| Audio Research preamps EXCESSIVE OPERATING COSTS Decooney, yes tubes were used in TVs for years... not because they worked well, but because that's all we had.I remember pulling the heavy TV out from the wall, removing the 10-20 screws and power cord interlock so I could access the insides of ... | |

| How do I pay? Ditto, so many of the earlier posts.This "deal" has DON'T DO IT screaming from it. | |
| Distortion using Node 2i as streamer with Denafrips Pontus Dac Have you tried the using the internal DAC to see it the distortion still appears? If it does, then the streamer section itself is suspect... not compatibility with external DAC(s).Try connecting with the analog/RCA output and see what happens. | |

| Magnepan .7 slight bulging line in lower front Yes, call Magnepan. They have excellent people on hand to help customers.I really don't recommend taking a heat gun to a newly acquired Maggie... try explaining that if it needs warranty work! | |

| Whats on your turntable tonight? Simao, I liked Tea for the Tillerman² quite a bit. Although I liked the pure acoustic guitar that was prevalent in the original album, I appreciated the more complex mixing done on the new version. | |
| Whats on your turntable tonight? Simao, I may be guilty to listening with my emotions, since Tea for the Tillerman (1970) was released when I was a teen in the turbulent late 60's and early 70's. I'll give it a critical listen soon and tell you how the recording quality is. | |
