Can A Network Player/Streamer Be Hooked Up to Old School Receivers
I just picked up a Bluesound Vault 2i and it is awesome.... if you don't need CD ripping/archive then the Node 2i is perfect for streaming .   It sounds pretty good through it's analog outputs.  I have it connected to my DAC via coax and to my pre... 
Compact DAC + Amp

Placement along with room treatments....   I recently moved, my last room was a nightmare.   New room has better dimensions but more importantly a thick carpet.I used my Veleodyne sms 1 to measure the new room's low freq response and it was damn n... 
pre amp tubes
I would strongly suggest not subbing those tubes ....   if the circuit calls for a 12ax7 use one, or an accepted equivalent.   Ecc83, ecc803, cv4004...   a 5751 or 7025 are both lower gain ax7 subs.  I have a pair of early 60's RCA 12ax7 in the in...

Hard to see the object......I skip right by it. 
Has anyone added a small subwoofer to 2 channel and been thrilled with the result?
I have a 10" REL that I've used with several speakers over the years and it has worked well with both stand mount and floorstanders.  I have had the best results with low crossover points, like 60Hz or lower and  running the main speakers full ran... 
Tube info
You should check out Brent Jessee Recording,  great source of NOS and he has some real sleepers that won't break the bank.   I got some really good early 60s RCA 12ax7 and Philips Miniwatt 6922 and they were everything he said they would be .   Hi...
