Something For The Fuse Guys ...
“Seriously, how many times can the sound of a system be “totally transformed” by replacing a fuse?”@mitch2, you’ve nailed it. I was wondering the same in reading Frank’s posts. It seems his zest for ‘tweaks’ has no ceiling....let the saga continue... 
Do we really need anything greater than 24/96? Opinions?
It all starts from the source (mastering process) regardless of format.  I have recordings in DSD that easily trumps their low resolution counterparts. Some of the 24bit XRCD’s I own are simply outstanding, in contrast the 16bit/44.1kHz file of sa... 
A civil discussion about the state of Audio Research
I had the similar experience as monoogan when I sent my DAC9 for USB upgrade couple of months ago. The service was performed within 48 hours after they received the DAC.  But then it sat there in shipping and billing department for a week. When I ... 
Innuos Statement Review
“There are other options within and below this price point that are very good and don’t require the additional filter“. One may consider JCAT Signature LAN Cable. I currently own this and SoTM dCBL CAT7 and can say unequivocally that I like them b...

Thank you Tammy for the detailed clarification.  
Best budget streamer on the market now?
I found Android to be a step behind the iOS when it comes to music server apps. It seems developers favor the iOS platform over Android. For non-iOS users, Roon is the only saving grace 😊 
Best budget streamer on the market now?
I would ruled out any streamer with a wall wart for obvious reasons.

uber,If you’re no hurry, you may find used Node 2 under $300 🤞 
Best budget streamer on the market now?
uberYou may want to define your budget. Compare to that $40 marvel, everything else may not seem budget friendly. IMO, Bluesound Node 2i is a nice streamer with a well laid out app. It meets all of your requirements 😊 
A civil discussion about the state of Audio Research
I am with @ghasley, by sticking to 6H30 and KT-150 tubes they have taken away the fun of tube rolling. Both of these tubes are very linear sounding and the implementation of them in their latest amp (160M) failed to invoke any emotional connection... 
Something For The Fuse Guys ...
Bingo...mystery solved. That must be it...no boutique fuses and no PPT ‘magic pads’. No wonder all but two systems at RMAF sounded bad 😳

@bifwynne,I recommend vivatubes.com, they have proven to be extremely reliable. My last two orders, Quad of KT-150 and pair of 300-B were perfect. Pricing is very competitive and
