Will do audiostick . It did have well over 100 hours on it . I have been emailing Weng on and off for the past couple of weeks disguising the Dac , its sound , and my time spent with it. Here and at my friends house . Got an email from him this mo...

Hi Guys ,  Just got through listening to the Harmony Dac here at my house yesterday for about 2 and 1/2 hours . My friend brought it over so I could here it before mine came in about 2 weeks or so (I hope).   My gear - Pass Labs XA-25 amp , Pass...

Although I have tried my Directstream Dac directly to my amp (variable volume control ) . I must agree with Koestner . A great preamp is worth its weight in gold !! Just my 2 cents worth .

Hi  audiostick I will post that info as soon as I can get it down here to listen to . My friend lives about an hour away and he is a busy guy .So I have not heard anything yet from him. He did tell me  , initially , that LAiV said that because of...

Hi,   I was called to an audio friends house about  two weeks ago to here this Harmony Dac . He had ordered it based on reviews he had read and had taken the time   ( about 100 hours ) to break it in before he had me over . I was interested becau...

What is the Silliest Accessory You Have Ever Seen.
How about painting the outside of your CDs green ??Some here may know about that  ( many years ago ) some may not .I tried it---A waste of time . I want to say , without being critical , I have tried and do believe in some tweak ideas .Generally ,...

cleeds-- I have no doubt you had problems with your Aurender .Every manufacturer has a lemon once in a while. I have owned my N100H-4-4TB for about a year or so with no problems at all . I moved from a small desktop with an external hard drive and... 
6h23P-EB vs 6922 in the input stage of the Wolcott or other tube amplifiers
hi , I will make this short and to the point . I have lots of experience with these Russian tubes . Stay away from the 6n23p-ev and the 6h23n-eb. don't bother with any of the russian 6922 Electro Harmonix either .The tube you want is the 6n23p or ... 
Tweaks that work? (yes very subjective topic)
One word-----Shungite------- Do a search on this forum using just that word .I am not much for tweaks . I believe in a couple ( better fuses , isolation ) but what Shungite can do is really almost unbelievable to me .  
Looking For Candidates For That Mythical 6922 Tube
If you have never tried the Russian 6h23n /6n23p Rocket logo Voshkod  then you are really missing an opportunity. They are cheap and sound wonderful ! I have pretty much gone through them all --Bugle Boys 6dj8s on up the line through most all 6922... 
Looking For Candidates For That Mythical 6922 Tube
Long story short-- I feel that I have pretty much run the gauntlet on the 6922 tube variants over the years. I even had my eye on a BHK preamp wondering exactly what improvements I could render by adding a pair of my all time favorite tube . I did...
