| Hum on Tube Amp - Can't find source A shot in the dark here, have your output tubes been cryogenic treated? I had a set of cryogenic treated KT88’s develop loud hum. | |
| My Amp is good but probably the weak point I recommend you revisit your setup first. Setup accounts for a large percentage of the sound you hear. Small changes in speaker position and any acoustic treatments can result in significant improvement. If your listening room is a shared spac... | |

| Using Qobuz with Bluesound 2i Just sign into your Qobuz account in the “music service “ tab in the Bluesound app screen. Then all activity with Qobuz can be controlled through the Bluesound app. | |
| Integrated amp for Sonus Faber olympica nova 1 How about the Gato Audio integrated amp, Danish design that would blend well with modern European interior design aesthetics. Steve Gutenberg the Audiophilliac has a video review of this amp. | |

| Bell Canto C5i Integrated Amp with B&W Nautilus 803 Speakers. A Question Your amp will be seriously underpowered for the intended application. Nothing wrong with class D amplification, in fact I prefer it with my B&W along with a tube preamp. IME 200 watts would be a minimum figure. A loud listening level for m... | |

Also, sitting closer to the speakers results in less room sound. You might also consider speakers that have a narrower or ... | |
| Dynaudio - Made in China vs Denmark If the price between the made in China speakers and the made in Denmark speakers remained the same, who benefited? Clue, it wasn’t the consumer who benefited from the lower cost of manufacturing. | |
| Qobuz Skipping or Short Pauses In the “settings” tab in BluOS, then check “audio”, see if the the “audio clock trim” is set to “disabled”. This is often necessary when using an external dac. | |
| Nordost cable damage - opinions? I would be inclined to put a small dab of clear silicone on that spot to seal it from further degradation. | |

| Qobuz problems with the BluOS app? Randymaqp thanks. Strange it doesn’t show up in the BluOS screen as a download or update. Anyways, back to normal until the next screw up. |
