| Good service from DH Labs They've been around forever for a reason good wire and obviously good CS nice to hear good reports like this. | |
| Lower power on left channel It's almost certainly a tube or tube going bad you have some good advice above. | |
| Rein in the winter static Good call on a humidifier @audioquest4life i use a Vesync here and beyond static it also keeps your skin and throat from getting dry! | |
| Bluesound Node Icon @davegolf2424 I don't have an Innuos but I used an Sbooster BOTW with my Auralic Aries Mini it's really well built and gave a nice bump in SQ. | |
