| Run Roon in an iMac or dedicated Mini dpphd, I originally bought my QB9 when it was in its first form. I believe around early 2011. I compared it to a tube Wavelength DAC at the dealer and the QB9 crushed it. Later Ayre offered a $500.00 upgrade which I opted for and the improvement w... | |
| Run Roon in an iMac or dedicated Mini Don’t know if this helps but I have an M1 Mac Mini as my core. Then an internet connection from my router to a Bryston Pi as a Roon endpoint. From the Bryston I use a USB cable into my Ayre QB 9 Twenty DAC. I use my iPad as a remote. The only prob... | |
| Vinyl Newbie - So Many Questions! doodledan, if your motor is sliding around, try sitting it on some dampening material. That is, if it doesn’t cause a height issue with your belt. Herbies Audio makes some thin but affective dampening sheets which may help. Additionally, I agree ... | |
| Vinyl Newbie - So Many Questions! lewm, it doesn’t make sense why some records play fine while others create unwanted noise. I agree that resistance might lead to unwanted noise but wouldn‘t that be consistent with all pressings? | |

| "Transferred from original analogue master tapes" It’s preferred to use the original source. I have cd’s that were remastered from wax cylinder’s. They sound great, given they were recorded in 1918 without electrical equipment. Sometimes an old 78 rpm shellac record is the best you’re gonna get. ... | |
| Amplifier Output Relays imhififan, I played the amp today while listening through headphones and it played flawlessly. Pretty much what I was hoping for. | |
| Amplifier Output Relays Also, my tech found two bad solder joints and a loose wire and fixed those many months ago when I initially started having problems. When he found the relay was reacting to his tapping on it, he checked those solder joints and they were good. When... | |
| Amplifier Output Relays Yeah, according to the manufacturer, the headphones use a separate relay. His instructions are the same; tap the relay to see if the tone changes, try the headphones and try different inputs. | |
| Amplifier Output Relays I've been In contact with the manufacturer who's been nothing short of amazing since the issue started with the right channel. His comment is that the right channel issue was with the output relay. The issue with the left channel started shortly a... | |

| Amplifier Output Relays imhififan, thank you for sharing your knowledgeable insight tower I'm not sure a different relay would be applicable. AS I said, I will make mention of it but ultimately I need to follow the advise of the manufacturer. I also com to realize that ... |
