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.

New Pass Labs Go To
Why is it ok for ghdprentice to drop his political comment on the thread and not have it deleted? I thought we were in a politics free forum???  
Looking for people who had heard both the Kuzma 4point 9 and the SME V...

$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
  The tube Don, myself, and many other manufacturers would like to see go back in production would be a 45. @lynn_olson As best I can make out, Sophia and EML both make a type 45. Good news (though not exactly affordable) From the EML website... 
What happened to all the highend stereo shops
@crlambert, turn off the news channel, you'll be a much happier man.   
300b lovers
Such an interesting thread. If I could only hit the Lotto I'd get in line for the coming Spatial amps, pre amp, and a quad of new W.E. 300B's.   
ZYX "House" Sound
I don't have the audio reviewers vocabulary to do justice in describing my ZYX Ultimate Exceed 100 cartridge. My table is a highly Hot Rodded VPI Prime Prototype with a TriPlaner tonearm. I have to say that the ZYX is highly resolving with just en...
