Circle Labs A200 Integrated amplifier review - It will appeal to both tube and SS lovers……
The old dealer loves the product line and no longer carries it for reasons other than the product quality and sound. I will let him comment on it if he would like, but let’s just say he was not treated right.  I still have my A200 and love it.

@islandmandan  Thank you for your post Dan. . I was blessed by your attitude and honesty! Your wife is lucky to have you as her husband. I hope and pray you have both the years and strength to care for your wife as you desire.

May I ask how one goes about buying this 812 tube amp? Nothing on the BH site.  Thanks.   
V-Cap CuTF .22 on Gain Tubes-- Primaluna Dialogue HP Integrated
Vcap Odam is not darker toned compared to the top Duelund caps. I would say they are a tad more alive if anything. Top Duelund copper foil and tinned copper CAST caps have more body and richer tone, while Odams deliver better bass drive and top en... 
Need advice on what to purchase to hold 1TB of music and connect to my new Innuos Pulsar.
@thyname  Funny, I owned the Phoenix reclocker and sold it after realizing it did not improve my systems sound quality with my then new MOJO Audio dac.

@chilehed My thoughts and experience match yours 100%. I stream most of the time as I find it sounds as good or often times better than ripped CDs. The Pulsar will sound better than the Pulse and Zenith 3. I good friend compared his Zenith 3 to ...

Understand.  Hope you are correct! Thank you @phishhhhh4

@chilehed  Well, I sold it.

@phishhhhh4  That is the big question here. My experience with those cheap switch mode wall warts is they inject noise into your digital front end without fail.  Will this also play out on a NAS? I’m not sure why it wouldn’t!

The Pulsar is like a Zenith 3 plus Phoenix in sound quality or so I read. Not sure this is really true. I loved my Zenith 3 and will miss its ease if use with internal storage. The Zenith 3 also rips CDs and auto loads them. The Pulsar costs some ...

@thyname Tbe Samsung SSD drive cost me $69 and if direct connectivity was allowed that would be my cost. Nice. A NAS will cost me at least $300-$400 and many cost upwards of $600-$700. In addition, I will need to buy an LPS to power it if I wan...

@asvjerry I don’t see me ripping anymore CDs or buying music files in the future. Since I have 1100 CDs ripped only using some 60% of 1TB, it seems reasonable to buy a 1TB. I will look at 2Tb since it is only a little more money 🙂.   @thyname ...

I have a lifetime Roon membership, but only use Sense because it sounds so much better. Therefore, I have no need to use my Pulsar as a Roon endpoint only. Really am disappointed I have to buy a NAS with the added complexity of processing built in...

@phishhhhh4    Can you provide me with a link to NAS you purchased? Seems I have to return my Samsung SSD and USB cable.

Seems I have to use a NAS? If so, it must connect in some manner. Perhaps an Ethernet jack? Innuos should have built this thing to allow for simple direct SSD or thumb drive.  Big miss in my opinion.
