| Whats in your second system? @uberwaltz I somehow missed your question regarding my 'rolling out' of my outdoor system. Yes I have the electronics on a stand with large wheels. Roll out the electronics. Place speakers on stands left in place. Talk about a slow response. Sorry | |
| 3 budget speaker cable choices Congrats on your purchase. A quality cable at a great price. | |
| Seriously considering tube preamp…opinions? I believe that amplification components that are tube based, simple in design, and having point to point wiring best fit that description. | |
| Used DAC choice: Schiit modi 2u for $69 vs. Peachtree DAC-iT? Sometimes it just depends on one's mood at the time. No need to worry as you have both transport and streamer. Ripping your CDs as uncompressed files is key. | |

| Best tube preamp for Quicksilver V4 tube mono's (newest KT150 version) Yes, I remain in communication with Aric regarding his amplifiers. | |
| Line fault at the outlet -- do I need an electrician? Yes, likely receptacle is wired in reverse polarity. Turn off breaker, dislodge receptacle, check it out. The plug in testers are nice. You might want to test other outlets in your home. | |
| Another new DAC: Audio Mirror Yes, great post. The AM tubadour is addictive, a great addition to my system for all the reasons terry mentioned. | |
