MHDT Orchid or Lampizator Amber 3?
No way opening up the case should or will void a warranty. I am not just hooking up a piece of gear that was shipped from Poland without first making sure all tubes are seated properly and nothing is loose.  Standard operating practice. @lampizato... 
What's up with TMR Audio?
Seems nobody is perfect.  ‘‘Tis the season for joy and forgiveness.  All is and will be good around this transaction. Enjoy family!  
What's up with TMR Audio?
No issue, it’s the holidays. You will get your piece of gear as they are the real deal and sell to many, many happy customers.  You are right about how they should have messaging stating when they will be back from vacation.  I suppose they felt w... 
Preamp Output Capacitor: Mundorf Supreme vs. Supreme Silver Oil
I have used and continue to use the Duelund silver and Sn-Cu bypass caps. Both are great. I find the Sn-cu, like the main Sn-Cu cap, are the best caps out there. They are simply beautiful sounding with all the detail and openness one could ever wa... 
Network Switches
I 3rd it! Thanks for the update.  The Cat 7 Ethernet cables I purchased from SOtM really upgraded the sound of my system.  They do matter!  
New Omega E Mat from Perfect Path Technologies
I concur with placement on the inside of the door of your breaker box. I also placed one of the original mats on top of my BPT Balanced Power Conditioner with great sonic results.

I find SS rectification provides for more powerful and controlled bass. When I build tube preamps and amps I always compare SS to tube rectification and the bass has always been better with SS. This is one area the Orchid did not take a back seat ...

No need to change out the chip in the Orchid. Folks who have and then compared to a fully burned in stock chip now say the stock chip is great. Output caps can be Jupiter copper foil, Miflex 1uf, Audience XO or the new Vcap ODAM The Western Electr...

I also have tinnitus and I will say the Orchid is very easy on the ears and I am able to turn it up without setting off my tinnitus.  While the Orchid is not as extended or vibrant as the Golden Atlantic it has musicality in spades and is easy on ... 
Does raising speaker cables off the floor really make a big difference?
I suppose it depends on the room, flooring material, cable length, cable covering,  cable weight and perhaps many more variables.  I suppose room humidity also plays a role.  Easy for us to have differing experiences with this lifting tweak.  
Does raising speaker cables off the floor really make a big difference?
I like tweaks and have a bunch of them. This one has never revealed itself as sounding better.  I run my cables under my floor in my conditioned crawl space and my system sounds the same as when I had those funny looking ceramic risers all over th...

I will let Colin respond as I don’t remember. The Golden Atlantic spread a vivid and lively soundstage that placed the instruments and vocalists in the space with you. It was more vivid sounding than the Orchid. I found myself wanting to turn up t...

Hello all. Today I compared the $10,000 Atlantic Golden TRP to my $1400 or so upgraded Orchid. Yes, not a fair comparison due to the vast price difference. Colin of Gestalt Audio in Nashville had it set up in his killer system. Did I find my Orchi...
