Ideal power cord lengths?
Soix: That rings a bell (think it was <$40 new or used 20 years ago).   DeKay  
Whizzer cone drivers

What's going on with the used audio gear market?
hilde45: Did I step on your, or a friend's toes? Your Wiki "greed" blurb includes money in the definition, and your rebuttal makes ZERO sense (to me). Yes, it's apparent from your posts (in this thread) that we do not share the same sense of lo... 
A comparable phono preamp

Schiit's solid-state 6SN7
I didn't know about the SS or the 6n1p variant (found this shootout via Google). https://audio-head.com/a-schiit-tube-shootout-6sn7-vs-lisst-vs-6n1p/  DeKay
