Questions about digital audio output from iPhones
I have this set-up.  I don't know if it outputs SPDIF or DSD, but it definitely outputs 96.0kHz/24bit PCM to the DragonFly when using the Onkyo HF Player app, with the Hi-Rez add-on.  It might even output 192.0kHz/24bit PCM, but the DragonFly only...

New Tweak --- Its Fantastic
@wolf_garcia Forgot to add:  I personally have really liked that Tim Mrock has been on the thread, commenting on how to use the product, etc.  I would be fine with the manufacturers being on all the threads, if they are properly identified.  This ...

@wolf_garcia I appreciate your pointing out the potential carcinogenic risk of using TC and became a lot more careful in using it and cleaning up afterwards.  IMHO, Tim should provide better warnings and "methods" to decrease exposure.That said, t...

Tube temperature for ARC Ref 6
I recently put Herbies Ultra Sonic tube dampers on all the tubes in my REF6.  Unfortunately, I can't tell you what difference they made, as it occurred at the same time as the installation of a new set of tubes from ARC, plus pasting the tube pi... 
Vandersteen Sub woofers v Rythmik Subs
The Martin-Logan BalancedForce subs have the ability to use a speaker cable input.  I have been wondering how that might compare to RCA or XLR input.  Anyone ever try this? 
New Tweak --- Its Fantastic
@willgolf  I have pasted the tubes in my preamp and amp.  Instantly noticeable.  As per Tim's instructions, only coat a max of 50% up from the bottom of the pin, no heavy coats and/or blobs of TC.  What you do not want is the TC being pushed up fr...
