Thanks again!!   
B.S. Node 2i brick (yet another one)
@2psyop OMG OMG OMG You sir, saved the day!! I changed the power board and it fired right up, so it looks like my failure was a little bit different than most - not cap related, but something else on the power board fried, maybe a transistor. Perh...

@2psyop You are amazing! I cant wait to see if its my power supply or the main board that is at fault. Thank you SO MUCH!! @mofimadness FWIW, I cant do the factory reset because I never get the red light at the top - its that dead! @larry5729 I ... 
Looking for 2.1 Digital preamp recommendation
Ok, so the new apple tv doesn’t have optical output so I need to use my Samsung tv to strip the audio layer out for a preamp. This is not a critical listening setup, so you are right, I could actually jsut stream to the apple tv directly, but the ... 
Looking for 2.1 Digital preamp recommendation
Oh, I did more looking.. Did you mean the Zpre3?  That is nice too, but doesn't have an optical input for the TV or BT input for streaming.

@mahler123 NewClassic 200 Pre  - Looks perfect!  Unfortunately, its $1000. :(

@2psyop Oh wow, I'm really grateful for that! I've sent you a PM. I'm very interested to see if its just the power supply that's to blame, or if the unit itself (in my case) is defunct. You are awesome! BTW, did you guys know NAD made the power s...

@2psyop I cant do the reset because I never see a red light. I did replace the caps (I'm an expert solderer and very comfortable with this sort of repair). Warranty is only one year, I'm on year 3. Do you want to sell your original power board? It...

New speaker day - Tekton Enzo 2.7 review
Still enjoying the Enzos? Ever hear the Electron SE’s? I’m trying to decide between these or the DI’s... so hard to choose. 
Tekton Electron SE
Give us more details on how they sound MusicBox! I'm still on the fence... DI or electron SE. I'd love to hear opinions from folks who have heard both. Also, $3K is at the top of my budget. How much better are these speakers than say, a standard e... 
Tekton Electron SE
I agree David. Coming in cold, its hard to choose. Its confusing to understand why there are so many speakers in the lineup with close msrps. It looks to me like the right speaker would be the electron SE or the DI, but I am confused on the differ... 
What are the top 3 dream speakers you wanna buy next regardless of price?
Any big MBL with their electronics (stretch goal)Dynaudio C4 or evidence (likely in next 20 years)Magnepan 3.7 (likely in next 5 years) 
MBL 101 (~1990) - amp suggestions.
A friend owned the 101's for a while, and the smaller model with the brass pyramid up top ( as rear channels), I forget the model. These speakers need POWER. Dont attempt to run them on an integrated or small amp. I personally tried running the li... 
Best mid-range for $3K
Dynaudio is a sure bet. Something in the upper focus line or any in the contour line should make you happy.
