Puritan PSM156
Update:  I’m keeping the unit.  I don’t ordinarily buy into component break in…but this unit has transformed and/or settled in since the initial week of using it.  All of the various low level noises that I heard are now gone.  The unit is also tr... 
Puritan PSM156
@jriggy I have ‘til the 31st to return it.  I’ve plugged the unit into a 20 amp dedicated circuit socket & it sounds better to my ears (albeit subjectively so as with anyone).   I’ll continue to demo it and make a decision from there.  If I do... 
Puritan PSM156
I’ve had the PSM156 for a few days. I had a 20 amp dedicated circuit installed. Between the two…I think I prefer going directly into the wall with the dedicated circuit. The sound without the PSM156 is un-tweaked. I think the performance of the PS... 
Does anyone play two pairs of speakers at the same time?
I randomly stumbled upon trying this in my existing set up.  I have (2) different amps & (2) different pairs of speakers playing (1) signal from a streamer (via Roon).  It sounds perfectly fine to me.  There’s no ‘heard’ phase issues.  It’s si...

Small Footprint SS Power Amps
amorstereo Teenay - your recommendation is spot on regarding the SPL Audio Performer S800. I’m so glad that I purchased it. It’s a remarkable amp that delivers the dynamic swings effortlessly & beautifully. I can’t imagine anything above it…cl... 
Looking for recommendations for a 'warm' sounding DAC
I’m dusting off this old thread just in case someone out there is on the hunt for tube warmth in their system.  I stumbled upon the Line Magnetic LM32 DAC.  It adds just the right amount of tube warmth (to my liking) even with the stock tubes whic...

Get your First Watt SIT-3 now?
Odd turn of events. The SIT-3 was delivered with corner end shipment damage (thanks UPS). I returned it to Fidelis Audio. It was supposedly going to undergo repair and offered for resale (to me) at a discounted price. That never happened...in shor...

I just took the plunge into unconventional territory & purchased a SIT-3. The full chain will be a Nu Audio sound card (PC) into a LTA Micro ZOTL MZ3 tube pre-amp into the SIT-3...which will then power Omega Super 3 High Output monitors (being...
