers. In fact, there are m... | |
| Chord Qutest——>No difference One of my biggest AHA moments was the first time I heard a friend's Qutest. I have since bought DAVE. There is a huge difference. Count your blessings and save your money if you don't sense a difference. Jerry | |
| Power Regen/Conditioner for single Amp Should have kept the P15. Buy a used P10. Jerry PS why isn't your dac, streamer, TT etc plugged into it. I have Dac, streamer, upscaler, 5 linear power supplies for Roon Core, upscaler and DAC, PS for network switch, all plugged into mine. | |
