Matrix Audio SI-1 Network Isolator
As I'm using the SL-1 now I haven't bothered to even figure out if it is the unit or the PS that was at fault.

@kclone  I had one of the iFi units too and it worked fine for about 4 months and then would overheat and shut down.  The unit ran warm out of the box even on footers and the lights off so wasn't surprised when it gave out.   
PS Audio - DEEP discounts on complete systems
Paul has not gone anywhere or announced any intentions to do so.  His son, Darren left to form another company based on "lifestyle" components like the Sprout integrated amp.    
Reynaud Bliss Jubile vs Cantabile Jubile
@debrybmw  I have never heard the Cantabile Jubilee in person so all I have to go on is what I have read from owners and from Bob Neill.  Both of these models harken back to the voicing of the speakers designed by the father rather than the voici... 
Reynaud Bliss Jubile vs Cantabile Jubile
@debrybmw  As long as you can give the Orefeo's some breathing room to the rear and don't crowd the one speaker to close to the wall they should work fine in your room.  As to whether or not they will work with the amplifier you have driving the ...

how to use Aurliac Altair G1 - no lightning DS App anymore
@babyseaotter99  I would suggest that you visit the JPlay thread over at Audiophile Style and ask Marcin the owner of JPlay your questions directly.  Then you would have a definative answer as to what is and isn't possible.

JPlay for IOS works fine with Auralic devices.  I'm using it right now with an Aries G2.2. Also check your Apple Cloud storage as there should be a copy of LDS stored there. If you went to reload it in the past it would have downloaded it from yo... 
JPlay App
@dwette  Why would you "have to" use your iPhone to control JPlay?  I've been using it for three years exclusively with iPads of various generations.  
Help - Cable for High End System - M7s and Block Audio Mono A
I think I might start here for a whole lot less than your stated budget.  As they have a 30 day return policy and good customer service he doesn't have a lot to lose in trying them. https://veritascables.com/products/ultima-speaker-2-5m

@riaa_award_collectors_on_facebook  You can order Laiv gear into the US either directly from Laiv or through Alvin at Vinshine.  
Qualio IQ owners, still happy?
@smrt  There is no "lack of bass" issue with the IQ’s.  In fact if you can’t get them placed out into the room and away from the back walls you could have too much bass. If you’re seriously looking to buy a pair, I have a friend with a gloss blac... 
Suggestions for a tube pre and power amp
@lals  Ken-Rad only made tubes on their own until 1945 when they were acquired by GE.  Their name appeared on tubes only until the early 50's and the majority of their tubes went directly to the military.  They are a rare commodity on the market ...
