Hiatus
I have found that my musical "judgement" is at its most accurate when listening late at night in the dark with just a hint of THC running through my brain and ears, Got my medical card last year. What the THC does is amplify focus and eliminate "m... 
Not sure for power conditioner my amp or not.
My Primaluna EVO 400 pre and power amps are plugged directly into the Hubbel wall outlets dedicated line. Since I don't leave these tube amps on 24/7 it is easy to just leave them unplugged when not in use and when I am not around to monitor light... 
SNAKE OIL! A new TV Show hosted by David Spade
I ran into someone about 6 months ago who was arguing that "high end music" was snake-oil. This person didn't get music - at all. Any music.  
They know we will pay anything they can think of
I remember listening to Peter Qvortrup who runs Audio Note say that nobody in high end was making money these days.  
Primaluna signal tube replacement
Primaluna’s stock tubes in the outer positions are fine. I have been running vintage Amperex "Bugle Boys" in the gain positions with great results. On the power amp I run A-matched EL-34's from Sophia Electric - also outstanding.

Being alone with your music
Alone in the dark late at night. A touch of medical cannabis. Amazing things are in the air..  
Speaker cable lifters.
As a temporary test just use some one thing tall enough to lift the entire cable off the floor.  
Idalia and Power Issues
Equally interesting is what happens to all the battery powered cars in the storm surges.  
Power conditioners and power regeneration
When the El Nino weather pattern began to really kick in a few weeks ago in my area, I began to notice a slight uptick in sound quality deterioration during the hottest parts of the day when everyone's air conditioners were going full tilt. Late a... 
What is the science behind audiophile fuses?
I have had SR purples in my Primaluna pre and power for a couple of years and loved them, but it took about 20 hours of play to really start to hear what they were doing. At 50 hours the juice really started to come on. A few weeks ago I added th... 
Why Can't Modern Tube Manufacturers Make a Proper Tube?
I have been running 8 A-matched Sophia Electric EI-34’s in my Primaluna and have been very pleased with them. Not cheap though.
