@elizabeth , yes Audiogon is a great place and the mods have their hands full. But have you ever been on the forum on the overnight...after 2am EST? There is so much spam I've given up on reading the forum. I'm a night owl and this is my time for ...

+2 @dweller . Or a variation on your idea, all 1st time posters must have their post reviewed by moderator.

I don’t think they support it, they don’t know how to stop it. It’s been happening for too long. Perhaps hiring an IT consultant would help rather than trying to solve the problem inhouse. 
Overwhelmed and under experienced...
If Audience is too laid-back, then look at Wywires; lively and realistic. I'll mention VH Audio again...many PCs offered, both off the shelf and custom built. I purchased a 10awg Furutech for about $400.https://www.vhaudio.com 
High resolution digital is dead. The best DAC's killed it.
Erik, I can't believe how good Redbook and 16/44.1 streaming sounds. It took so many years for DAC technology to finally reveal how good those silver discs can sound. Just in time to see CDs being phased out as a dead format.And it doesn't take ma...

Seems like you've put some thought into your system, you should replace the cheap stock PC.First, what is your budget? You've mentioned cables ranging from $300 to $625. When shopping for a cable, find dealers that offer a trial period and return ... 
Proper DAC Upgrade for my modest system.
Nice speakers. The Wadia is a solid upgrade over the zDac.

As far as a speaker upgrade, IMO Audio Psychic is a very special speaker. Is there something you dont like about your current speakers? How do they match up with the Vincent?

Wiremold is a well-built power strip that is transparent, meaning it doesn’t colour the sound and no filters are used. This is not a power conditioner, but is much higher quality than using a multi-plug for your components. I use a Wiremold with s... 
AC Power Question
@mental , Before I had work done, i inquired on a thread and @jea48 participated with excellent instructions on the optimal setup of mains power to an audio system. @almarg joined the conversation and as always I valued his input. After the instal... 
AC Power Question
@jea48 and @almarg are the experts on this subject. Hopefully one of them will join in.They advised me when installing my dedicated lines. I'm running my analogue and digital on separate dedicated 20 amp circuits into separate Hubble duplex recept...

Bloated bass could be caused by speakers positioned too close the the wall or by the amp not having enough power to drive the speakers. But, your amp shouldn’t have this problem. It could also be caused by the choice of tubes. And lack of dynamic...

It's good that you only hear noise when up close to the speakers. The fact that the noise is constant even with volume down either means your amp is the problem, or more likely it's due to noise on your power line. This is the noise floor of your ...
