RE: Trying to find the problem

https://lyrion.org/getting-started/

I thought my Squeezebox Touch had given up the ghost.

I installed a modem / router booster with ethernet outputs near the equipment rack and connected a CAT 7 S/FTP (shielded twisted pairs) ethernet cable from the booster to the Squeezebox Touch then upgraded with the above lyrion software.


After four years of ownership and when they were still located in nearby Pleasanton California my M3 preamplifier's dual mono attenuators became scratchy. They claimed the attenuator contact issue was "just normal ware and tear."

They quoted attenuator replacement at $400 each or a complete main board revision which included new attenuators and a noticeably improved sound for $1400.
They assured me they had both the attenuators and the board on hand and the work would be completed within two weeks.

Over nine months later I sent them a confirmed delivery registered letter demanding the immediate return of the preamp and the $1400. Living in the same County I began a small claims suit. The preamp was shipped eight days later. It did have a new main board. I found, if any improvement in fidelity, extremely subjective at best and sold it.
