Solid State preamp Brands
The Coda 07X was the main system preamp here for a number of years. On a whim, I purchased an Audible Illusions L2B. The Coda did not compete with the AI sound wise and has since departed. The Coda has great features via the remote control compare...

@rlsammie   Congrats on the purchase. Please share feedback on the setup experience.   
Speakers low pitch humming, is it normal, or real issue with preamp?
Resolved.    Congratulations!  
Phono Preamp Selection
“I reviewed (Pro-ject Phono Box DC MM/MC  / Cambridge Audio Duo / IFI Zen / Schitt Skoll ).” By reviewed are we to understand that a review was read or were these units auditioned?  
Wanna take it to the next level? Buy MORE speakers!
Yea. “Questionable” conversations get the boot. Yet the artwork in the posted photo remains…..

Sergio won?  
VPI Industries---Love the Company as Much as their Turntables
Agreed. VPI is a standout company amongst also Rans.  Currently, my main table is the HW-40. It is just great.    The second system uses an HW-19 with the SDS, Superplatter and an SME V arm.    Love them both.   
Why did this just happen ?
Perhaps a faster processor speed and or less jitter? My $.02.   
Keep light equipment from tipping up from cable weight?
A chunk of whatever is lying about wrapped in electrical tape. The tape prevents unwanted scuffing of the equipment. There are a variety of colors of electrical tape available for those with O.C.D.

Those 36 volt cables are thrown out to make way for the 72 volt cables.   
Experience purchasing a used high-end cartridge
Having quite a few used cartridge purchases under my belt, I will chime in. I’ve only had one issue buying a used cartridge. It was an Ortofon Bronze that had a bad channel. Can’t remember if it was left or right. One side ohmed out properly. The ... 
Preamp or DAC
Regarding the Coda 07X, I recently replaced mine with an Audible Illusions L3A. Purchased it on a whim never planning on it overtaking the Coda. Alas, it did. The Coda has way more remote control features plus gain matching the inputs is super gre... 
Preamp or DAC
@audphile1 is correct about the impedance matching. However the input impedance, single ended, into the Coda 16 is 50K OHMS. Balanced input, the impedance is 10K OHMS. If a single ended preamp is chosen, the 50K input should be just dandy for th... 
Need Advice Asap - Terrible experience with a seller on Reverb (Iso Acoustics Gaia ii)
Contact Reverb immediately.    Follow their instructions to the letter.    In my experience they are solid on buyer protection. If they fail, PayPal is the next line of defense. If they fail, your credit card company will have your back.    Us... 
Would like to try a tube preamp after years of solid state and hybrid
If pursuing an Audible Illusions product, the L series has a remote for volume and mute. The M series has no remote control.    Currently I’m using the L3A in my main system. Love it.    Had the M3A many moons ago and always missed it once it wa...
