Which cable has most impact - IC, Spkr., power?
Definitely depends on the compatability of the equipment/cable link and the synergy between all of the equipment and cables. If you cannot establish a synergy between all of the cables, you will be changing cables frequently. Some people decide to... 
When do you know when your tubes are going bad
I agree with stonedeaf. Unless it had this problem when you placed it in hibernation, it is probably not the tubes. When an amp hasn't been turned on for a while, it probably should be powered up slowly with a variac. 
Some irrefutable truths about rock and roll
Eee3, that statement is beyond opinion and you already know that! If not the Beatle than who? One thing is certain, there are bands that have been together and recording for over 25 years and have not come close to the Beatles in global record sal... 
Speaker cable improvements
Btstrg, you didn't answer his question either!! Are you the audiogon poster police? My response and the others implies that he change cables. Now, it's your turn to offer an improvement to Psacanli. 
Some irrefutable truths about rock and roll
No matter how you feel about them, The Beatles have become the yardstick that others are measured by. IMHO, they were and still are head and shoulders above everyone that preceded and succeeded them. Their influence transcended far beyond the musi...

Agree with all, but be prepared for 200-300 hours of break in time, but well worth it! 
Some irrefutable truths about rock and roll
Madhf is exactly right! In fact, it seems like we dropped the "roll" a long time ago and it is usually referred to as just "Rock". BTW, I listen to classical music as well, but some of these classicalphiles sound like my grandparents!

Joey, can you explain?

Separating your opinions from facts, everyone knows that Robert Johnson invented the Blues, except maybe you.

Brown out
Djembeplay I have the same model Furman as well and your question prompted me to email Furman regarding brownout protection. I think brownouts can wreak havoc on electrical motors, but I am not so sure about audio gear.Anyway, I will post Furman's... 
Furman Elite 15i versus SurgeX sa-15
I have the Furman - Elite 15PF - i - Power Conditioner and I am very happy with it. I have had the surge protector kick in once during a bad electrical storm and it saved my equipment. I am very pleased in that it does not have any sonic signature... 
Has Anyone Criticized The Choice Of Your Cables?
In all likelihood, he is one of those people that thinks negative criticism is helpful. This is probably his style of being helpful whenever he thinks something doesn't quite measure up. I would just ignore him. I hope he is not a friend. 
Brown out
Might be the time to consider a surge protector, just in case something bigger than a brown out is on the horizon. 
are all amps equal
Laser, I hear people say that about automobiles too, but we all know that they are not equal, despite the fact that they all go forward and backward and can turn left and right? If comparing one amp to another prompts one to say that X amp sounds ...
