How many of you are digital only systems?
For reference I am running an Innuos Zenith mkIII feeding a Chord Qutest.   You may want to try a different DAC.  I haven't heard the Qutest, but from what I read here the Chords are on the lean, detailed end of the spectrum.  
What are you streaming tonight?

It looks like it's a download site and the address given is in New Zealand.  They give a mobile phone # and an email form in the Help section. 
A Record Collection/Moral Conundrum - What Would You Do?

best for 6sl7 and 6sn7 tube nos?

imaging, though, is another matter, as nice as it is when well portrayed on our rigs -- but what is real or not is highly debatable (and suspect), in fact it is pretty much entirely ’manufactured’ That’s true, but we are not listening to a live ev...

I remember radio stations doing battle of the bands between the Beatles and the DC 5.  Can't remember who won though.

Power cables , Test your cables guys
Your links aren't working for me, so I don't know what the difference you're talking about is.  If you bought the cable from Audioquest or one of their dealers and the incorrect length is causing you a problem,  I think they should replace it with... 
Anyone try using a 5751 in place of a 12AT7?
The 5751 is considered a substitute for the 12AX7 not the 12AT7.Here is what tube dealer Brent Jessee says about it: 5751: This version was usually the one made for the US military. These have a lower gain than the 12AX7, but are otherwise totally...
