Flare Audio
I tried them, primarily a high frequency attenuation. Did nothing for my tinnitus, but wasn't expecting anything there, honestly. I would not recommend them. 
Problem with phono stage
emilm,Ralph and others were discussing the cables from the tonearm to the Lehman. Not as important from Lehman to your Arcam. 
Interesting Fed Ex encounter...
There is a good chance it is somewhere in the system, just not scanned appropriately at some exchange. Same thing has happened to me, but it was one of two packages. Never showed in their system but showed up two days after the first package??No s... 
Discussion of Class D Amps Application & Experiences
I picked up a pair of Nuprime 9 running bridged into electrostatics to replace a ML 336 that died. Maybe not as sweet, but overall I do not feel like I am missing that much. I have since played with a VAC Avatar and Marsh A400s and feel that I am ...

You have many more options now with the Node. The first thing to try is streaming a higher resolution signal than Spotify. Most have a free trial period, and none would be easily accessible without jailbreaking the Fire.The other is the fact that ...

Novice here looking for insight on equipment ive aquired
The Aragon 8008 is a very worthwhile SS amp. Especially if it is the BB or balanced version. Several for sale now on the 'gon, etc, and still being made, albeit by another manufacturer at an inflated price.Aerial speakers could be nice depending o... 
Signal break up on 7 month old Bluesound Node 2i
I would think it is the file from Tidal and not your equipment since it is the only one that does it. Possibly stream from Amazon or Pandora, etc and see if the breakup is part of the recording as Mofimadness suggested??

Extravagant shipping charge
I don't understand all the grief the OP is getting here. $150 is too much to ship anything under a grand and smaller than laundry basket (size is more expensive than weight until well over 100#. I did a quick estimate on UPS.com and it was $49. Se... 
Things that make you go, "Hmmmmm...."
Not a CD player but does play CD's- Any late model Oppo player seems to be in the "I missed out and need to pay too much now" to get one. Plus you can sell it on the video boards also. 
Worth pursuing analog sound from digital?

Lightning quick DYNAMIC amp in the under $1000 range
The Nuforce STA200 is a wonderfully detailed amp for appropriate speakers. I purchased one while my ML 336 was out for cap replacement, and it bettered my expectations in every way. Trounced my VAC EL34 integrated in air/spatial cues and equal in ... 
Who are some of elite sub woofers?
My Kinergetics SW-800 twin tower subs with active stereo crossover are might nice, but rarely come up for sale on Audiogon. Saw some from a dealer in the NE late last year. Response to 20Hz in my room, but very tight and fast. Typically around you...
