Geoff didn't go anywhere.  He's  a alien. He just went home. :-)

Brinkmann Bardo or upper Sota tt.  
Bluesound Node 2021 DAC - I sold my Denafrips Ares II
I've had a original Node2 for 5 years now, and it has been mostly glitch free. It had a few connection problems in the beginning, but with successive updates from Bluesound, it has been running perfectly.  My suggestion  to all Node users is to ge... 
The Sota Cosmos Vacuum Turntable
I have a 35 year old refurbished Sota Sapphire turntable and it's the best tt I ever had. Love it!

Nothing to worry about. I had a amp that did the same thing.

I live in Az now but being from Wisconsin originally, I'm a Bucks fan!  
Need speaker recommendations.
I'm using a pair of Vandersteen Treo Ct's approx 11 inches from front wall with good results.  
Those who seek to deny access to information
@surfcat  Since you've leveled your sights with a barrage of name calling, which pig(s) have you been wrestling with???  
It comes with a balance knob?!?! I'll take it!
If you ever had a multi tubed preamp or integrated, you would find out very quickly as to why a balance control can be so important.   
Wilson Sabrina (not X), Sonus Faber Nova 2, or Vandersteen Treo CT
I too, own Treo Ct's. The time and phase alignment is very important in Vandy's as this is what gives it it's "rightness" of SQ.  
Who is using Nagaoka Phono Cartridges?
I recently went to a low output MC cart. which sounds very good as it should for $1200. Before it, I used a Nagaoka MP-200 which is a wonderful sounding cartridge. For $600 and under, I believe the Nags are hard to beat!  
Advice needed on MC cartridges
@skyscraper  I too have recently got hold of a Hana ML low output  moving coil cart. mounted on a Sota Sapphire tt. The Hana simply out performed every other cart. I ever had. One sweet sounding cart. to be sure.  
$1000 (used ok) Streamer Dac recommendation please
Bluesound Node2 for $600 new.  Very listenable streamer/dac for the money. You'll be surprised, it's that good.  
Audio nonsense
Another vote for the Tice clock. Talk about snake oil!
