SoundSmith repair time
I sent two carts in on May 5th. I just got them back today. 1 Dynavector DV-10X5 to level 2 and a Dynavector DV-20X2H to level 3. I am listening to the 20 right now and I am shocked at the difference! It is not even in the same league as the origi...

Jolida FX Tube DAC
My 2 cents on tubes with the 502 and Jolida. The tube combo I liked the most was Mullard 12AT's and Mullard NOS 12AX's in the Pre and Northern Electrics in the Glass FX. I moved the NE to the 12AX7 position on the 502 when I sold the DAC. The Mull... 
What is the best sounding DAC at $2000-$4000?
I have become a big fan of the Wyred4Sound DAC1. I have not heard the DAC2, but the USB integration on the 1 is killer and either is in your price range. 
Jolida FX Tube DAC
Thanks for all the great answers. I did like the Jolida, but the lack of a good driver for my Mac has been an issue and I could never quite get enough warmth out of it. I have moved to the Wyred 4 Sound DAC-1 and I am very happy so far. The integr...

Ok, I received the Jolida 302CRC back today in the form of a 502CRC (I had it upgraded by Jolida) also, I had all the resistors upgraded. This is now as good as it gets from the factory. I am now using GL Kt88's, Mullard 12AT and NE 12AX input tub...

Minori,Thanks for the detailed plan. I like the very structured approach and as soon as the AMP returns, I am going to try your methods. As far as the outlets, my problem is the distance from the source. Should I purchase long PC's (~12 feet to th...

Blk25, Thanks! I have gone through the above steps and I'm leaning towards the AMP. Nothing else changes the hum. The right negative changes on the speaker are the only way I can make it stop. ( On both speakers ) and switching the speakers lends ...
