Same here. The M15 is incredible, just ordered my CMA18 from eBay.

I think I know the solution to your problem. In JRiver go to Tools Options, Device Settings then select open device with exclusive access. That will prevent other programs like Steam from sending sounds to your Mojo and so the sound won't cut out.

I was wondering the same as I don't want to pay $900 for a battery.   So, I checked what battery they use and found an identical one (same chemistry LiFePo4, same voltage 12.8V, same capacity).   All for $160 including free charger on special offer. So, I ordered one.  ...

Never tried them. They appear to be $150 and out of stock. At that price I assume they're great. I defer to Skylab on these exotic tubes.

It sure isn't the cheapest. Read my thread (and others on the merits of each tube). For me the Sylvania 7308 is the cheapest really good sounding tube of that type. If you want one that's cheap and good then I recommend the JJ which is what Jack should ship the WA2 with.  ...

Sorry I cannot define what you consider affordable. I think for the level of performance it's a great price. Some of the top tubes are $150 per tube or more.

I have the Woo Audio 2 with stepped attenuator and black gate caps and the Beyerdynamic T1 headphones.   I posted in depth here about the effect of the different tubes. The WA2 is very transparent but sounds terrible with the stock tubes I got with it. You cannot make any meaningful...

That's pretty much in line with what I found. The 5998 Tung Sol is my clear favorite. Was intrigued that GE made something called a 5998A which has identical plates to their own 6AS7G but in a different glass envelope. Do the two have different specs?

I uploaded a picture of the GE 5998A (left) next to the GE 6AS7G (right). You can't see it in that shot but the alleged 5998A does say that on the glass too.   As mentioned the one labeled 5998A is a longer tube but comes in a shorter box.  ...

Bought some new power tubes.   RCA 6AS7G - Sound enjoyable   GE 6AS7G - Did not enjoy these   GE 5998A - Liked these quite a lot but not as much as Tung Sol 5998   Weirdly the GE 5998A (says that on the tubes and on the original boxes) has an identical plate formation with subtle...

From what I've read of those tubes you'll be delighted as soon as you have the 5998 tubes installed!! Looking forward to your impressions.

I have had the WA2 for a couple of months now and it's been a journey to get great sound. Without question, the device is excellent (mine has the Black Gate caps and stepped attenuator) but you need the right tubes to get a great sound. What is great sound? Well, for me it's sound that is...

By the way, a headsup that according to Stereophile, the output of iTunes is not good, the quality is poor as of version 7.5 so if you're getting sub-par sound, that could be why. Stereophile: Is Your Media Player Broken?

Just got my Pico in the mail. I was number 198 on the preorder list and the Pico had #140 on the package so that gives you an idea of the ration on people who ordered to people who paid. That may help you estimate when you'll be getting yours. It was immediately recognised by my computer and...

I got a shipping confirmation and I'm 198 on the list so I expect he'll be shipping at least up to 203 when those last 5 go.
