I lost an m7 set screw. What do I do?
Glad to help. Have a Merry Christmas

Worst case scenario, would be to cut the bolt you have to the proper length and cut a slot in one end that would allow a screwdriver tip to fit. Do you have a Dremel tool? That would make life easier. 
Which DAC: Benchmark, Mytek, Audio Mirror, Holo Audio, Mojo Audio?
I recently upgraded my Rega DAC(pre DAC-R) to the Chord Cutest and am very pleased. I did try the Liberty and Benchmark before I landed on the Chord. You want to try it as well. 
Streamer/DAC combo or stand alone DAC with Node2?
I would imagine it is system dependent as to the results. But I figured Audio Research had some experience for them to include it in their answer. I will try it sometime, but to busy listening for now. 
Streamer/DAC combo or stand alone DAC with Node2?
Alchemyman, I will be curious to see what your thoughts are. I tried 4 different DACs before deciding and the first couple hours had me committed. I am using a Audio Research Ref5se and contacted Audio Research as to what output setting and if the... 
Streamer/DAC combo or stand alone DAC with Node2?
I say keep them separate. I am using the Node2 and just bought a Cutest and am very happy for streaming  Deezer FLAC. I thought one unit less cables, but upgrading down the road will be easier one piece at a time. My thought, anyway. 
How much better is direct BNC vs adapter
Thank you, SteveThat helps me understand it better.  
How much better is direct BNC vs adapter
I see now that there have been a couple posts favoring BNC to BNC and using a RCA to BNC adapter. So to echo facten’s question, why? I would like to learn the reason or logic as why this benefits the signal path more than a RCA to BNC terminated c... 
Delay in DAC receiving signal from CD player
Si had the same issue years ago with a Rega Jupiter and a McIntosh MSD4. I contacted McIntosh and was told the issue is that the DAC has to first analyze the signal and will start conversion. He also told me the matter had been resolved with a sof... 
VPI 16.5 vacuum cleaner
As mentioned, I would first suspect the drain being plugged. If you have the means to blow compressed air up the drain tube, even blowing by mouth(clean the tube first of course). It really shouldn’t take much pressure to dislodge any debris. Once... 
How much better is direct BNC vs adapter
Audioengr, if I understand you correctly, you are stating that BNC to BNC with an RCA to BNC adapter is better than a cable terminated as required? So the 75ohm properties of the signal are corrected by simply adding a second BNC connector? Just t... 
How much better is direct BNC vs adapter
Thank thank you both, for your responses. You have added to my belief that the adapter really isn’t hindering performance. I am curious to try a few different cables, I brought home a Cardas Clear, but the connector won’t go into the Node2. They h... 
Any good right angle power cables?
Depending on budget, I think most companies would accomadate a special order. Years ago I had one made at Cardas, it was on the outlet (male) end but they would surely have a remain IEC as well. 
Has anybody compared the Brooklyn DAC or Brooklyn DAC plus to the Liberty DAC
big-greg, thank you for your reply. I had been wanting to hear the Vega but I think I save myself the trouble. 
Has anybody compared the Brooklyn DAC or Brooklyn DAC plus to the Liberty DAC
Big-Greg, how would you compare the Vega to the Liberty? I am trying different DACs now as well and have tried the Chord Hugo, Liberty and the now have the Benchmark DAC3 HGC on home trial. The Vega was one that I wanted to consider, there still a...
