Backert Labs Rhumba preamp
My bad, the level I have set on “variable” output is 80 and not 90.  
Backert Labs Rhumba preamp
Bringing this thread to life to find out from current Backert Rhumba users on what is the volume position on the dial that they generally use for listening? My story is that I used to use it 90% of the time between 9 and 9:30 position and it soun... 
Recommend me a DAC under 3k
Would a Okto DAC 8 stereo fit your needs, if you can pick up a Pi 4 Model B on the flee-Bay?  
I stream 24/7. Do you?

Any love for the Gentalex Gold Lion 12ax7 gold pin?

Marantz cd players
Congratulations @thedoc2004 on the new equipment. Now sit back and enjoy your music! This site or US Audiomart would be the best places to sell your audio gear that you don't need.

A Story about a Defective Signature Platinum
The links to my stylus pictures did not work. Anybody know how to cut and paste a Photograph? While I have not done it myself, I know that people upload image to a sharing site like imgur. Then they copy that link into that space when you click... 
What are the best GaN Amplifiers available today?
I have not had a Class D amp that bettered my best Class A or even AB amp yet. I have kept it under $3K for the various Class D amps I have tried. That is interesting. I wonder how the AGD or the Atmasphere amps compare to some Class AB amps th...

Thank You everyone who responded to my speaker load question. At some point I am thinking of upgrading the amp. While I was leaning towards a regular Class AB amp, I am also getting more interested in Class D.  
Why Don’t You Post Your System on Your Profile?
I am surprised that folks have such nice systems and did not post earlier. Feel like 2005 again when I joined and so many folks posted their system. There was a lot to see and learn and also use tips to decorate/rearrange your room. @vonhelmholtz... 
What are the best GaN Amplifiers available today?
