| Linlai 6SN7 As a general rule, preamp tubes don’t run anywhere as hot as amplifier output tubes and that’s one big reason they can last 2000-10000 hours. I’m currently running a couple of Amperex 6922 and while I wouldn’t want to be holding one, they’re not s... | |

| Need Recommendations for a pair of Speakers around $1,000 FYI, the Klispch Hersey 2’s might be exactly what you’re looking for. If you’re a lover of bass, you might want to add a sub, but all in all for $1k they are a lot of speaker. All the best. JD | |

| Are Black Ravioli products sold in the US? @rocray Not yet. Was hoping to find someone in the states. While BR has a 30 day return policy, I wouldn’t have to deal with international shipping and customs in case I wanted to return them. I deal with international shipping many times a yea... | |

| Too many choices for R2R DACS--opinions appreciated I currently have an original Schiit Bifrost and a Denafrips Pontus ll. It’s a PITA, but comparing them was interesting. The Bifrost is great, but the Pontus ll is a totally different animal! Much better bass and better mids and highs. Definitely... | |
