Highly praised hear you just didn’t care for?
Very few regrets in this hobby,  I wanted to try a single driver "wideband" speaker.    Bought a pair of Omega Alnico Monitors.    I fell out of love pretty fast.   Didn't even own them 8 months before trying  to sell them ...that took a few month...

History of used gear you’ve bought
I bought a Fanfare FT1a Tuner a few years ago.   The seller was selling her Dad's estate and he had a few pieces of audio gear.    Her concern was that I was a flipper.    She said how it was one of her Dad's most prized possessions and that he l... 
Bookshelf speaker recommendations
Don't set a hard budget of $1k.   There are some real strong values out there between $1k and $1200

Hi , thanks for the quick reply.    Is there a way to undo the connection and have it bind to quobuz?

I run both Tidal and Qobuz.  Mainly Qobuz.    The Sonic Auricle app only recognized Tidal?   How do I get it to recognize both?    Or just Qobuz if it can only app,y favorites to one  Thanks Steve    
tube suggestions/ brand new to tubes
Best advice I can give is only use exact specification tubes.    Don’t go on someone’s suggestion,  if in doubt find a resource like a late model  Hickok tube tester owners manual,    There are charts with exact substitutions , like 12ax7 and ecc... 
Whest, Sutherland, Heed, PS Audio or others
I have a KC Vibe.    After buying  LOMC it was clear it didn't have quite enough gain.  It sounded pretty good .  Added a SUT , really sounded good.   I wasn't quite ready for a 20/20 , it's a big jump pricewise .  I saw a great deal on the Zesto...

I really like this project.      I call it a project because by default it is constantly evolving.   I have been streaming for 6 or 7 years.  Allesandro is correct in the predictable results most search engines pick.   I subscribed today,  hope t... 
Help Me Narrow My Choices
Check out Zesto.    I am using their Andros Spirit MM  with a SUT.    It is also available with a 1:10 ratio internal  MC transformer.   I picked up a like new unit for $1200.   Originally $3k.      MC / MM id $4k I was using the excellent Suther... 
From Merlin TSM bme to Studio Electric M4
I have about 10" between the speaker and back wall.  The M4 are so good, they won’t be leaving here anytime soon.    The quality and quantity of bass from a small speaker is amazing.  Pair with an 8" to 12" sub depending on room size and you have... 
McIntosh Double Box?
Good idea.  It does make it easier to sell down the road.   
Is AI taking over audio gear research?
Who's the dealer?   I'll most definitely avoid him !!!    A Hegel amp and Wharfdale Lintons would not be my first choice in a $6k system......  not that are bad but it's either those or KEF LS50 that always seem to pop up.   All good stuff , just...
