| If you’ve heard an iFi Zen stream, anything better under $1k? @blkwrxwgn I'm guessing you got an early one. Probably took a factory software revision or two to stabilize things. That makes sense since all my units arrived last month and each unit came right up perfectly. Hoping you find the same if you try ... | |
| To Buy or to DIY, here is my question @gdaddy1 Thanks so much for taking the time to share your great tips. | |
| If you’ve heard an iFi Zen stream, anything better under $1k? I have several Zen Streams around the house and they worked perfectly out of the box. I have not experienced anything "buggy". | |
| What phono preamp are you using? I'm using a SoundSmith Zephyr MK III with a Coda 06x phono stage. Outstanding. | |
| Did electrician set up my dedicated subpanel correctly? The EP-2050ee is a parallel whole house surge protector, waveform corrector and power conditioner. Because it's parallel, it won't limit current. The EP-2750 ground filter provides additional filtration of the safety ground for the dedicated audi... | |
| Kondo Overture PM2i - buzzing noise from transformer I think he meant the bells (covers) of the transformer that is mechanically buzzing; try tightening the four bolts. Also make sure the transformer is tightly secured to the chassis. Typically, mechanical buzzing of transformers is due to DC on you... | |

| Who Offers a Highly Musical Preamp using a 6SN7 tube and a remote? Black Ice Audio F360. | |
| Recommend new EL84 tubes +1 Brent Jesse. Great for NOS tubes. | |
| Tube integrated amps -- new Value Leaders? @jerryg123 Classy response. I am simply the person that corrected your disinformation. | |
| Tube integrated amps -- new Value Leaders? @jerryg123 Black Ice Audio is not owned by Underwood HiFi; Underwood is one of their many dealers. Please stop posting disinformation. | |
| Puritan Audio Labs GroundMaster CITY & RouteMaster grounding system Considering the huge price difference, I'm not sure anyone would want to. This is not rocket science. The concepts are pretty basic. Synergistic, Nordost, Entec, etc are just exploiting the electrically naive. | |
| Replaced all my Living Room Outlets Pass and Seymour 5242 are very good, inexpensive outlets for those on a budget. These are the same outlets that Acme Audio silver plates and cyros for around $48 each. | |
| Recommend new EL84 tubes Jim McShane says basically the same thing but it doesn't apply to most consumer audio components including Manley. Jim references the Vox AC-30 and AC-30 clones; guitar amps that run the output tubes beyond dissipation specs. I know this to be tru... |
