My router is in the same room. I read that a Sonos credit is not sufficient hi res for Tidal. Maybe I misunderstood. Thanks. 
Benefit of cable lifters on 100 wool carpet.
My floor is wood so it seems unanimous that the cable lifters will be unnecessary.As far as room acoustics are concerned, I found them just too difficult to get right. This was one of the reasons that I went to a computer based desktop system with... 
Tube rolling in Yaqin Pacific Valve Tube Buffer
I am begining to think that the answer may be that the Yaqin tube buffer is supplied with a Chinese 6N1 and was probably designed for that tube. While the 6DJ8 may work, it and 6922/7308 tubes have different heater elements etc. In fact, in the re... 
Tube rolling in Yaqin Pacific Valve Tube Buffer
The label was pretty much rubbed all off so the price on eBay was very good. I decided to burn in the tube for 36+ hours on the outside chance it was actually new and it seems to be settling in. I will have to reassess it after that time.

Why spend megabucks on a tuner?
I am typing this as I listen to WQXR, a non-compressed classical radio station, broadcasting from New York City. There are still great FM radio stations out there.I am listening on my Scott 310-e tube tuner. It's 45 years old. However, it cost me ... 
Conrad Johnson MV60
Generally Conrad Johnson pieces are built like tanks. I have gone from the MV-52 > MV-55 > MV-60 and have no reliability issues. When power tubes go, the fuse blows and that's it. The only reason for my upgrading was sonics. I am now happy a...
