Bluesound and BluOS
I have only had one quirk,  and that is sometimes when I try to launch on my tab it can not find the Vault .  I have to close all open windows and launch the icon again and it finds it no problem.  I don't know if its the tablet or Vault but know ... 
Mcintosh MC275 alternatives?
Quicksilver “40 watt Mid Monos. Not pretty but no better amp available.” Ugly amps need love too  I have owned these amps since early 2015 .  They were only 13 months old when I got them.  I can not say enough good things about Quicksliver in ge... 
What's the best and/or favorite piece of equipment you've owned? And do you still own it?
Zesto Leto Preamp.    Amazing piece of equipment   
Best and Worst customer service?

Digital All in ones, i.e. Naim Uniti Nova

After the thrill is gone
I haven’t had too many speakers where the honeymoon was over , it was more due to wanting to try something “better “ and most of the time the speaker was better but not always     Some I kept and others were sold to finance their replacement     
Streamer Value Question Innous vs Bluesound
First off, I have had DACs since the early nineties. That said when I first got into digital files I was playing them through my OPPO and a USB HDD through my NAD M51. That was a pain to make copies through my computer. Then I bought a Vault 2i. ...
