PSVANE ACME 300B TUBES
$1,100 shipped for a pair with a one year guarantee. They would have to be twice as good as the EML Mesh that cost me $700 or so, and have a five year guarantee, before I would consider them. Going by user input I have seen to date, chinese tubes ... 
Watermelon test for audiophiles!
To pick a ripe melon thump it with a finger. A hollow sound will indicate a ripe melon, a solid sound indicates not ready. The thump test however, is not an accurate test for good cables.   
Re-wiring the listening room: Questions
Use MC Cable (metal clad). It provides a metal shield around each circuit home run. But you must have steel bracket boxes, plastic will not work.   
300b lovers

Turntable weight affects speed
@lloydc On belt replacement,  I use two belts on my table. Every six months or so I drop them into a pan of boiling water for about twenty seconds, this "un stretches" them a bit. After drying, they go into the zip lock with baby powder in it, t...

FAVORITE POWER CABLE under $100 (1M)
Maybe Carlsbad should have said, pre 8% inflation, or whatever the exact figure is. Under $100 is tough as far as a cable thats going to give any actual sonic improvement. For a bit more you can get into Audio Sensibility entry level. He makes ver...

Very interesting post. Lampizator is on my want list.  
Is Revelation Audio out of business ?
Brad made a Supratek umbilical for me, received it about 10 days ago. The process took 3 weeks from order to delivery. Best to communicate through the address on his web page.
