Tube preamp for pass labs ?
@mesch  The motherlode XL and Custom 300B Pset My plan is to have the motherland go to both the 300B and my Luxman M10X. At least until I decide the M10X is not needed.😁

How long does it take your tube amp to warm up?
@ozzy62  So your Aric warms up fast?  
Aric Audio and my system
@ozzy62  What preamp are you using now with your super 300b? I have been emailing back and forth with Aric regarding the custom 300b. I'll will most likely go with his Custom 6SN7 Linestagebut was wonder what others might be using.   
Best RCA interconnect up to ~$100?
Custom  You can chose every component. I just had some balanced interconnects made with solid silver and the exact XLR connectors that are in my Luxman amp. still kept it under $150. His builds are so well put together I’ve almost entirely switc... 
Something Fishy with Brian Hoyer
Several have brought this up and now that others are figuring out they weren’t the only ones scammed the post keep coming and others on some FB pages. Unfortunately I don’t think this is going to turn out good for a lot of people but hopefully it... 
Brian Hoyer / In-Tone / kasa
Wow! I hate dishonest people. I live in KC so I googled this guy and looked on FB. He definitely sounds kind of shady for several reasons. Anyway he has a FB account and is a member area of our local audio group (Kansas City Home audio enthusias...

Aurender Conductor app reliability and user experience
@ghdprentice Bummer. The blue sound node allows skipping using paradise radio plus their paradise radio app does as well.    Sure would me nice if we could do it on conductor app as well. Thanks for the reply.  
Aurender Conductor app reliability and user experience

AES/EBU vs RCA s/pdif into dac, RCA analog out
@heymikey  I’m curious about the Dac performance of the A20. I find mine to be as good as anything I have tried in my system. In your comments you mention you like the a20 dac more tyan the external DAC but you still the Weiss.   I have not trie... 
Recommendations for a shipper
I was impressed with UPS until I saw one of them carrying my 120 lbs amp across the yard on the verge of dropping it the entire way.    Get the insurance no matter who you use. UPS has a good reputation of righting the wrong from what I read.   ... 
Do I REALLY need preamp and what do I upgrade the amp too?
I decided to use my Aurender A20 as my pre and spend most of my budget on a Luxman M10X. The volume control is not as precise as when using a preamp plus I do miss the Loudness functions of my last  integrated amp.   I do think I made the correc... 
Base trap spacing
I had the same issue along with windows close to the corners. The new round traps were a way better fit for in the corners.
