| Household Surge Protectors - Good or Bad? FYI-I have had a whole house surge for 15 years. It only trips on very large spikes such as a transformer blowing at the pole. Smaller spikes always get through. Also, even with big spikes it is not nearly as sensitive as even the lower priced ... | |

| Add On For Streaming I use an Audioengine at home. It is amazing for the money. No password, just bluetooth searchable. You hook into any input on the stereo. All they have to do is pick that source. Never goes down, never fails me and has a range up to 100 feet. | |
| Using an LG V30 smartphone as a source component They make OTG Cables (on the go) that work even better than headphone jacks. It plugs into the phone's mini USB and the other end goes into a USB on your DAC. This $10 cable will get you great sound if you have a DAC. | |

| tubes and current If you like the warm tube sound and love those speakers, consider a Class A amp. You might find an Aragon, Sumo or other for a reasonable price. Pass Labs will do what you need but are not cheap. Otherwise you need a big tube amp such as Cary v... |
