Lo-Fi, Mid-Fi or Hi-Fi- What's your system and why?
Mid Fi..... sounds killer to me though.  It's the synergy of carefully chosen, quality gear that makes it really kick ass....  What's great is that I'm an on the road tech so I spend the day in my van listening to a pretty crappy stereo if you wan...

Question about valves running hours
If the amp is biased correctly it can play long periods of time without issue.  I listen to my amps for hours , I do turn them off when I go out though, but cycling the power for short periods actually shortens tube life

Need Balanced DAC with optical and coaxial inputs for 2 channel home theater system
I love my M51....it's a killer DAC.   I am using it in a Sub/Sat speaker system and it great with movie soundtracks.    TV, Netflix, BluRay all sound awesome through this DAC .   What was really suprising is how well Pandora sounds through it,  mu...

My 50W, 8ohm amp can't drive my 86db, 4ohm speakers? WTF??
Good to hear you'll be up and running soon......my system was in storage for  months after we had a pipe break upstairs and damage two rooms, one of which my system was in.....listening to a mini system was rough for that amount of time. 
My 50W, 8ohm amp can't drive my 86db, 4ohm speakers? WTF??
