| New speakers? No thanks. If you do sell, I'll take them!Bob | |
| DAC recommendation with tube preamp I use an Ayre Codex.-Definitely superior to the Node integrated DAC.B | |
| BlueSound Node 2 - connect to pre-amp direct or to Oppo UDP-205 and then to pre-amp Though the integrated DAC in the Node is good for the price, I would output to a better DAC, if possible.So, yes, use the Oppo.B | |
| Who are some of elite sub woofers? @erik_squires ,I own both HSU and Vandy subs. No contest, the Vandy's win, though the Hsu's are very good for the money. B | |
| Please help me clean up this stupid speaker cable mistake Nope, you made the mistake and should own up to it.As far as AQ not taking care of its' customers, I would have to disagree.If anything, why not ask the dealer who old you the cables to have them reterminated? Were they AQ dealers?I know my dealer... | |
| McCormack DNA 750 mono block amps You could ask Steve directly at SMc Audio.B | |
| Please help me clean up this stupid speaker cable mistake @skyscraper,I wouldn't fault AQ, you made the mistake. They wouldn't stay in business correcting things for free.When my dog chewed up my new, uninstalled cables inside the box, I wouldn't have asked them to repair them under warranty.B | |
| Qubuz feedback and membership Plan Suggestions @lowrider57 ,I, too, am streaming Quobuz to my Nodes.

| What are you streaming tonight? @jond Those are some of my favorite albums.The Love for Sale concept tracks never get old.B | |
| Equipment break in question I didn't give the 'burn in' belief much credit, but I was convinced when my Schiit Dac suddenly improved after many hours of playing. I left it on continuously, and played music when I had time to listen.It took a few weeks, but one day it just 'o... | |
| Qubuz feedback and membership Plan Suggestions @three easy,I find Quobuz to be pretty complete. I also have Tidal.So far, Quobuz seems to have a better catalog. And, sound quality is as good/better.Classical is much better represented on Quobuz-almost as good as Spotify.B | |
| Tube (Primaluna) or Solid state (Parasound JC2) Tough question.Both are good brands. How they work with Tekton's is hard to say.I think the only way is to trial both and see what floats your boat.Source and Preamp will also contribute to your decision.B | |
| Herbies Pucks floor spike protectors... I didn't know Vandersteen made spike shoes.A quick Google shows they should probably work as good as my Herbie's gliders, though some may disagree.Some of this stuff can get a bit anal.B | |
| Linear Power Supplies with multiple power modules Thanks Tecknik.All that is missing is someone who has listened to both brands.@jaybe Can you point me to any online discussions?Bob |
