honestly it sounds to me as if buying a pair of new panel mount rca jacks would solve your issue, or trying different interconnects.

Assuming you can verify visually that the rca isn't shorting at the moment does the static change channels if you swap tubes between L/R? I am thinking an intermittent short to ground in the rca damaged either a vacuum tube, transistor, or opamp. Though my knowledge in this situation is slighty...

If you could post some pictures of the interior of your amplifier it would greatly help especially area near rca connections in rear

What seems to be the issue with your LD I+? Would like to help if possible

Nice! recently I have been listening to the new 2014 remaster of "Led Zeppelin II" as well as some vinyl copies of "Led Zeppelin I" through my LD I+ and I am loving it 

Which album/mastering did you give a listen to?

Hopefully it turns out better than most of my projects ;) 

Aww the return policy is key I did not think about that at all. Hmm, more food for thought I guess think I might just pull the trigger on the ODAC pcb and put together some sort of enclosure for it.

What qualities of the Modi helped make the decision for you?

I am looking at the ODAC right now and it seems to be the business for the money, but the Modi has come to mind as well :/ 

Hey gibosi, What DAC are you using with your LD I+?

Sounds like the MUSES02 is what I will be ordering. Just need to find a good deal on price now. Thanks for all your help with everything.

Hmm looks like I'll be getting one of these price is not to bad at all compared to ~$85 for a cheap discrete model. Would you say the Muses 01 is almost to neutral given my choice in tubes (GE 8425A)? I really enjoy a warm, detailed sound.

I did a quick google search and they seem to be reasonably priced but i wonder if for the little extra cash a discrete opamp such as the burson or dexa discrete models would be worth the slight bump in price. How much did you pay for your muse 02 and what kind of qualities would you attribute to it?

Yes I have swapped it to an OPA2107. I tried LM4562 as well but was not happy with the sound. Here are some pics for everyone. Tektronix GS 8425A/6AU6 Installed Soldered Pin 2 to Pin 7 with jumper wire (yellow)   I think I am going to get a couple SOIC OPA627 and see how those sound...
