Nuforce STA200 issue. Rumble every couple minutes
I’ve found my STA200 works best with a Schiit Sys., a combination MrDecibel mentioned in a thread a while back.  I don’t think I’ll ever sell this amp.  It just sounds too good when paired appropriately.  
Denafrips Pontus II 12th VS Gustard R 26
Check out the Border Patrol for warm midrange.  
Dac: Old vs New
Check out Geshelli J2, either AKM or Sabre chips.  Great products, and great price.  And, looks dapper in its wood case.

@nglazer , please report on your experience with the Pulse Mini, as I think there are many of us that are interested.  Thanks.  
Speaker Pairing for Sugden A21SE
Listening to my A21se right now with some Rogers LS3/5a’s, and the sound is great!  I’ve had trouble pairing the Sugden with Cornwall IV’s because of noise out of one channel.  Could just be something in my audio chain, don’t know.
