Microphonic from Vacuum Tubes?
Sounds possibly like a tube going bad….  
Ultrasonic record cleaners
I have an Audiodeske system cleaner. Pricey yes, but I bought a demo. I thought it might make a difference and clean up my record collection nicely. However, I never thought it would produce the results that it does. Amazing improvement in sound, ... 
Are Their any Tube Preamp with Home Theater Bypass?
Yes I have a McIntosh MX120 home theater preamp, with a McIntosh C2300 tube preamp. The C2300 has goes into bypass when the MX130 is on watching TV. Works excellent and love them both. Highly recommended. Although the C2300 has updated versions C2... 
100% USA designed & made DAC
McIntosh D150. Love it!  
Aurender
@lalitk thanks but let’s just agree to disagree.             
Aurender
@lordmelton with all due respect, from two of this threads contributors, it was my understanding that using a NAS defeated the main premise of Aurender’s proprietary “signal” path. I don’t think what I said was “incorrect” as you put it but if you... 
Aurender

Bluesound node + INNUOS PHOENIX USB?

My opinion and the path I’ve taken is to enjoy both digital and analog. If your budget allows why not take advantage of having access to both worlds. Twice the fun! Good luck.   
Jay’s Audio CDT3-MK3 wins over Aurender W20SE
@brandonhifi maybe a stupid question, but how are you getting a sacd ripped to the aurenders hdd ?   
Does Everyone Use 2 Phono Cables with SUT
I have never really found the difference between the two.  
Is there such a thing as a FOREVER DAC/streamer?
 In my opinion, DAC technology, like computers etc. is a moving target. Pick a time to hop on the train, and look forward to the future. I don’t think there is a “forever” in this area. Now, loudspeakers can be a different story in that many can f... 
BluSound Node and Node 2
Although, I haven’t had any problems with my nodes, when I did have issues I agree their customer service of recent time is the pits! Early on they were great but I guess as they sold more and more, they haven’t kept up. As for the quality and int... 
Router for Audio Streaming
Orbi, seems to work great.
