Quicksilver Mid Mono - power matching
I have used them with Revel M106, plenty of power...PSB M2, a 4 Ohm speaker...drove them no sweat.  Current and favorite pairing?  Mid Monos with my Heresy III.  Great combo,  but the latter mentioned combos sounded excellent too.    I am using KT... 
Pink Floyd and Weed
Was listening g to my Quicksilver Amp last night.... I bought it sight unseen.... based on my experience with Mikes amps.... it is a great amp...it bests my Neve RNHP and the amp in my RME adi-2 DAC.The RME / Quicksilver combo kills it ....  I als... 
Bluesound installed DAC - music killer?
I have a Vault 2i, love it.... doesn't sound bad through analog out but sounds great with a good DAC.... using a RME adi-2 and its a great combo. 
Msb dacs why not alot of postings
Back in the early days of digital they had some good affordable offerings.   Now they are out of reach......   
Whats playing on your system today?
Chris Robinson " This Magnificent Distance"   whether you like Black Crowes or not, it is a masterpiece.   I've turned a few fellow music lovers onto this one and all have liked it.   It is one of my favorite albums , give it a spin, or stream act... 
What makes a DAC so expensive?
I just bought the RME adi-2 FS DAC and it is awesome.   For me it checked all the boxes, great sound.... unbelievable feature set,  made in Germany,  full function remote, and most importantly at the price where I felt it made sense because let's ... 
EMM Labs or PS Audio?
Ed Meitner is to digital what Nelson Pass is to analog....   
Bluesound Node Issues After the Firmware Upgrade
I really love my Vault 2i but the past few upgrades I had issues.   Works fine now but after the last update I had to reboot the unit , it would not communicate with my tablet. 
Any RME ADI-2 DAC FS owners here?
Enjoy !!! FYI, I re mapped remote keys 1 2 3 to allow me to toggle through some of the digital filters. I did this because sometimes I would accidentally hit key 1 putting the unit in mono mode... since its unlikely I’ll ever want mono I changed t...

Such a great DAC.....    I love it !!!     A little weird getting used to the 1/2  1U size form factor , it's way smaller than it looks but that is a small concession for such a capable device. 
Conrad Johnson or PrimaLuna
CAV 45 is a great sounding amp 
Balanced Audio Technology MK-30 tubes. Alternative to Sovtek 6922
Buy the Gold Lion 6922, sure Genelex never even made a 6922 but it is a great tube .   When using a single dual triple make sure you get one that the triodes are matched.   This is important if you are using a pre , dac, headphone amp with a singl... 
6922 tube
I respectfully disagree.   My pre uses a single 6922 and it absolutely makes a difference in that preamp.  A Gold Lion sounds different than a JJ 6922, different than a Reflector 6h23n eb.....They all sound good but they are definitely different  
Tubed Preamp recommendations?
Quicksilver remote pre for $1500 new would be at the top of my list.... i have a c-j Classic 2SE and yes they are hard on tubes but if you use a Gold lion 6922 like I have it should last a long time.... i just pulled one out that was 3 years old a... 
Tube amp crackle noise with pre-amp volume at zero.
Try cleaning the pins with denatured alcohol or 99% isopropyl and carefully clean sockets with a non bristle pipe cleaner and a tiny amount of alcohol.... then when everything sounds great , sitting down with some of your favorite alcohol is in or...
