Quick Luxman R-117 question
@mofojo Ah crud, well i'll give it a try, then look at cleaning or @erik_squires replacing them, if that's easy enough. Thanks for the help! Putting the volume slightly above 25% seems to override any problem, but that's just a tad too loud unle... 
Quick Luxman R-117 question
@imhififan @erik_squires Thank you for the responses - I am having relay problems/cutout on channel A, so am going to try B outputs, and was wondering if there is any difference - thanks again!  
Qobuz.
I’m in the Qobuz beta now. Observations so far:- I *love* Hi-Res audio enough to probably stick with Qobuz over Tidal, despite:-The lack of an Apple TV app-Many many missing albums, not just in hi-res, but missing completely, by smaller indie arti... 
Can anyone recommend someone to service a vintage receiver in the city of San Francisco?
It's a Nakamichi Stasis - thanks for the recommendation! 
Term for an LP that is about the quality you'd expect to pull out of a dollar bin?
Thanks guys - was thinking along the lines of a slang term. But this works too. 
Looks like Tidal is doomed!
I guess I abused the free trials with Tidal and got *BANNED* - meaning, I they won’t even let me pay for the service! Never liked you anyway. So I pay my $20/mo to Deezer, whose app is sort of glitchy, but it’s basically a good service. I find it’... 
Favorite Dylan?

Alternatives to Klipsch for efficient/very efficient sub-$300 listening speakers?
Thank you guys. Yeah, looking for small-ish (like 8" wide) bookshelves to play basically everything at a medium volume for a small area (so close by). I will probably go used Klipsch but thought there might be some other interesting suggestions. S... 
Is Tidal in trouble?
Looks like Qobuz is coming to the USA this year, as well. 
Is Tidal in trouble?
@joeeuro Deezer HiFi - not MQA but CD-quality. If you're in Europe, I think Qobuz might have better quality? 
Your last concert was to see who and when?
Jake Bugg last month. Was great! 
John Prine
Have seen John (and Iris, as mentioned) many times. John is of course great. Saw him in I think October at the big free yearly bluegrass festival here in San Francisco - of course his voice is very different, but still enjoyable. He wrote so many ... 
Have you ever hated the sound of your system one day, and loved it the next?
Yes, absolutely - I have this experience often. Haven't read through all these responses yet, so maybe someone already said this, but one factor you might not be taking into consideration are the fluctuations of your actual ears. According to an a...
