Tube Rolling | Luxman CL-38uc
I would stick with 12AU7.   It was voiced with those and they are easier to find  NOS .  And usually cheaper than same vintage nos 12ax7.... RCA 12au7 from the late 50's / early 60's is what I used in my last preamp and they sounded great and mea... 
Problem: DAC or streamer San Francisco east bay help
My Dad is experiencing a similar problem with his streamer after Auto update. No longer recognizes his DAC. Works with other DACs but no longer sees the Mc amp. I think it may be the streamer. It’s the source that must recognize the DAC. I can ta... 
Digital Path to Complete my System
I love my Aurender N200.   It replaced a Vault 2i which I still use in my second system.   Your budget demands listening to DACs first hand.    This is a product segment where you are splitting hairs as the price increases.    You really need to ... 
Discrete R2r With Tube Output
I have the Lab 12 DAC 1 Ref.   It really sounds good.  Something that should be auditioned or have an easy return policy.   I listened to a few DACs below , at , and above its price.   Loved its sound and can live without DSD and fixed output. Whi...

How to hook up the Anton Naim headphone amp to Mac 8950
I deleted my last post as I was unsure of the label.  RCA are identified as UNBAL on the front panel when you select input.   So if the front panel says UNBAL 1 you will connect to the RCA input labeled "1" on the rear panel.    
How to hook up the Anton Naim headphone amp to Mac 8950
Hi My Dad has a 8950,  nice amp.    So you are trying to send the Naim as the source to the Mac via RCA?  
Best streamer to replace my Mac Mini?
Innuos makes one in that range too.   The most important thing about any of these devices is support and user interface.    The best hardware in the world is crap without good software.   Visit those mfg forums and search for issues when you fina... 
Eversolo A6/A8
When my Dad received his Eversolo I thought it was a decent package but after dealing with them on the customer service side I wish I could retract recommending them.  I apologize to anyone who bought one on my recommendation and is having problem...

They are charging Innous and Lumin pricing on the new model.  Spend a little more and buy from a big player in streaming  I had high hopes for the machine.   I though it would change my mind about Chinese HiFi but it just proves how little a comp...

Eversolo just did an update that rendered my Dad's A6 inoperable via USB.  Same software/firmware as A8.    Affects McIntosh Integrated Amps with DAC cards.   His 8950 was working fine , it updated and immediately after did not recognize DAC.  I...
