Tell Us about an Album That Took a Long Time to Grow on You
Jah Wobble/Evan Parker "Passage To Hades" -- extremely sophisticated mixture of jazz, avangard and Irish folk.   
Tinnitus remedy?

Tinnitus remedy?
One of 200kg young musician I know of said he knows about risk to the heart, but he still likes his pasta with sausage daily. 
Time to irritate the community!
Yea covers irritating. don't listen to'em. 
Vocals and upper midrange too forward?
Now I know why you need break-in period!1. Adapt to a new different sound.2. Miss the return/refund date, because you'll need to add a few more days/hours to break in. 
A nice read on tubes!
Fisher 500 mentioned is a true champ.Empire turntables all over on vintage adds and pictures.Tube receivers and amps of the past can easily compete with today's high-end tube units with substantially better built quality and offered todays prices....

Let's see or discuss your desktop speakers!
I'm very pleased with AKG K241 600Ohm headphones at my desk powered by $12 DIY USB headphone amp purchased from Alibaba.

Headphone Jack Not Disengaging Speakers?
That's design flow and it's annoying. The only way to get around it is to unplug speakers from amp. The output stage will still be loaded with headphones so your amp will be allright. 
You want the TRUTH from those Wilson Alexia's, maybe you can't handle the TRUTH
yet there will be buyers tempted by something new and will 'bite' the bait even despite Bryston shows better monetary figures.than the price will drop to the point where it will make sense to purchase. 
Speakers with external parts, gimmicks or serious?
Well, there are speakers with adjustable crossovers and pots in rear pannel such as Vandersteen, Sansui.

every audiophile MUST have at least 6...7 version of each pop album in order to share the recording quality on audiogon.
