Short?
erik, I'm not sure what that means - cap.  Capacitor?  And where, the house, the outlet, or the amp?   
Short?
I forgot to mention that I also have a Niagara 1200 power conditioner.  Not sure if its also supposed to act like a surge protector but it doesn't help prevent the problem either.      
Add External DAC or Upgrade to a New Streamer / DAC?
Gemoody, I asked the same question to Upscale and was told that the components are better so lower noise - although at double the price.  I would also like to find an upgrade, but I don't really need the 4k video screen that is on the rs150.  I ju... 
Add External DAC or Upgrade to a New Streamer / DAC?
Bliss, I was just looking at the Aurender N200.  Can it be used as a stand alone streamer with input from wired internet and then output to the amp with RCA's?  It looks like it only has usb and coax.

I really like the Blu app, easy to use and I can stream Tidal.  It also holds my entire CD collection.  Having said that, I have considered upgrading.  I listened to a Rose rs150 ($5000), but it didn't sound 4 times better than the Bluesound Vault.  
Digitally recorded vinyl vs streaming
I have a McIntosh tube amp, and a VPI table.  For Streaming I have a Bluesound Vault.  But my question is, on a nice or a very nice system, will vinyl recoreded in the 90's be any better than the streaming since the song was originally recorded di...

What about drying?  How long do you dry, or let sit, before you re-sleeve?  
How rare is an audiophile
My guess is that its more like 1 in 100,000.  I live near Ft. Lauderdale.  While there are 2 good record stores, all the audio stores have closed or converted to smart home / home theater stores.  There is one in Palm Beach and maybe 2 in Miami.  ...
