Studio Electric m4
I ended up buying the M4.   Should have them in a week or so.   Could not find one negative word about them.   Dan Wright personally owns a pair and often demos his gear at shows with Studio Electric.      
Sonic Frontiers preamp in standby mode
These are still great preamps.   Enjoy.   12AT7 are easy to find compared to other NOS tubes and usually pretty affordable.    I'm using a JJ 12AT7  in mine now and it sounds pretty good.   I had a Mullard 6201 in there and it sounded excellent.     
Sonic Frontiers preamp in standby mode
A SFL 1 doesn't have a standby mode.  It has a 45 second mute timer.   The green LED will flash upon the first 45 seconds of warm up, then you hear the relay click and get music.   If the Mute switch is lifted the LED will flash indicating it is m... 
Enjoying the Original Music Streaming Format - Analog FM Stereo
I also have a MD 102 which is also a great tuner.   Unfortunately some local stations are being moved to HD or AM in favor of talk / news radio.

Listening to my tuner right now.  I just pulled my Fanfare FT1a out of the closet.  Forgot what a great tuner this is.   
Replace tubes yearly?
I bought a tester when I started using amps with rectifiers and four pin antique tubes.   It save me from disaster with my 300b.  A rectifier took out the fuse on my tester (basically a small light bulb) and not my amp.    Not practical to own/bu... 
Tune-In Stations With Great Sound
I thought Tune In sounded pretty dull.  I have the apps to a few of my favorite stations on my phone and tablet.  I will use them at work or sometimes plug the phone into my DAC.  I mainly use my Vault's Audicy app for radio lately. Sounds pretty... 
Replace tubes yearly?
Never keep tube gear powered up.  It's a waste of electricity and dangerous.   Ever see a KT88 go nuclear red plate with arcing and flashing and sparking?  It's scary.  I've had good luck with tubes over the past 25 years that I've been using the... 
NEW Tekton Design Speakers - The Bonnevilles
Hideous....  
Any Eversolo Amp F10 owners out there ?
It’s a DA2. Card. No further FW. It worked great. I believe it is as simple as them not having the right USB VID/PID. Vendor ID and Product ID tells the computer/ streamer what USB device is used. It used to display on the A6 before v 1.2.98. It w...

Only version 1.2.50 FW and below work correctly.  New unit will not resolve the problem.

The dealer offered a replacement but FW is the problem.  So basically no fix.   A new one will have the more recent FW that did not fix the problem.   Eversolo did nothing for me .     
Any Eversolo Amp F10 owners out there ?
I have always had great support in this hobby.   I attribute that to buying mostly American brands.   45 plus years and only a handful of problems.  Pretty amazing.   I sold or gave away almost every component in still working condition.  Compani... 
Audible Illusions Modulus 3A noise
Best advice is buy a replacement tube from a dealer that tests for shorts, Gm, and noise. It's only a few bucks more per tube.  If it uses 6922 like most of their gear does then i would suggest Gold Lion 6922 phono pre grade.  6922 are hit or mis... 
Any Eversolo Amp F10 owners out there ?
Bliss HIFi, A6 Master, would not recognize McIntosh 8950 DAC via USB immediately after FW update. Worked for almost a year without issue . They blamed the Mac, me, cables, said it was not FW. So I asked for the old FW, denied. They said " it’s da...
