Niagara 5000 Vs Torus RM20 or PS Audio Power Plant 12
@nyev, Thanks for that feedback. Yes, that plastic adapter to make the plugs have a firm fit with the equipment sure looks and feels very, well, low grade and out of character for such an exotic power cable. You have now piqued my interest on you... 
Niagara 5000 Vs Torus RM20 or PS Audio Power Plant 12
@nyev  Agree with you on all points. Adding to the discussion regarding our ears and listening impressions with various devices. I bought a 1/2 dozen of Shunyata Sigma NR 2 power cables for my system. Well, too much is too much. I used Neotech hi...

@nyev,   Yes, but those are technical measurements with some being out of the range of human hearing. Although measurable distortion readings, these readings may not be audible. I believe that if anyone has noticeable power fluctuations which im... 
Linlai E 6sn7 tubes
I am burning in the new Linlai E 6SN7s. These are in my Aesthetix Io phono stage. so far, so good. I am liking what I am hearing and what I am not hearing, bland, rolled off or muffled sounding, etc.  I can’t say these are a night and day differe...

Linlai E 6sn7 tubes
I received my Viva purchased Linlai E 6SN7s and they look fantastic. They have a nice gold text label, the serial numbers inside the glass, and the insides look identical to Global and Grant Fidelity Linlai 6SN7s. Through conversation with Viva it...

@danmar123    I just sent them an e-mail too. They are not taking calls:    "Good morning, I have a question after reading that Grant Fidelity was also selling the new Linlai E 6SN7 Global tubes. They look different and have different brandin... 
Linlai E 6sn7 tubes
@danmar123   I am with you there too. I am expecting a pair of the Linlai E 6SN7s tomorrow as well. Will see what they look like when I receive them. Based on comments so far, not to optimistic that they will in fact be the real Global Elite se...

Linlai E 6sn7 tubes
@lowrider57    Yes, you are right. I just compared the Viva tubes with the Linlai website and they appear to be two different tubes. Hmm, something is not quite right for sure. Did you order any from Grant or Viva? The Viva web site says Globe a...

New Hemingway Audio Power Cables WORLD's BEST ???
Here we go again. Some people tried, like a few, not dozens so there is a lack of experiential feedback.   
I finally got a record cleaning machine. First thoughts.
@mijostyn,   Congratulations on getting the Clearaudio Double Matrix Sonic. It is definitely worth it if you love playing clean static free records, and in my case, have a large record collection exceeding 10k and ever growing.    I first had t... 
Linlai E 6sn7 tubes
“Just contacted Viva Tubes & they informed me that, the 4 tubes I ordered will be individually boxed w/its test data. If anyone is curious.”   Does Viva tubes include test data for all tubes they mail out? I don’t recall if I had test data v... 
Linlai E 6sn7 tubes
After reading the feedback here about the Linlai 6SN7 tubes, I ordered a pair for my Aesthetix Io Eclipse phono amp. I have used Tung Sols, EHs, and JJs. It will be interesting to hear how these sound in a phono amp.
