| Lumin T2 burn in time? HI @thingswelike, I’m cutting and pasting from my earlier post in this thread on the ’shuffle’ feature. Thanks! For testing, just play a list of songs and turn on shuffle mode, and see if you can hear a song repeated before the current playlist i... | |
| Lumin T2 burn in time? Hey @tah800, I actually think the lumin app is pretty good once you get used to it. I especially like the pop up menu from any song on the playlist or the browse window to search for a song, album, or artist. Sometimes you hear a song you like ... | |

| Question about Cary Audio SLP-05 Preamp Hi @imhififan, thanks for sending the diagram and your generous offer. I'm pretty much hopeless when it comes to electrical work. I once tried to solder a detached cartridge connector on my turntable, and it was a disaster. I ended up taking ... | |

| Cardas XLR to RCA adapter comparison? Hi @nasaman, I was doing some search on the forum and came across your thread. I know this is a pretty old thread, but I’m curious if you did get a chance to try the Cardas XLR to RCA adapters? and if so, how do they compare to the $7 generic ones... | |
| Go get out your pitchforks, I’ve done a sacrilegious thing. . . Thanks @last_lemming for clarifying. Very helpful! | |
| Go get out your pitchforks, I’ve done a sacrilegious thing. . . hi @last_lemming, thanks for posting this. I'm intrigued. Acoustic treatment in my listening area is simply not an option. So equalizer could be a possible solution, even though I'm really resistant to add another component in the pipeline. ... | |
| Is there a strategy in preamp tube placement? Thanks @lowrider57 for the information on the fee. I'm still fairly new in tube rolling, and learning a lot from this thread. Thanks! | |
| Is there a strategy in preamp tube placement? Thanks @lowrider57, I actually did purchase the Ken Rad from Brent Jessee. Great guy to deal with. My first set of RCA was purchased from him also. I was going to hear from him if he's able to replace those KR that I sent back with something ... |
