| Desktop System DAC The bitfrost is supposed to be quite nice. Personally, I use a Musiland MD-10 every single day all day and never tire of it. | |
| Oppo 105 in place of pre/pro I tried using my 103. The sound was ok however, the added gain and better switching from a pre amp helped a lot. I still use the analogue outputs from the 103 and video through HDMI. The internal source switching on the Oppo is not as easy as with... | |
| HT amp for music- please help Emotiva is great for theater. However, for audio only I have my preferences. My 6 channel Mac is awesome. Yes, it may be a little "soft" but I have never tired of it. A used Sunfire would please me too. For more neutral, an Anthem would be nice.Pe... | |
| Turntable upgrade, tweaks, or stay put? do you have a clamp/weight, a nice scale & protractor? Those items can propel any table into new heights for way less than an upgrade. | |

| Tube filament brightness 1st you need to switch the tubes around. If the same tube glows brighter on the other channel, it is a problem with the tube and I'd contact the seller. If the other tube glows brighter on this current channel, your amp has an issue. | |
| DV-09 DAC? Dennon integrated DAC? External DAC? The DV-09 was great in its day. You really need to try both the blueray and the digital out to the denon against it.

| Shipping from Canada Canada Post is SLOW. The good part is that duties/fees only apply when shipping to CA.China is at your own risk. | |

| mid-rang pre amp I'm looking at the umc200 manual right now. It will pass through 3D. It's a great choice. However, put aside and extra $100 to buy a Harmony remote (the emo remote is lame).Streaming and Bluetooth will be added when you buy the Oppo next...So, tha... | |
| tubes for leben cs600 The amp appears to only use one output pair at at time. You can buy a pair of tubes to start rolling. A nice pair of either EL34's or 6L6 would be a great way to start. If you change the 6cs7, you will need to do all 4.The 6cj3 is a single tube an... | |
| Tube Rolling EAR 890 tubesandmore.com or thetubestore.comBoth are quite reputable and reasonable. | |
| Parts source? mcmelectronics.com | |
| The best monitor under 1500 What about something like a Thiel Powerpoint? Completely out of the way and great sound. | |
| What tubes and where to buy them? Conrad Johnson tubesandmore.com or thetubestore.com both are very reasonable and ship anywhere. Most of what they sell is very reasonable and not out of sight. |
