Which pair of speakers changed your Hifi life?
@4krowme  I'm running a pair of SK corner horns (which I bought, didn't build) right now powered by 2 SET Watts.  I just came back from the Pacific Audiofest and there was stuff that sounded better (but not a lot)  and there was a lot of stuff th... 
What Is Most Important?
 or are you, unlike me, going to take wire amplifiers and tonearms with you to eternity ??? - something tells me you won't succeed ((( At that point will I even care?  I'll just leave it to the next generation of audiophiles who hopefully will ...

Pacific Audio Fest
Full day at the show.  Lots of nice people and nice stuff.  It wasn't crowded at all but was spread out really weird.  One veder was giving out Tequila shots with dried mango..  I could of stayed longer but had to drive.

Seeking suggestions for 6922 tubes
The best 6922 I've heard are the Amperex D Getter from the late 50s early 60s.  I prefer them to the 7308.  I used them both in my MHDT Orchid Dac and the Decware SE84UFO.   
looking for a more efficient speaker.....
Similar type of design would be the GR Research NX-Otica Kit at a rated 93db.(Not really cheap). The Alon designer (which used to be Nola... same name only backwards) Worked on the Dahlquist DQ-20 and DQ-12. A sealed base box with a boxless midran... 
Audio PC
@milpai I appears to me that the Streacom ST-ZF240 ZeroFlex 240W Passive PSU is a switching power supply. It is fanless but from what I’ve gleaned from the specs of the high end streamers is that they all use linear power supplies to reduce elec... 
Billie or Ella? Maria or Renata? Technique or feeling?
@chowkwan  Thanks for the vid. I don't want to be disrespectful and listening to the  differences   only proves I don't know  anything about opera.  To me it was like which cat food do you prefer?  
Which pair of speakers changed your Hifi life?
I've always been anti horn,. not because I'd heard them but because I took the word of others that I thought were in the know.  We moved to a new house with a big room to fill.  I tried several types of speakers in the room and they sounded underw... 
Billie or Ella? Maria or Renata? Technique or feeling?
i don’t buy your assumption at all regarding jazz singers. I don’t know about opera or violinist but I’m a huge fan of Early Jazz vocalists. Billie Holiday - April In Paris https://youtu.be/F45if_7o10Q Ella Fitzgerald & Louis Armstrong - Ap...
