Who has kids that are in a band or have been?
@ticat I hope my son has time for it at some point in his life. I’m afraid it’s going to be a while, though. I have a house full of amps and guitars. One room was dedicated for that purpose. It’s not used now except when the grandkids are here. We... 
What are your go to LP's for evaluating new gear or new tubes?
I spent some bucks on high quality vinyl. Some sound a smidge better than streaming, but not enough for me to play vinyl when streaming is so easy.  Personal preference. I do have the Jennifer Warnes and Kacey Musgraves on vinyl.  James Taylor - H...

@yoyoyaya The drummer went to college for music. Well schooled and talented.  He's now doing sound production for a huge church.  My son took a lot of guitar lessons.  The latter years, he focused more on music theory than just technique.  One th...

@normb Interesting history. Thanks for sharing. Being a band dad was a life style for a number of years. It was fun, for sure.

Check out the October Project album that I listed. It’s amazing in my opinion. Beautiful voices and all different types of instrumentation. Do you have Qobuz? I know it's on there.

@helomech thanks for the comments. They did what they could with somewhat limited funds. It still amounted to a ton of money.  There are a couple of other videos on YouTube. https://youtu.be/yKS5j-GYs1M?si=pissmXpDGffo6oHU Garrett and the drumme...

@fatdaddy2 I didn't end up with any gear that I could use for audio. He has a nice pair of Barefoot amplified speakers, but he hung on to those. I do have a new pair of Gibson amplified monitors sitting in boxes.  Gibson made a limited number of ...

@knotscott Yeah, I miss going to gigs. We didn't miss many. He played in Tennessee and a few other distant places that were a bit far.  He had another band before SOS. They were really good, but the lead singer was difficult.... They played a few...

@bolong That's what has happened here.  I got my son a job doing what I do and there's no free time. Plus, he has two kids now.  I suspect that he'll try to do something when the kids are out of the house.  He played in another band that did cove...

@cleeds I guess I should have checked there since I use Qobuz. 🙂  
Anyone knows reputable places in Europe and Canada to buy NOS tubes from?
I bought a number of Mullard M8080 from a UK seller on eBay. Couldn't find them anywhere else.

My son doesn't like to listen to his cd.  Doesn't like to talk about it.  He put so much time and effort into it without much success.  I really like their music. The entire cd is on YouTube. Maybe Amazon and Spotify. Sons of Stereo - Truth and O... 
What happened to the Innous discussion
@mojo771 I don't know which would work better with your dac.  I believe USB uses the clock in your dac where coaxial uses the clock in the source.  That could create a difference in sound quality.   I bought a USB cable that retails around $500 w... 
What happened to the Innous discussion
So, you're comparing the two streamers going into different inputs on your dac with different cables.  It could be that your dac does better with a coaxial input.  I have no idea, but you're comparing more than just the two streamers.
