Removed my Audible Illusions Mod 3 from rack after 16 years and feet have turned to goo
I 2nd the Goo Gone product,doesn't have harsh chemistry and really works.I believe all wal marts or similar stores sale it.You may need some new footers though.Kenny. 
MQA DAC or Not?
I can definitely concur about the song "what's new" by Linda Ronstadt,the vocals on the mqa version do have such a unpleasant glare but the music is ok.The regular non mqa version of this song is fine.My direct stream does unfold mqa,but I'm a fai...

porscheracer,You have some very good choices given to you and the decision may take some time for you to sort out.Owning the DI's which are 95 db efficient the best choice for me is always going to be a preamp that doesn't have anymore voltage gai...
