Luxman SQ-N100 noise
Thanks for the input. I'll try this.  
Has anyone owned Triode Co. products?
I have listened to them in various demos. They sound superb and the build quality is very high. I have not owned one. I listened to the CD player and the integrated amps trv-35se and 88. I have not listened to the 300b as I don't have speakers tha...

Quick poll: Most enjoyable audio magazine ?
I like Stereophile. I take things they review with a grain of salt, but it seems to me that the magazine is trying to foster a culture of audio enjoyment. I read the magazine in its electronic copy through Zinio and it looks great on the iPad. Its...
