Funny, I found the Clarity TCs to sound the best by a good margin in my preamp builds. I suppose it comes down to use, design and preferences.   
Bluesound Node 2i vs Upscale streamers
Need to optimize the $500 unit to really know what you have.   
Bluesound Node 2i vs Upscale streamers
Ok, I just hooked up a BS Node 2 I purchased used for my daughter. I hard wired it with Ethernet. I have a good upgraded power cord on it. I have a nice coax cable on it sending digital to my dac. Sounds great and a breeze to set up.

Everyone has a smart phone to download the Bluesound app. It’s great they have an app for music file management and playback which Sonore does not.  Bluesound is a nice one box solution for for those  who can’t spend more than $250-$550 and want a...

Tube Research Labs Golden Triode Reference Stereo Tube Preamplifier
No, there is no way of getting his designs on a schematic. This is especially true of his tube voltage regulation designs which are a big part of his designs. He was very secretive about his builds. If one was to have purchased his company, then m...

Sent you a PM. I built a couple of these as Paul taught me a ton about them. Do mods/upgrades to them also. I don’t think it’s the tranny BTW.  Take care,Bill

Thanks all! I ended up finding some nice Meadowlark Osprey speakers at a great price on Craigslist. Also purchased a Nuprime IDA-8 at a great price. Both for $1400 total. Now need to get a streamer for cheap with built in computer board as she doe...

Nice work! I am sure your comments are spot on regarding your particular amps design and capacitance needs.  Always best to try and learn! Great job! 
New Omega E Mat from Perfect Path Technologies
Yes indeed, we need to stop engaging the folks who have no idea what these mats do because they have not touched, used, or critically tested them over time in their sound system. It’s like me giving an opinion of a restaurant and dogmatically stat...
