Indoor FM antenna
Thanks big Gregg! I wasn't aware of that product. It's difficult to find, but I'll find one. There has to be one gathering dust somewhere.  
Indoor FM antenna
Thanks. I have only a g-type connector, so I need the co-ax termination on the antenna. I tried the antenna I have at various heights and orientations and no joy. I'm attempting to tune an HD2 signal, so it's all or nothing.I have no access to the... 
Replace HDD in Sony HAP Z1ES with an SSD
I'm self employed, so my boss is a jerk. He sends me to places like Crudistan on short notice for weeks at a time. Never anywhere like the South of France or Ibiza.I can tell you that my tastes in music are rather narrow, so my experience is to be... 
looking for ideas on must have classical music
You'll like Presto Music. You can sample most of their music and much of it is available in one or another hi-def format. CDs are available for all. Classical music consists in a vast array of sub-genres, and almost limitless modes of expression. ... 
Suggestion for best stereo amp ?
I think you'd like a Bryson 4B cubed or a top-of-the-line Pass Labs. They're powerful and nuanced and have superb dynamic balance excellent timbre and a velvety smooth transparency across scales. They like good cables, and they'll make those Wilso... 
Inexpensive tablet well suited as a control point for my streamers, including Sony
Many thanks to those who were so helpful. I'm a putz when it comes to anything the least bit techie, but I've finally got an iPad Mini to work smoothly for both. Thanks all!

Preamp under $2,000 used
I will, in a few days, have an Audible Illusions modulus 3a pre for sale. $1,800.00, new tubes, cosmetically perfect. This is a giant killer, just superb and a very good phono section.  
UK to US step up/down voltage converter
My local audio shop have consented to convert the DAC to 110 for a reasonable price. Happy ending! Thank you very much for your help.  
UK to US step up/down voltage converter
I'm using a UK DAC (Cambridge Audio Azur 851D) with a hard-wired line cord; that's fit with a Schuko plug. The DAC will be powered from an Audioquest NRG 10 cord plugged into a Furman line conditioner. So the step device needs to accept the male S...
