Paypal...buyer protection fees didnt help me
He didn't take too long to file by the book, the delay only brings other possible issues into play.   I'd also continue to pursue a better outcome, a local tech would have been my first choice right from beginning. But then this wouldn't be prio... 
Price Isn't Always Indicitive of Quality or Performance
@charles1dad Never occurred to me silver PC would be a voicing I'd seek, YMMV per usual. For me, keeping silver and copper in good balance has been key, spot on for the last few years.   One adjustment made with pc's in just the past couple mont... 
Cheapest way to enhance SQ with digital streaming
@tksteingraber Sounds good, your results what I'd expect. Just a reminder, power cables on lps and ac feed, power conditioner will also help. Lps and same upgrades on other FMC will also help, although to lesser degree.   Even the dc cables (fro... 
Paypal...buyer protection fees didnt help me
Well, we're all on your side, all sounds reasonable to us. But paypal and/or person you purchased from not us. Your entire story could just be a story as far as they know. I'd be just like Carlsbad if someone waited 14 days to tell me something I ... 
New Dedicated Line - Almost No improvement
@lloydc My BPT 3.5 Sig., a toroid only hummed when I had over voltage (122-125v), built c core bucking transformer to cure the over voltage, no excessive hum. Since upgrades by electric provider, now provides 119-121v 24/7 no hum from  transformer... 
Musetec (LKS) MH-DA005 DAC
Not sure I've observed a wider variety of subjective reviews than from Dave. Lots of these out in field in wide variety of systems, still don't know what to make of this dac after all these years.   A dis by ASR may be considered a purchasing re... 
The problem with streaming
Good for you, and yes, the sonics will continue to improve as you improve your streaming setup. Sound quality potential with streaming will amaze!

I'd say the time delay hurt your case big time. Warning to others to place new component in system immediately, I always do this, may wait an hour or two for new component to settle.  
Tube PHONO preamp interference - RFI, EMI, bad grounding?
Interference is too rhythmic to be tubes or dimmer. Moving the pre is good idea. I have Trifield Meter for just this kind of event, you'd be surprised how much rfi given off by certain equipment, transformers pretty bad, you may find quiet zone by... 
Beyonce releases first album in six years RENAISSANCE
@adasdad  There is a contagion in this society with necessity to publish any and all dislikes, hatreds to the point it becomes impulse. Symptom of culture of complaint, 24/7, 365 celebration of Festivus.    All this grievance sometimes makes me ... 
MoFi controversy
@theaudioamp Hard to say, amongst my vinyl collection are hot stampers, can imagine many more very early generation masters as vast majority of 3.5K vinyl collection is from the era it was first released in. I'm thinking most of difference I hear ... 
Beyonce releases first album in six years RENAISSANCE
@dayglow I"m not making this claim for everyone, give me a break. This is my own experience, and what I've observed with certain others over my lifetime.   I still have my prejudices/biases that keep me from ability to enjoy other genres/artists... 
Musetec (LKS) MH-DA005 DAC
@melm You are correct on Muon. Based on positive reviews from trusted sources want to try. To this point I've tried an audiophile switch and generic FMC in the exact position Muon will go (between router and server) without success. Prefer my rout... 
MoFi controversy
@theaudioamp The masses may not have been screaming, but I've been telling myself this for many years now, Alex seems to be in same boat.   I'm not saying the old or new vinyl objectively better or worse, it just sounds different, and I'd agree ... 
Cheapest way to enhance SQ with digital streaming
@tksteingraber Well that's good, proves your system resolving enough. Don't know if I mentioned in this thread, but I have tried battery power with dacs and lps for various streaming devices, always went back to ac with my BPT 3.5 Sig. power condi...
