We Need A Separate Forum for Fuses
@geoffkait Very well said and perhaps the best summation I have read regarding the attitude some have adopted.  
JAM by Duelund
Jupiter goes south in sound quality right around 50 hours. Music sounds thin and just not right. They sound much better from 0-50 hours. Strange, but true. At around 100 hours thry just start getting more open, natural, relaxed and bloom. This all... 
Tekton Double Impacts
@charles1dad and I read it the same way. Tekton is sure getting all kinds of great reviews and comments from the industry.  
Does anyone leave their amp and preamp on all the time?
Lyngdorf 2170 on 24/7.  Best sound by a wide margin. Takes several hours to sound its best after turn on...I just keep it on.  Less stressful on internal parts than on/off cycles.  It is a digital powered dac and runs very cool consuming only 22 w... 
Talk but not walk?
My car, really most any stock car audio system, helps make all kinds of poor recordings sound decent. My car is not tuned to these poor classic rock recordings etc... No, the fact is there is a sameness that a stock car audio system impacts on all...

I will look at it now.

Yes that is a wonderful thing to get most of the burn in behind you once a part is put in place. I do wish a had such a device.

They do need more time to break in with music.  500 hours with music. Pretty sure your cooker time fell short of that. These do take all of 500 hours to sound their best. Not sure what the cooker equivalent of 500 hours is? Not sure if it even giv... 
Duelund DCA 12ga Hookup Wire
Thanks @mitch2 .   I agree with your interest in anti vibration damping in cables.  I am solidly in the camp that no shield sounds best and even not using synthetic outer sleeving....just silk or cotton.  I have come to this conclusion by building... 
New Tweak --- Its Fantastic
I did paste the tops of the various dac chips.....but not the pins.  Yes to the tops of the caps also.  @kdude66 let us know if you attempt the chip pin legs😁 
Duelund DCA 12ga Hookup Wire
@mitch2 Did you try your build with and without Flexo or the Techflex product you referred to above? I wonder if it dulled or darkened the sound in any way? Thanks.   
Duelund DCA 12ga Hookup Wire
That Duelund vintage style and tone wire is just wonderful. I like it better than the Duelund silver as the tone and presentation is spot on for my tastes. Just a far less fussy wire than silver. We want our systems to play all our favorite record... 
Who has Luv for the Lyngdorf 2170 and is thinking about the 3400.
@grey9hound wow! You have been busy and I bet you have it dialed in wonderfully.   
AUDIO PRICE INSANITY PRICE VS. PERFORMANCE WORTH IT?
We have to remember that many music lovers have their sound systems in living rooms enjoyed by entire families and a spouse with no chance of any of those room treatments ever going up.  With this fact in mind one does have to pick gear that fits ... 
Who has Luv for the Lyngdorf 2170 and is thinking about the 3400.
@grey9hound thanks for asking.  I just can’t share my design as I work hard at it and it is unique. I will say it sounds very rich, organic and natural.  The tone is beautiful and it helps your total music collection sound good.  Not just those fe...
