| Chinese DAC's @tubeguy76 You didn’t answer my question. How much inventory should she have purchased? Enough for 3 months, 6 months, a year or two years? The constant flip flopping going on makes for an incredibly unstable time in manufacturing. Not just ... | |
| Chinese DAC's @lordmelton So, don’t buy the cheap Chinese products, and Manley shouldn’t increase their prices. Seems like someone wants to have their cake, and eat it too. | |
| Chinese DAC's @tubeguy76 So, should she have stocked parts for 3 months, 6 months, a year, two years worth of production? The, up until recently, stable global supply chain, means people don’t keep big inventories of parts. Real time logistics and shippin... | |
| Chinese DAC's @skchun Because their countries have put tariffs on parts made, and coming in from the US. it’s global economics. Parts get more expensive, and the item gets more expensive every step of the way. | |
| Is it possible to find a good DAC for under $50, 000? Thanks for the link. That was a very informative and interesting presentation on DACs, signal processing and the resulting signal quality.

Nothing wrong with building a system around a particular amp, especially if there is a specific tube you like the sound of. Low powered tube amps have limitations, as has been stated above, with speaker choices. More often than not, they require b... | |
| 12au7 tube? Call Andy at Vintage Tube Services. Doesn’t matter what tube you decide on if you can’t trust that it is working as it’s supposed to. If you buy from Andy, it will be as it should. | |
| Preamp with separate volume control for each channel? Um, it would seem like your amp was not repaired? It should be working properly. I don’t understand why people are suggesting solutions to remedy a problem that any half decent tech should be able to fix? Send it back, and have them fix it pro... | |

| Amplifier Power tubes - important to sound? I built an EL84 Single Ended amp. The donor amp camp with some JJ’s. Amp was very much missing something with the JJ’s. Ordered a pair of The Tube Store preferred series 7189’s. The amp changed completely in its sonic presentation. It now soun... | |
