Looking for a tube preamp that has xlr outputs.
The tubes in it are good, esp the Telefunken 12AX7’s. Those were my favorite 12AX7’s in that preamp. All the tubes were tested and strong. I sent it to The Music Room with them in it.

@dlowman No need to have it looked at, it was mine. It’s been updated within the past 2 years to Mk III and recently I had them go through it again to change out some parts. I dropped it off in Sarasota while wintering in Florida. It’s in real go...

The new Coda S5.5 amplifier: It's a "Petite Beast"!
I have been out of town for 2 weeks so after I get back I will check on the amp/system progress and report back. The last time I listened I was ecstatic at what I was hearing.  
Solid State Power Amps
You should throw CODA into the mix. The 16 will drive them with ease.  
Aurender A200 vs N200
@skids   I asked my dealer.  
Denafrips Pontus *15th* ?
JMHO but I think Dinafrips is dumping Vinshine and going it on their own. Vinshine is out of stock on every Dinafrips component they sell, DAC, Pre and Power Amps. clocks, DDC’s etc.  
Aurender A200 vs N200
I asked this very question before buying my N 200. The difference in a nut schell is the A 200 is an N150 level streamer with a DAC added. The N200 is a higher level streamer as far as components and power supply being dedicated only to a music se...

@vthokie83  I am using the Venus II and Hermes combination via I2s and it's pretty damn good. I also updated the firmware to the latest, I feel I am not missing out either. These DAc's are really good for the money. I like using the Hermes as the...

It is kinda small for those Legacy Aeris but the Wavelet II can help a lot. I have the same combination, just with the Focus XD, the next step down from the Aeris. That room is not kind to the sound that you are capable of achieving.

Yesterday I was doing some listening. I use the Aurender N200 through Qobuz. Anyway, when i make playlists they sometimes are done on my Phone with headphones and songs added to the list don't always sound good once played on the big rig. This was... 
3 choices for power amp
+1 @vinylvalet   The Coda is very special!  
A stupid question(s) about power cords
I am of the impression that if a piece of equipment is connected to a new PC and at least turned on or on "standby" it will also achieve "credit" for burn in hours. It doesn't necessarily have to be playing music? I have a new power cord attached ... 
Aurender Conductor V4 and Qobuz phone app don't match
@12many  What do you mean from "both devices" as I don't have C4 on my phone, it's just the normal iPhone Qobuz app which has all my playlists on it.  . @tvad I checked and conductor is fully updated, so I deleted C4 on the iPad and reinstalled i...
