Wife trouble
Maybe you can make some tall, DIY acoustic panels like mine, but pull them out when you want to do some listening, pull the speakers out and lean the panels against the entertainment system.  Then when you're done, put the panels away.  That, or m...

Preamp popping!

Preamp popping!
I guess the sequencing depends on the equipment you have.  When I was a mobile DJ, I was told to "always, always, always" turn the amp on first before anything else and, when I'm powering down, turn it off last.  But, with my LampizatOr Lite 7 DAC... 
Network Audio Player - need some basic advice
For what it’s worth, the LampizatOr DSD Komputer music server has been amazing in my system! Here’s a link to my review on it:http://ayllonmedia.com/news/the-lampizator-dsd-komputer-an-audio-expo-in-your-living-room-or-not  
Lampizator Music KOMPUTER or MusicVault or MemoryPlayer64???
I understand, Whatthe.  A local audiophile store where I have made many purchases through the years doesn't even carry tubes, so it wasn't until AXPONA 2014 that I was really exposed to them.  The funny thing is that when I saw your mention of the... 
Lampizator Music KOMPUTER or MusicVault or MemoryPlayer64???
You said:Not the sound but the energy efficiency, heat, hums and burn outs.I have not experienced this with my LampizatOr DACs (first, with the Amber DAC Plus and currently with the Lite 7 DAC).  Lukasz dials back the temperature with the tubes, s... 
Lampizator Music KOMPUTER or MusicVault or MemoryPlayer64???
That's interesting that you ended up with the EMM Labs DA2, Whatthe.  It was my favorite when I attended my first AXPONA show (2014).  I wrote about it at the following link:http://www.ayllonmedia.com/1/post/2014/05/searching-for-the-right-stuff-m... 
Review: The LampizatOr DSD Komputer: An Audio Expo in Your Living Room -- or Not?
No doubt that's true, Zephyr.  However, as I think you'll agree, the Lampizator DSD Komputer is a very well made music server, optimized and tricked out to perform optimally.  Plugged into a good quality DAC and good to great sound system, the res... 
Lampizator Music KOMPUTER or MusicVault or MemoryPlayer64???
P.S. -- That prototype of their DSD Komputer shown in the photograph at the end of the interview now sits on a shelf in my listening room!And just so you know, that Toshiba laptop did sound good in in its own right while sourcing my system.  It's ... 
Lampizator Music KOMPUTER or MusicVault or MemoryPlayer64???
Good morning, Whatthe,No offense taken.  I actually shared this link with Lukasz last night and found this response in my email's inbox a few minutes ago:Hi,thank you for the link. Answering their concern: the PCM playback leaves our microprocesso... 
Lampizator Music KOMPUTER or MusicVault or MemoryPlayer64???
Hi Whatthe,That’s great that you were able to make your computer and save money. It sounds like you made a nice server. Lampizator’s founder, Lukasz Fikus encourages people, if they are capable, to try and make their own. But think about it: from ... 
Review: The LampizatOr DSD Komputer: An Audio Expo in Your Living Room -- or Not?
Hi Alan,Good for you!  Imagine how much better it would sound with an actual music server that was built for music playing instead of a laptop?  Enjoy,Juan 
The demise of the music CD inevitable?
In my interview of LampizatOr's CEO, Lukasz Fikus, he talks about the demise of the CD, which you can read at the link below:http://ayllonmedia.com/news/the-tape-rolls-on-a-new-digital-giant-a-candid-interview-with-the-lampizator-himself-lukasz-fi...
