Very sad indeed condolences to his family. 
Free $3K preamp to lucky listener who names it
Cool idea thanks I submitted. 
I want to use the Tidal music service but my dac
JJ35 I was looking at the Wyred Remedy reclocker device after reading on Wyred's website that their Connect upgrade might lead to a weaker wifi signal and the signal hear in downtown DC is a bit dodgy at times. Got an email back from Troy at Wyred... 
I want to use the Tidal music service but my dac
Cool it may not be the most audiophile solution but it's easy and the interface is good and you can control it from your ipad or even your phone. Good luck!

Grannyring what DAC are you using? I'm sending the signal via coax from my Sonos Connect to a Yamamoto YDA-1 and through it Tidal sounds fantastic, to my ears at least. The Connect will run about $350 the there are certainly some upgrade options o... 
Herron pre upgrade...
I previously owned a Herron VTSP 1a-166 preamp and my experience echoes yours and Tenebaum, I found the preamp to be overly neutral, lacking a bit of air and dimensionality. I ended up selling it and have never looked back. I currently run an olde... 
Primaluna & Klipsch Cornwall frustration HELP
A bit of clarification the first time you hooked the Primaluna amp up was with these speakers? Do you have another pair of speakers for comparison? And as someone mentioned above did you try the 4 ohm tap on your amp? Assuming it has one of course?

Speaker Cables for Sonus Faber Olympica III
Thanks I didn't realize they were called Unity Audio. Pretty cool looking but sadly local pickup only. A good deal for someone in FL however.

Zd I wanted to look at those speakers and I can't find the listing your talking about. Do you have a link? Thanks. 
Speaker Cables for Sonus Faber Olympica III
Yes I have Nano Reference interconnect in my system from DAC to preamp and from preamp to amp. I found them to be amazingly quiet and transparent letting the music really pop like never before. Very impressive cables at any price and a steal for w...

No I have never heard his speakers ZD, but based on his cables I'm not surprised. Robert seems to have a good handle on technology as it applies to sound quality. I'm a rather recent convert since he started selling direct here on Agon.

Djfst my pleasure I hate to see people agonize about what should be a fun and rewarding hobby. Best of luck to you and I hope you enjoy the process!
