Question on Chinese Tubes Shuguang KT-88-T (Nature series)
Guys, I know there are other good tubes out there. But Thats not the question. I have 3 tubes which sound very good and I need one more. Do I abandon the 3 I have or take a chance on these questionable Shuguang tubes? 
Question on Chinese Tubes Shuguang KT-88-T (Nature series)
@russ69 Indeed, they are good. I've run their  KT66 also with great results  As good as they are, the Shuguangs are a better tube. I ran those for a month prior with very nice results and they weren't even broke in yet(EDIT)

@oregonpapa I too got into roasting my own beans some years back. Bought beans from Sweet Marias and others. SM is a great link for info too. Anyway, I came to understand that my roasts were never quite as good as that roasted by professionals wit...

@oregonpapa  I wish I could hear your & Miller's  systems. I have the PPS installed in my system and know the benefit. The Core power 1800 was another step up. I just got it. I learned the beauty of footers and power when I started experimenti...

@mijostynYour argument seems to be  the idea that your mind is unable to  accurately translate your senses. Therefore, this "truth" applies to all of us. The only question is , Why should anyone believe you since you say your senses are not accur... 
will changing to solid-state make the bass in my wilson sophias better at low volume?
Firstly, I have no experience with either your amp or speakers. That said, I notice you are trying for more bass with a  triode amp. I suspect the triode will not give you that bass because they usually cut off the bass in favor of midrange emphas...

Is is wise to set Power Conditioner on its front rather than on it's bottom.
Thanks Guys@ebm  I will set it upright cause I'm terribly allergic to stupidity. 
What's in your CDP tonight? the minority report
Grand Funk Railroad - Grand Funk (Red Album) & Phoenix. Both Great Albums. GFR SHOULD BE in the R&R Hall Of Fame, yet they have been overlooked BIG TIME.  
Audiophile demographics?
She bemoans the fact that I've made her into an audiophile in terms of assessing the sound quality instead of just listening to the music Why can't she/you do both? This idea of just listening to the equipment is what many accuse audiophiles of... 
Audiophile demographics?
@rcronk Thanks. I'm just a tad younger but was an early Zeppelin fan from 69 when their 1st album came out. Same with Sabbath. These along with Iron Butterfly, Grand Funk, and other hard rock groups were staples of my music diet. My experience is ... 
Audiophile AC Outlets
I installed an Oyaide R1 about 15-18 yrs ago and haven't looked back. Tried an Arrow Hart before that. It was an improvement over the cheap outlets I had previous. But the R1 was a big improvement.  
100 W Tube Amplifier Malfunctioned
I'll chime in though pretty much everything  has been said. I hope the mfg will do the right thing and fix the amp free of charge. You bought it direct from him. I think he sent a faulty product.. Best to you. 
Audiophile demographics?
@linndrum888  they know it's the music which is the thing, not the gear. I've heard this said before and it never has made any sense to me. Of Course  the music is "the thing". But HOW do you get the music without the gear? You DON'T. So the gea...
