| Tannoy Turnberry vs Fyne 502SP? Like Jim Smith, my main stereo speakers are Fyne F703s. Best sound I've had in my home. I've owned a number of more expensive speakers in the past. Weiss DAC, Zesto electronics, SME table. | |

| Experience with Puritan Audio 136 Purifier Most audiophiles will not be able to tell the difference. Recently, the US distributor increased the price of the 136 from $1600 to $1800 but the 156 remains the same at $2300. With that in mind, an extra $500 (of course, less if discounted) is a... | |
| Experience with Puritan Audio 136 Purifier My experience as well with both the 136 and 156. | |
| LHY OR SBooster LPS I've purchased several. Never a problem. But then, I have the capability to test, modify and repair if necessary. | |
| Tubes for a pre stage... matched NEW or unmatched identical NOS? It depends on the circuit design. In most cases, no, you don't need matched pairs or matched triodes within the each tube. Honest tube dealers like Jim McShane will say the same thing. | |
| LHY OR SBooster LPS Even thought you can specify what DC voltage you want when ordering, there is trim pot inside that you can set to any voltage you want between 5Vdc and 24Vdc. 50W DC Regulated Power Supply | |

| Duelund speaker cable Try tri-wiring your SCM40 speakers with DCA16GA for further improvement. Or DCA12GA on the woofers and DCA16A on the midrange and tweeters. | |

| Gustard R26 Most folks with a R26 find that it sounds the best with the LAN connection. There is a huge thread over on head-fi: Head-Fi Gustard R26 Thread and an interesting master clock thread: Head-Fi Master Clock Thread | |
| Gustard R26 @soix is correct. It's rarely mentioned in these discussions that I2s specs say no longer than a 10cm (~4 inches) cable. | |
| Gustard R26 A friend of mine is an integrated circuit designer specializing in network products for decades. I asked and was told that the main thing that happens when chaining switches is that you add latency (bad). So the sound probably changes. One of thes... | |
| ifi iPhono 3 "Black Label" Anyone? @reidcc In your case, having owned both, properly broken-in, I would strongly recommend the Zen Phono with iPower X power supply. You have an excellent cartridge which, I suspect, you have no idea how good it can sound. The above mentioned combo w... |
