Spinal Tap - The End Continues
Hoping that elderliness makes them even more funny and bent.  
Hello Audiogon...
Veterans of these kinds of forums know what the daily commotion is about in the first place - money and the gyrations and anxiety its outlay produces in humans. It makes people crazy whether its their own money at risk or the money other people ha... 
Neil Young
Many great artists - and Young is one - are febrile personalities, and similar people types can trigger the heck out of them.  
Looking to Develop A Short List For An Interconnect
I have removed xlr IC's from my system as they were too rambunctious. It is fundamentally a Primaluna tube pre feeding AGD Audion mk3 Ganfet amps. The RCA IC's are plenty articulate without overstimulating the class D amps and the Cornwall 4's. I ...

"I would say the higher resolution, less noise, better transient response system is, the less power is needed." Exactly the thought process I used to go through when looking for a mate. Wooing a sound system is very like wooing a mate with all th... 
Like finding things?
Leanne Morgan Digs Heart I can't think about the band Heart without summoning stand-up comedian Leanne Morgan's bit about going to see them and Joan Jett in concert recently. Starts at about the 6:30 mark in the video.  
Tube change.
My Primaluna EVO 400 tube power amp runs A-matched Sophia Electric EL34's. These have always been very solid performing tubes. Since the Primaluna can also run KT88's, I have been pondering buying those too.    
The Accidental Tweak
There is a Dutch Youtuber/equipment reviewer (Headquarter Audio)  who makes and sells the Qstab CD Clamp, and who goes through every newly arriving component with a wrench to probe for over tightened fittings. He is especially adamant about "takin...
