Thank you gentlemen for your worthy posts.

Thank you guys (ladies are welcome, please) for some very informative responses.

Keep ’em coming, please.

@cd318 That video is fascinating. Thank you.

@mike_in_nc Good one. And relevant.

@gdnrbob Coincidentally, I did chat with Mr. Rutan a few weeks ago to get his opinion of an Audio Research tube integrated I’ve been considering. :)

Be well, all.

@mceljo

Well-stated, sir. (BTW, I wish I hadn't sold my Pathos Classic III. :) )

@brauser

+1000 on "the streaming thing"

Seems as if some of the comments posted during and after happy hour, or perhaps other recreational substances, have a rather different tone than those from earlier in the day. :)

This has been an informative thread for me, so thanks again to everyone who has posted.

@gdnrbob 

Yes, sir.  Johnny gave me some excellent advice.  Thank you both. 

And happy listening to all.
