Dumb question wrt Lingo 4
There's a thread on Facebook covering this precise topic, and there it indicates that Peter Swain (Cymbiosis) indicated it's perfectly fine to leave the power supply switched on all the time. Definitely good enough for me-   
Dumb question wrt Lingo 4
What's interesting is that with the Lingo 4, the power supply box really is configured to be tucked away - it's not obviously a design conducive to placing on an equipment rack. That being the case, leaving it on may be the way to go-

Just getting into Streaming, need help and advice
The node is a great way to start and as noted, it supports Amazon HD. One of the Node’s strengths is that it supports a wide range of providers- and never sounds worse than very good. BluOS is definitely easy to navigate but I like Audirvana’s imp... 
Is the Bricasti M3 a dark sounding dac
I too have an M1 and in no way do I consider it dark or leaning towards dark. The only way I would call it dark is in comparison with some gear that are, to my ears, way too bright. My M1 was updated to the MDX board in 2020 (and I've not heard t...

new Allison Krause & Robert Plant Pressing seems noisy
I listened to this LP at a friend's house last week. I was not impressed with the quality of the pressing.     
Turntables thump when turning off?
Well known issue with VPI and Rega tables. A cap across the power switch of the right value is the answer. I had that issue years ago when I owned a Rega.   
Anyone tried Benchmark cables?
Currently using a benchmark split cable with an RCA on one end and BNC on the other end, No complaints    
$39K for the Linn Klimax DAC/streamer?
I also thought the Naim ND555 sounded better, to me, than did the top Linn. Each  are superb, and have different strengths.     
$39K for the Linn Klimax DAC/streamer?
I have heard the $39,000 Linn Streamer/DAC, and it is unquestionably excellent, and it is not something I will ever likely buy. Manufacturers sometimes have such products in their portfolio as halo products, which could also lead to trickle down t...
