Just want to say that both Don and Roy provide wonderful customer service with their helpfulness and insight.  
Linlai E 6sn7 tubes
Is the “H” the same as the HiFI 6sn7?   The HiFi are about $40 and not sure if they are even worth it

I tried the unplug suggestion in hopes something would reset.  Left it unplugged over night and no dice.  I sent an email to Roy if he has any suggestions while I wait for Don to reply to my remote and upgrade questions.    Fingers crossed this c...

Someone suggested unplugging, wait a few minutes and plug back in. Hoping that resets the Khozmo so the remote starts working again

I sent an email to Don asking about upgrades and my remote. My remote stopped working and thought it was dead batteries. Replaced them and still don’t work. In my music listening excitement, I got startled how good the vocals and emotions that was... 
Linlai E 6sn7 tubes
Phew, I read all 15 pages.  I am interested to hear how this compares to the Shunguang in my DS-2 but am sure these will fit.  My tubes aren’t exposed and would have cut holes due to the socket savers.   Maybe I’ll try the hi-fi version one day si...

I’m unsure how many hours the DS has.  The prev owner didn’t provide much info on the questions I was asking. Just that there weren’t any issues.  For the price, I got it, I was taking a bit of gamble.  Especially since he wanted to do COD which I...

Very kind of you.  If I can’t source any, I’ll be sure to reach out to you.    I’m on my 3rd hour and an improvement just happened where soundstage detail in the back got clearer.

I definitely will ask him @lous when I get the power cord.  I also need ask him for a screw and wrench for one of the knobs.  One of them fell off and noticed it was missing the screw.  Prior owner didn’t mention this but this is a very easy fix. ... 
Anyone try modern 6sn7 Shuguang WE type vs NOS RCA,Ken Rad
I just acquired a DS preamp that has these tubes.  I was shopping for some NOS RCA, Ken Rads or Sylvania but that has gone to a halt.  These tubes are very transparent, quick, digs deep and musical.  Very good PRAT but oddly at times can sound a b...

Just acquired a DS pre with the rare HT bypass feature that I need for my setup.  Didn’t think I would one with the HT bypass so Christmas came early for me.  Very easy to enjoy this hobby with a wife that supports and also enjoys music as much as... 
Thinking of taking the plunge.
+1 on the Grace Digital Link.  It's a very good streamer for the price.  Amazon (U)HD has been a bit confusing on what it is streaming.  I've tried connecting my old Note 8 using USB output to my dac and bit rate is limited similar to the Grace Li... 
Has anyone added a small subwoofer to 2 channel and been thrilled with the result?
Monolith 10in is a nice small sub.   
Anyone experience the Magnepan Tri Center
@don_1 what are you using to drive you MGCC3?  I found the CC3 is fnicky to get tuned with Audessy so I can get clear dialogue.  I almost went the route of a dedicated amp for my CC2 since I wasn't sure my Marantz had enough juice. I did the Audes... 
AV Receiver with Integrated Amp - Sub Connections?
If have room, I would just get another sub if you care about the LFE & ULF of your HT.  I tried doing what you were doing but somewhere along the chain, I couldn't make the sub work for both configs based on the bass I wanted.  If you don't co...
