New Tinnitus study and possible treatment (via Science Daily)
Why does medicine always attempt to fix the symptoms instead of the cause. Imagine fixing a roof leak with the house foundation shaking. Attempting to fix the sound in your room by not paying attention to the room itself? Instead of an apparatus f... 
Integrated Tube Amps with Subwoofer out?
Use any integrated you want. Simple elegant solution. Give Jensen a call and they will set you up with any type connection that fits your situation. Under $200 I believe, very friendly service. https://www.cs1.net/products/jensen_transformers/SC-2... 
If you could, what live performances would you enjoy re-living?
Bruce Springsteen front row center as a warm up to The Paul Winter Quartet at My Fathers Place, Roslyn NY, 1972 just before Greetings From Asbury Park released. No one knew who he was but for me, it trumped the main event by far.  
System Plateau - Ideas?
If the bass in the room has not been “managed” then everything else is a mere compromise as it will smear upstream frequencies and you chase an elusive demon.  
Which integrated amplifier .
Wow, this is a tuff one. Please investigate the Hippocrates Institute in West Palm Beach. Also, investigate the use of CBD and derivatives from qualified individuals. Miracles can happen. Blessings.  
Speakers which always sound good
Open baffles can take much of the room out of it other than needing a front wall to develop a wave.  
Speaker upgrade question.
M669326,tweak1 is on it. Listen to open baffle before pulling any trigger. They have the ability to take much of the room out of it. The E.P’s are a steal, their designer moved on to develop Spatial and don’t miss Pure Audio Project. All have offe... 
Springs under turntable
Does anyone know if Nobsound fixed the manufacturing defects in the spring assembly production?  
Length of speaker cables
Went from Morrow 6’s to Cerious Graphene matrix, like an upgraded component even without any breakin. Was a wow moment and all connections were and are cleaned and treated with stabilant.

ls FM radio even listenable any more?
Unlistenable because of content or quality? If stations broadcast and stream, listen to what’s preferred. My Magnum Dynalab sounds great, nothing like vinyl or great digital, but the personalities of the DJ’s and the presentation is entertaining a... 
Tubes?
+1 MC, wrong loudspeakers. As I went up the efficiency ladder,  I went from clipping high powered SS amps on Mirage M1’s to barely cracking 5 watts on OB’s at 96 dB, 1watt, savoring the colors and hues over the wind blowing in my face.  
Cable droop
For years I have used “cable stackers”, dirt cheap from your local electrical supplier. These are easily suspended with monofilament fishing leader (doesn’t stretch to the degree of regular mono) from the wall, rack or anything available. Also par... 
What have you been working on in 2020?
Working on a dedicated room over a garage, 16.5x27. Just passed ZBA but haven’t gotten passed the building department yet. LOL. 220v with step down transformer or battery ps for low draw components. Maybe both?   
I think some cables are just a little too expensive.
+1 noromance, some may indicate that the cables are not expensive, just that some can’t afford them. A humbling thought.
