| Any racks that use coasters/ wheels ? You’ve now got 4 recommendations for Herbie’s Gliders, but I’ve got a feeling they’re just hitting a brick wall. Good luck. | |
| eero mesh WiFi system That’s a great cable! Just run that from either a Wi-Fi extender like the one I listed above or a mesh node and I’d think you’ll be in hog heaven. | |

| Don’t buy used McCormack DNA 1990s amps @mrdecibel Completely agree with you on all points. But, the difference here is there is one specific part that has already shown itself very prone to failure for a very specific design reason and, unlike many other older amps and makes it more t... | |
| Why does pulling out main speakers from wall improve sound? There are more minute sounds in music (like reverb trails) that need some space to develop and if you’ve got the speakers too close to the wall they get squashed and you’ll lose that sense of space/depth that those signals help create unless your ... | |
| Cables from amp to preamp or longer speaker cables… I’d run balanced cables to the preamp. | |

| Don’t buy used McCormack DNA 1990s amps You're correct I pulled that number out of my butt, using nothing but my 35yrs of experience designing and working on electronics in semiconductor manufacturing and research. Yes, you pulled that number outta your butt. But you don’t have 35... | |
| Don’t buy used McCormack DNA 1990s amps However, I’d be willing to bet that 50% or more of them will still be kicking with their original input boards 10 years from now. @kchamber You’d be willing to bet based on what? Faith? Other people’s money? Where does 50% even come from? Outta... | |

| Don’t buy used McCormack DNA 1990s amps @nymarty Sorry to undermine the potential sale of your amp and glad your is still working! And yes, I’ll let you know my thoughts on the amp once I get some hours on her. As promised, here’s the reply from SMcAudio on the input board issue… Th... | |
| Best digital source for USB dac under 2000 used? First, try Qobuz if you can because Spotify is a fatal error from a sound quality perspective. Instead of a Zen Mini with LPSU, just find a used Zen with no need for the LPSU because they’re probably in the same price ballpark. Best of luck. |
