There is most likely a small prism in the right angle moulding  
Problem with toggle switch on Magnum Dynalab tuner
 Good to hear that worked.  I have a 102 and it's a great tuner.      
You tube hifi influencers. Love them or hate them?
I take any review with a grain of salt.  Some reviews are dead on,  I didn't buy my DAC based on reviews but it was nice to see it get some praise by several reviewers  Hopefully if something is a real turd you'll read about it but as many have s... 
Graham Phantom B44 on a TD124 or a SOTA Sapphire?
Sota....  not that the Rega is bad but it's worthy of a better arm.    SME is probably more "correct" for the 124.  Time proven combo for many. Can't loose either way.

When feeding a DAC Hi-Res files, DSD128, 256, 512, PCM 32/768, etc are NOS DACs prefered?
I like whatever DAC I'm using to playback files at their native resolution.  It's OK if it can upsample, as long as it can be defeated   
My First Stereo. What Was Yours?
My first system was a JVC Receiver , Altec 4 ,  Technics table ....  The JVC was soon replaced with a Sansui AU9900.    That was my first real component at 15.  I bought it used for $200 out of the Boston area WantAdvertiser.  
Minimum Power Needed to Drive Klipsch Cornwall IVs? - Considering Erhard_Audio Ray
Big rooms need power.   My 300b is working in it’s comfort zone driving my Forte in a 13 X 15 X 8 room     It will fall apart if I play it loud.     My 40 w Quicksilver amps are a much better match if I were to listen loud but I don’t.     Unlik...

Seeking Honest Opinions: Your Experience with McIntosh Audio Gear
I recently set up my Dad's new MA 8950.  Awesome Amp,  definitely one I would be proud to own.    
Do You Buy Speakers Without Hearing Them?
I broke my own rule and ordered a pair of Omega Super Alnico Monitors sight unseen.    They ended up being a great speaker that is well suited for the application.    I find myself listening to my second system a lot lately, they are good  
Grado Customer Service (Bad)
Sorry , but that is completely the opposite experience that I had with Grado.    During the height of Covid they went above and beyond for me.    Would definitely buy another pair of Grado phones.   
John Rutan of Audio Connection does it again!
John is great to deal with.  I bought my Quicksilver headphone Amp from him.    
Aurender Model Choices
I own a N200.   Love it.    I'm using it with a Lab12 DAC and it sounds excellent.    Aurender makes good stuff.    
A persistent hummmm...
I had a weird buzz coming through my Forte / Quicksilver combo in my last home.  It was a plug in air freshener.   It was on a different circuit but still cause noise.  Took a long time to figure that out.   I had a Zesto preamp and i can honestl...
