Questions from a Tube Preamp newbie
So sorry to hear about Ron Sheldon. I hope he improves 
gold lion 12ax7 , au7
I'm thinking of trying the Gold Lion 12au7's in my Rogue RP-5 
Quicksilver Mono 120 vs. Quicksilver V4
I'm considering Quicksilvers myself 
Nuforce STA200
Yes, one person who has never had a real presence on AG. I'm not saying the person is a troll, however, one must look at what is right in front of them. Even if the amp did "pop" it would not be the first time someone got a defective (assuming the... 
Power Cord Break In
Actually, using a large appliance is a great idea. Sure beats wearing out tubes. I just got 2 new ZU event power cords and they are performing beautifully.

I wish there were consumer reports automotive type data that applied to audiophile gearl 
Highest BUILD quality tube amps?
I really wish I could swing two MC275’s, Atma-sphere monos, or Carver Monos. All have great sound ( although I have not heard Carver) and look wonderful. I like Rogue monoblocks as well, however, I hate that their tubes are somewhat hidden

Check out the Bob Carver Raven 350 amps.I am hoping some reviews start popping up for the Carver Crimson 275 
Duelund RCA interconnects...opinions
yes i'm sure they will open up even more. The one thing I will do different the next go around is have a couple more alligator clips to help hold things in place with the double wires. I also found a way to deal with the outer sleeving without fre... 
Duelund RCA interconnects...opinions
LessLoss cables are much more expensive the Duelund. I made my first set of Duelund 16ga RCA's today. Without any break in, the sound is much smoother and 3d compared to the BlueJeans cables they replaced. So sonically, I was able to improve my so... 
Nuforce STA200
The hiss with the Nuforce should be louder than the Sony due to higher than normal gain. Do you have a friend’s house you can take the amp to and try there? Also, light dimmers have caused noises with my systems in other homes. Even if the dimmer ... 
How long should Pre amp (12au7) tubes last in Rogue Preamp?
Thanks for the info. I may purchase a set of Gold Lions sooner rather than later so I have working back up tubes.
