Spatial Audio Raven Preamp
@donsachs  I'm looking to purchase the pre within the near future, it seems to be the top option in my price range. Just looking at the Raven on the Spatial site I saw that it uses two 6AX4 rectifiers. If you don't mind me asking, why that rectif... 
Preamp Deal of the Century
Markus,   I have used the Phillips PQ, Phillips SQ, and Mullards. I also have Valvo and CEI, but I haven't run any of these two brands yet. I can't tell any difference in sound between the Phillips and the Mullards. Mick told me a while back that... 
The new Coda S5.5 amplifier: It's a "Petite Beast"!
Teajay Pardon me if I missed it here in the thread, but which of your pre amps do you prefer with the S5.5? The Aric Audio Motherload, the Coda 07X, or the SPL Elector?  
How many monthly kilowatt hours, including hi-fi, do you use?
Come on soul, you’re not “hurting the planet” using electricity, and please don’t call it a sin. If it’s keeping you up at night get solar panels for your home.   
Are You a Swifty?
Another garbage thread.   
eBay
They also take a % of whatever you charge for shipping.  
Triode Wire Labs
Thank you for the responses, they are very helpful. On the Western Electric wire, that would be very surprising as well as interesting. That would give his cables a “Dueland” type performance perhaps, but takin to a higher level by his design inno...

I did think of that but was apprehensive, some folks don’t like nosey questions about their products, some builders don’t even bother to answer emails. I won’t mention names.  
Amp — Leave on or turn off
@ emergingsoul, I care about the planet, and your comment is nothing but nonsense, and personal attack on the folks on this thread. Go away, please!  
Phono preamp, all suggestions welcome
@ tomic601 What is a Vandy...?   
Vinyl record storage in Harvey's office, Suits TV show
Best show ever!  I wondered the same thing about who built it. It gets moved a time or two to different offices as the show progresses.   
Shootout of Nos 6sn7 tubes
@tksteingraber  I have read that it’s closer to 50% of them are noisy/microphonic. That’s pretty good odds of getting bad tubes. You really need a competent and honest seller if you are going to buy them.   
Shootout of Nos 6sn7 tubes
@Linlai Elites E $354 delivered for a pair of chinese tubes? Oh hell no. Plus, chinese tubes are notorious for short life span. Good luck with these.   
Shootout of Nos 6sn7 tubes
Interesting thread. I have been a 6SN7 enthusiast since around 2003. After owning and using all the better versions in that time, I have finally stepped off of the 6SN7 merry go round and settled on my latest find. I am now using Ken-Rad 7193 with... 
Garage into listening room?
@ audiodwebe You live about 30 minutes west of Tacoma? Wouldn't that put you in the Pacific Ocean, or the Puget Sound? I was up there in the early 70's as a GI residing at Ft. Lewis, so my memory of the area has faded a bit.
