Where do you guys buy tubes?
I tried buying from Upscale.....four phone calls, I gave them my number four times...their salesmen were apparently too busy to help me out.... no return call after four attempts is pretty sad so unfortunately I can't recommend them.   
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

I love my MD102......much better than the MD90 it replaced 
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...

I have no experience with Quicksilver preamps but I have a pair of their Mid Mono amps....they are such a huge bang for the buck it's silly.....built like a tank,  super reliable, fantastic sound.   Mike is a great guy to deal with too.  I can't s... 
Oppo 103 freezing.........
Its imperative that you restore the factory default settings after a firmware update on these machines.....I had the same problem, it was resolved after resetting / restoring factory defaults.  The USB drive may not be "fast " enough, some cameras...

I'm using a pair of Revel M106 and the M51 is the hub of my system..... the sound is big, and dynamic.  The sound extends well beyond the speakers and sounds incredibly lifelike....Im not great at reviews but the m51 is definitely the best soundin...

HiI have a M51 with an OPPO 103d and it is a killer combo.... Im sure the ModWright is a nice machine but the M51 is a lot of DAC for the money.   I would be more inclined to spend money elsewhere than on upgrading a BluRay or CD player,  anything... 
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.
