Pass Labs “House Sound” vs. McIntosh “House Sound”
@almarg I do use the DEQX volume control for the sub.  I put in a set of RCA's, but just get AC hum.  I unplugged the unit, let it sit for about 10 minutes, then plugged back in and turned on...same result.  Read through the manual, I didn't see a...

@david_ten Thanks for the input.@jafant I’ll post up after I’ve had for about a month.@almarg Hey Al, I’m going RCA/sub preout from the DEQX into the REL. 
Pass Labs “House Sound” vs. McIntosh “House Sound”
@jbrrp1 thanks for the input.  You are 100% correct, their equipment does deliver and the industry needs more folks like Paul and his employees running these audio companies.  I've attempted to not like their equipment, rather, initially I attempt... 
Mytek Brooklyn
I just purchased an Ayre QB-9.  Not that I wish the above misfortune/headache upon anyone, but I appreciate the thread, as it persuaded me to not purchase the Brooklyn. 
Pass Labs “House Sound” vs. McIntosh “House Sound”
@almarg Thanks Al!  That’s a great thread.  Correct in my signal chain.  I’ll swap out to RCA’s, see if that alters.  I do believe I may be approaching the point where an additional sub will have to be deployed, right now I just have 1.  I’m using... 
Pass Labs “House Sound” vs. McIntosh “House Sound”
All, thank you for the comments.@stereo5 That question cuts deep!  I do like the C2500, 85% of the time.  On most of the music I listen to, it is a pretty full sound, so to speak.  I often wondered if I was missing out on some lower end energy and... 
Pass Labs “House Sound” vs. McIntosh “House Sound”
@lalitk That would probably help!I have a set of the PS Audio BHK300 monoblocks, which are driving a set of Dynaudio Confidence C4 Signatures.  I also have a DEQX Premate for Speaker/Room correction.  All of my power cables are Shunyata Research a... 
A lot of hype about PS Audio, deservedly so ?
They do the assembly in Boulder, the product forms are stamped here in the US as well.  I did ask one of their techs if anything was manufactured in China, he said nothing is.  That may not apply to their older offerings, but the amps/pre/direct s... 
Mytek Brooklyn
Any updates?  I was considering the Brooklyn as my headphone preamp/DAC.  Though I’ve read plenty on them, reading this def makes me think twice about a purchase. 
Preamp tubes ran their life?
All, thank you for the inputs.   
Preamp tubes ran their life?
@noromance , I’ll check them out.  Do you have any input on their musical characteristics? 
Preamp tubes ran their life?
@kennythekey @djohnson54 thank you for the input.  I should have qualified a little more...”Way up”, they probably ran for about 4-6/day for the first year, due to the preamp being inband of the home theater signal.  I’ll swap the L/R channels, bu... 
Preamp tubes ran their life?
I’d also like to get anyone’s input on 12ax7 tube replacements.  My budget would be $200-$250 per tube. 
DEQX Final Config and impressions...
Has anyone used a DEQX unit with the Sanders 10e speaker system? (Replacing it with the supplied dbx unit)I didn't see an answer in the other post, when you posed it.  Possibly contact a DEQX dealer to find out and see if you can get an in home de... 
DEQX Final Config and impressions...
Ahhh, I do believe I recall those reading those sentiments.  I will continue to enjoy and thanks for all your help!
