How many audiophiles do you need to change a lightbulb?
Uncle Fester just placed it in his mouth.  
Death of Rock 'n' Roll
   The Rock artists die just like the Jazz artists , but the music lives forever . Half of Led Zepplin’s music came from deceased Black Americans , so why even ask this question . Music so undocumented that it is “ Arranged by Ledbetter “ ! BTW , ... 
Zu Druid 6
    Phil , thanks for a rather enlightening article on the new Druids . My system is “ Rife with Problems “ as I have older Zu Omens , but I very much enjoy them . The fellow Agoner I purchased them from has Zu Druid 4/5, Devore, and Voxative . He... 
Is there a difference in sound quality when streaming TIDAL Vs CD player
Larry , great question . But unfortunately you have many variables to contend with . You will benefit the most from trying various combinations on YOUR SYSTEM . At my home,  I have an Oppo 105, a Schiit Yiggy , a Musical Fidelity’s transport . For... 
Just wanted to share that I got a new reviewing gig with Six Moons.com website
Nice , looking forward to the Tekton Perfect Set review . But could you please pass them to me on their way back to Tekton . I’ll only keep them for a few weeks ! Promise made with fingers crossed 🤞. Cheers , Mike.  
KT88 vs 6550 tubes
I’m sorry 3MA Audio , Houston, TX  
KT88 vs 6550 tubes
   So the “ KT” means kinked tetrode , this was a design change to circumvent the original patent. I have NOS Tung Sol 6550 ( 3 hole ) and SED Winged C 6550’s . I have NOS GEC KT-88’s and KT-77’s (smoked glass ). New production GL KT88’s and KT-77... 
Klipsch!. The worst speaker company, EVER?
   Take a look at the crap he sells on EBay . Odd tubes that “ somebody “ tested, vintage receivers that are not serviced , and other garage sale crap . I like his disclaimer that he “ video records “ the internals so “ parts pirates “ don’t try t... 
Please help me clean up this stupid speaker cable mistake
Mike , Mail them to grannyring . Many of us have his cables , and they Rock . I have more expensive stuff , and grannyrings IC’s sound good in comparison. His offer is generous, and he does good work . He’s a good example of the quality people on ... 
Beware of the cable claiming long burn in period.
@twoleftears, Morrow offers 60 days. Even at 400 hours , that’s not hard to do . Besides , if you ever actually talked to Mike , he will work with people . I run tubes , and I requested 10 day ( 240 ) hour break in on my power cords and speaker ca... 
Is anything better than the Accuphase T-100?
Thanks for a really cool discussion. Unfortunately I grew up and still live in Fresno . So I lost interest in FM long ago . My last dedicated tuner was a Dynaco FM 3 fully serviced ( tubes and alignment ) by a local shop . I then used Sansui and M... 
GO PATS!
   Yes Sir ! They are the WORLD CHAMPIONS ! In a 1 country sport .  
Tekton Design's new THE PERFECT SET equals "goosebumps time"
@teajay, so how does Zu compare to the Tekton ? Also how different will my 12wpc SEP sound Vs a true SET ? This is pretty vague question , but I’m asking with sincerity , Mike B.  
Hey RICH Audiophiles
   Never saw a single Porsche I didn’t admire . Especially the 917-30 with Mark Donahue driving . I savor the picture of myself  helping the late Al Holbert push the Lowenbrau 962 into the garage at Riverside . As a teen , I rode in the now famous... 
Buy 12ax7 tube
+1 to Loweider57, he is spot on with all advise . At your price point Tungsram and EI are your best bet . Telefunken is the best overall . Once you go Telefunken, you’ll never go back . I have a pre that takes 2 12AU7’s . I have about $ 2500. inve...
