How to make small room sound bigger
Good topic  OP. I keep toying with the idea of turning my office into the listening room. It's 14 x 13 w 8 ft ceilings so very similar. Thanks @erik_squires  for the GIk recommendation. That looks like a good source for a DIYer    
Trafomatic Amplifiers
Looks interesting.But never heard them or of them. Probably pricey too  
Impressions of the Re-issued Genalex Gold Lion U77/GZ34 Rectifier Tube
@jjss49  I have been  told this before and will heartily agree. The fact is that many things were built much better before built in  obsolescence became the byword for mfgs. However, the problem is the $150+ for the NOS tubes.The GL was $40. But ...

My likes and Disappointments with the Pro-Ject Record Cleaning Machine

My likes and Disappointments with the Pro-Ject Record Cleaning Machine

Intriguing inquiry, are floor-stand speakers always better than active speakers?
@whitefishpoint1175  Oh @ghdprentice That is only your opinion.  Actually its probably NOT only his opinion. But why even point it out at all, as if his opinion has little or no veracity? The OP asked for "opinions" FWIW I have found that I a... 
Looking for Blues with High Fidelity
This is off the cuff but Blues is a very wide genre. Many good artists are often regional. Many also are more popular in Europe Like Luther Allison, et al. And their music is not as easily found. But they are very rewarding. These are albums I hav...

Shuguang Treasure Series KT120
Yes. I needed a Shuguang kt88 T and couldn't find one except in China. You may try China HiFi. The problem I encountered was shipping was as costly as the tubes. And since one had blown and taken out a power supply, I was hesitant to try them agai...
