I have been using Silclear "contact enhancer" for several years. The concept seemed obvious and logical to me. To be honest I cannot say that I ever heard a difference but it seemed like a proactive practice to use for cleaning my IC pins and especially my tube pins....until this week. I...

Does anyone here have contact information for the owners or administrators of the AudioCircle website? I use it from time to time but now have managed to get locked out. I would like to make contact with them but have not found a way to do that. Thanks!

I tried to login to AC tonight and found that my login had been locked out. Does anyone have any direct contact information for the administrator of AC? Best, Paul

I have had several experiences with my own equipment and one with a friend's that resulted in either an explosion(small), smoke, and\or burning. I have been doing DIY for about 35 years and have never had a serious fire but have received a couple of bad shocks. I thought that I would start a...

How do you edit your thread title in the For Sale forum. I have looked everywhere and it is in no way obvious...

I am noticing lately that HF is very slow. Each page takes much longer than usual to load. I have a fast 100/100 FIOS connection and other sites are fine. Using Windows 10 with current version of Chrome.

Hi, I am making IC's with the new Duelund 20ga hookup wire to replace my already nice Belden IC's. These Duelund ICs continue to amaze. I am nearing the end of my roll of ancient silver "Wonder Solder" and am now considering a solder purchase. Any suggestions? Does silver content help? Do I...

Well I have to admit that I am pretty disappointed that the other thread regarding developments in Focusrite REDnet and AES67 got locked. I am not disappointed that it was done but that it needed to be done.   I would politely ask that we not turn this into a brawl and that those inclined...

When I log in I usually get a count of unread posts next to my avatar in the upper right hand corner of the screen. This tells me that I might want to check out those threads. I then go to my subscribed threads page to see what has been updated. More often than not the new post is something like...

Massdrop has the Airist Heron 5 for $750 on Massdrop. I heard one at a buddies home and liked it a lot. Jumped in today...

I have a "rehabilitated" Single Power Extreme amp that runs 6SN7/5998 tubes. It is ~9 years old. I followed some suggestions on HF and from Kevin Gilmore to replace the transformer and a few other under-spec'ed parts. It has been working great and I really enjoy the sound especially now that I...

Hi,   Does anyone know of a good place to get tubes tested in the DC\Silver Spring area? I know about DejaVu in Virginia but I am looking for something on my side of the Potomac.   I have a stash of NOS tubes for amps that I no longer own and projects that I will never embark upon so I...

I have a friend who enjoys good music. A number of years ago I set her up with an audiophile recommended but cheap DVD player to use with a Cary Audio 2A3 tube amp. I am blanking on the brand of the DVD player but it was one that sold for about $100 and everyone was modding because it was such a...

I recently bought a used Leben 300x. It is the Japanese version which is wired for 100v. As is usual folks use them with a beefy 120 to 100v stepdown transformer. It's effect on sonics is debatable however it sounds great now so I am not sweating that.   Yesterday I opened it up to work on...

I have seen several users who have a hypertext link in their sig which points to their feedback. I can see how to put a URL in my sig but how do I make it a shortened hypertext link. I would like it to just say "Archived Feedback".   I poked around in the sig editor for a while but got no...

Hi All,   I spent about 20 minutes here on on Google trying to find the Audeze website. It is indeed a well kept secret. Anyone know the address?   Thanks!   Paul

Last night when I read one of the posts in a For Sale forum my Avast Anti-virus popped up with a warning about a Trojan. I notice this morning that folks at DIYAudio are talking about the same thing in the PassLabs forum there. It was late and I neglected to get a screen print but perhaps a...

AudioTailor Impedance Converter Several months ago I read a thread where Joseph Lau of AudioTailor was offering a free impedance converter to anyone who was willing to write a short review. I took him up on his offer deciding that if I liked it I would write a review and if I thought that it...

Hi, I have poked around and read quite a bit but for the life of me cannot find a nice 1\4" headphone jack with silver or gold plating. Most seem to use chrome. In the past I have used the locking Neutrik jack. I am sure that it is fine but I wonder if there is something better. I would also...

Hi, Anyone tried the new Sophia Electric 6SN7 yet? Thanks, Paul

Hi, I posted this on the TP Support page but have not gotten an answer yet so I though I would try here. Does anyone know what the requirements are for the analog output "blocking" caps from the PCM2707 DAC? I am going to use the board as a USB DAC-headphone amp for portable use with my...

Hi, I am in the last bit of wiring for my OPUS/Ballsie DAC. I was wondering if anyone had actually tried driving headphones with either an Opus/Ballsie combo or with a Buffalo. I realize that one would probably need to use the Volumite to control the volume upfront but I was wondering is...
