Open Baffle. Why are they mostly limited to DIY?
Alon, Nola have been around for a while also.  You can build your own field coil speakers and they will sound fantastic! 
Store auditioning and then buying on-line from others. How do you feel about it ?
What business are you in?  What do you provide for free?  How do you earn your money?  I want to come buy and waste your time so that I can take your advice and then find a better deal somewhere else.  Can't wait until no dealers are left and you ...

Fix it or not, my CJ Premier 11a Amp?
Send it to me in New Jersey and I will convert to point-to-point wiring and then it will just sound magical. I did this for a CJ MV-50 amp and paired with my Meadowlark speakers at the time was just pure magic. I also upgraded a few resistors and ...

My rant; we don't know what we don't know
Like the thread.  Many opinions and that is also great.  My experience came form building and repairing gear.  That helped me to understand how to design sound.  Also that allowed me to compare many components in my own system as I had to test the... 
Michael Fremer's system
Funny how probably nobody here has met Mike, been to his home, or understands him as a person.  Mike is a music lover, not so much a gear lover.  He probably gets a good price on some gear but it is still not cheap.  The room is his main listening... 
NEW Cerious Technologies Upgrade - Graphene Matrix Cables
I also see that Mad Scientist Audio makes cables with graphene design.  Anyone compare them? 
Genalex GL GZ-34 Rectifier...Did I just get a bad one? Five months seems
Like trelja I also like the sound of the JJ EZ34 tube.  I would find the specs for the amp and see if the voltage to that tube is correct.  Other than that I agree with atmasphere on the design having caused some of the issue.  
Looking to get into tubes on the cheap
Dynaco mono amps already modified!Happy Hunting. 
USB Cable Comparison Audience / Cardas / Purist / Stealth / Wireworld
Very nice information and time taken to compare and write this all up.  I personally do not use a USB cable so I have no opinion on any of the cables although I have used the different brands in other applications and have found a few similar resu...

You can upgrade your old preamps with a better volume control, V-Caps or Jupiter Caps, and get a choke from David Slagle in NYC.  Happy Listening.

Depends on the unit.  Happy Listening.
