Converting balanced output from a DaySequerra tuner to unbalanced input for my preamp?
I’m going to get a cable made so as to ignore the cheap op amps in that box.

Pure Class A amps above 100 Watts?
Gryphon Colosseum Stereo amp, 160w Class A. Smooth, powerful, and fast. 175lbs.Your less than $10k requirement and greater than 100w Class A requirement are in conflict with each other. 
Looking for a reasonably priced 20A power cord
Good point, auxinput.My latest effort is to buy a custom cable from Cullen, this one:http://www.cullencable.com/crossover-series-ii/which is 10awg and have Patrick Cullen install gold plated connectors on it for me. I’ve asked, I’ll see if he’ll d... 
Looking for a reasonably priced 20A power cord
Well, I had decided to fork over the money for a 1m, Nordost Heimdall 2 with a 20A connector, and put the order in a couple of days ago, only to be told today by the dealer that Nordost won’t make that cable for me. Gee, thanks Nordost, my money i... 
Looking for a reasonably priced 20A power cord
Thanks for the information, Erik. I’m looking for an off the shelf solution.I live in a small apartment, the rack is not going to move, it will stay 20 inches from the wall which had two dedicated 20A circuits, and the Niagara 5000 will be put sta... 
How do I stream the NAXOS Music Library?
Yes, I bought a DAC. I got a good deal on an Aqua Formula R2R DAC with USB input. I think it sounds great. The Aqua is recognized by Macs as a Core Audio device so it was plug and play.As I explained above, I use a wireless keyboard, trackpad, and... 
How do I stream the NAXOS Music Library?
  I don't know of any way to have Roon stream Naxos, and, as far as I can tell, Naxos does not stream like a radio station. You have to use a web player from the Naxos website to stream a CD that you have selected from a list.   I discovered Luna,... 
How much do I need to spend to get a preamp that sounds better than no preamp?
I'll put a vote in for the Second Edition Ambrosia preamp from SST: https://www.sst.audio/new-products/ambrosia-2000-second-editionThis is a new and improved version of James Bongiorno's first edition Ambrosia. James always believed in giving the ... 
How do I stream the NAXOS Music Library?
So, my thought is to buy a Mac mini and use the Duet app that mirrors a display to an iPad as an external display in order to be able to control the Flash streamer from NAXOS.Information on the Duet program is here: https://www.duetdisplay.com/ 
the Q-Up
Thanks for that mention of the templates at the Needle Doctor. I'll print them out and try to figure out if it will work on my turntable. Has anybody mounted this on a Michell Gyro SE, with the Technoarm, like this one: http://www.michell-engineer... 
Getting a Dynavector Te Kaitora Rua rebuilt
Thanks for the reply. Is SoundSmith a good option? I have been reading about them and it does seem like a good way to go for a reasonable price. I'm afraid of what Dynavector will charge me. Larry

I am looking for a Sumo Gold
Hello Pete, You have a Sumo Gold? I have a Sumo Gold, but, no, I'm not selling it. ;-) Just curious, did you get yours rebuilt? I had mine rebuilt by Rick Cullen at Cullen Circuits and, so far, it has been performing wonderfully. Wow, bi-amped Su... 
Help -Gallo Nucleus Speakers-binding post problem
I managed to unscrew the binding post from the sphere and I discovered that the wire was sitting right there near the hole. I was able to use a pair of tweezers to pull the wire outside of the hole a little bit and reattach it to the binding post....
