Innuos Zen MK3 vs Aurender N100
Thanks everyone. Leaning towards innuos but was wondering if anyone had every started with the mini  plus power supply and the upgraded to the zen and if so was there a big improvement. I don’t plan on using ROON which was one of the benefits I he... 
Innuos Zen MK3 vs Aurender N100
Thanks everyone for sharing your experiences, very helpful. I guess the one question which I should have asked is will I hear a noticeable improvement going from my Mac mini to the innuos. I assume the answer is yes otherwise why bother.   
Tube or Amp Problem? Please help.
Sorry to hear about your troubles artemus_5. Except for the current situation I haven't had any issues w/ the Shuguang Treasures and I like the sound better than the tube store preferred series that i had been using but something to keep in mind. ... 
Innuos Zen MK3 vs Aurender N100
Thanks, it would be great to hear from others with innuos sense experience. I agree with you I have no interest in always wondering if this expensive piece of equipment will work.    
Tube or Amp Problem? Please help.
Given that I can set the bias for each tube individually is it still important that I replace both on the side that this occurs...I still plan on doing this but just more for my own education.  
Tube or Amp Problem? Please help.
Bigkidz thanks for the kind offer. I used to live in Brooklyn. If i still did I would definitely take you up on your offer but I know live in LA which is a bit too far!   gs5556, I was able to find some spare tubes. I put them in and was able to... 
Tube or Amp Problem? Please help.
lowrider57, I am not home now but I will check. If I do I will definitely try it out. Hope I do but unfortunately I don't think so. russ69, thanks for all of your helpful comments.  
Tube or Amp Problem? Please help.
Thanks russ69. I don't have that many hours on the tubes, had them for maybe 2 years but only probably use 5-10 hours of week due to busy schedule. if I keep the 2 shuguang treasures on 1 side will it sound bad if I replace the 2 on the side w/ th... 
Tube or Amp Problem? Please help.
Thanks blackdog. I don't have extra tubes right now would it be safe to switch the tubes on the same side just to test and see if can get the bias to .4? Just don't want to fry another tube. Unfortunately, it seems like these tubes aren't for sale... 
Retubing dilemma
Thanks millercarbon. I will look through your posts. Were you suggesting the JJ EL34-II or plain EL34? Have you tried the GL KT77?Rodman thanks for the great post and clearing that up for me.  
Tube Fire What Next?
Atmosphere and millercarbon, thanks for walking me through this. Now I have a choice do I replace the 1 tubestore preferred series el 34 or try something new. Previously it was recommended to me that I try the Mesa boogie NOS el34 but at around $4... 
Tube Fire What Next?
Thanks everyone. Millercarbon my melody has the same set-up so thanks for pointing that out. Just to be crystal clear when I bias the amp the amp should be plugged in and turned on, correct?Noromance, thanks for that comment. in the future I will ... 
Zu + what DAC =Musical Happiness.
verdantaudio thanks for the information. When I am ready I might have to take you up on that offer! 
Zu + what DAC =Musical Happiness.
Qutest, would be easy but i don't think that's possible yet here in LA. I did mean to add that if 213Cobra loves the MHDT that's a pretty strong endorsement. Given his gear one could infer that its not necessarily good for the money but just strai... 
Zu + what DAC =Musical Happiness.
I will definitely reach out to 213Cobra he has helped me out immensely in the past. Without ever hearing FPGA or R2R  I am wondering if the only way to know for sure is to try both out.
