Upgrading my blusound streamer
Take a look at the Innous Zen mk3. They have several models at various price points. I’m sure you can find one that meets your needs.  
Cat jumped on turntable
+1  Prudent to keep animals, children, and cleaning persons out of the listening room. While I wasn't looking, my three year old granddaughter grabbed my tone arm and dragged it across a record.  I never did find the stylus :-).  My cleaning cre...

Types of speakers to create nightclub style sound?
+1  Club systems are large, typically horn-loaded, and feature efficient drivers. Two Bose 802’s with stands, a decent subwoofer, a 500 watt Peavy power amp, and your choice of DJ mixer. Bose 802’s will light a room, and from personal experienc...

Clearly, none of you all have ever heard Tinnoy speakers. 
Qobuz Special Offer
I’ve been using Tidal for quite a while enjoying the military discount.  I tried Qobuz but didn’t want to pay the original fee because I found Tidal had a better selection of old school R&B and the music I like.  At this lower price, I’m going... 
General question about tube preamps and gain
I'm new to tubes.  I recently purchased a used Herron VTSP 3a ro2 pre amp, which has a High and Low gain option.  It's paired with a NAD M22 v2 power amp, which has High, Mid, and Low settings.  I futzed with the settings for several days and fina... 
Amps with meters ...
I have Mac MC2600 and Pioneer SPEC-4 power amps.  I like their  meters and rotary left/right gain controls.  I use them with pre amp volume controls to get much finer output control.

My 1st Tube Equipment Experience
@noromance  That's good food for thought.  I have to increase the volume, but the vinyl sounds awesome. 
My 1st Tube Equipment Experience
A quick follow-up after a half-day of listening to music with the Tubadour DAC in my system.  I get the best SQ with the Herron pre-amp gain set to Hi and the NAD pwr amp gain set to Lo.  (With the Liberty, the Herron was set to Lo and the NAD to ... 
My 1st Tube Equipment Experience
@jmolsberg  Thank you for mentioning the Tubadour DAC.  Next up, a better phone preamp than my Parasound JC3 Jr.  I think I see a Herron  VTPH-2A in my Christmas stocking. 
My 1st Tube Equipment Experience
My Tubadour Signature arrived today.  The DAC came expertly packed.  The build quality is excellent and it looks good.  And, it was a pleasure doing business with Vlad.Out of the box, the Tubadour sounds much better than my Liberty DAC. It should ...
