Are MULLARD NOS EL34s and LTA ZOTL40 REF worth the price of admission?
You can pick up the amp used. There is one on USAudio Mart now.  I bought mine used at a pretty decent discount. I'm seeing that the resale price of the LTA integrated amps is not that great probably because the company isn't know well. I can als... 
Speaker of My House…!
I'd say go open baffle. There are some great Spatial Audio X3s (used but the seller is a great audiophile and has it in great shape) for sale on Audiocircle or USAudiomart for a great price. They image like crazy and are broken in.

The band 'Sparks' on Netflix
Back in the day, I was mesmerized by their album covers but I never bought any. I saw the Documentary in the Theatre and really enjoyed it. They are characters. They never had the cliche drug or alcohol period but they did have trouble getting the...

Speakers that are good with tubes
Spatial Audio Lab X5s and X3s. High efficient, open baffle speakers you can drive with 2 plus watt tube amps.   
Thoughts about the "Cheapaudioman" on YouTube
Today his sponsor was Sith Audiophile coffee: While not made from real audiophiles, "It captures what it means to be an audiophile, old and bitter." Heh.  
I feel bad for GenX'ers that missed out on the 60s and 70s.
I was born in 1958 and even though the Beatles were big in the 1960s, I really didn't experience Beatlemania. I didn't even really understand it until I saw the movie/documentary Eight Days a Week. I agree with the OP because there is a differenc... 
What are your top 3 favorite female singers?
I don't think anyone is overlooking anyone. The OP says 3. In another thread, I listed many many more.   
Music for 2022- Is It Just Me Or?..
@designsfx I don’t buy that many as I would never really have an opportunity to get to know the albums. Using the old "back in the day," you used to buy an album with almost no chance to hear it before unless in a record store, radio or a friend... 
Music for 2022- Is It Just Me Or?..
I like to look at end of year lists and see the type of music I like in several lists. This year I’ve got several things I like and there might be more. Alvvays: Blue Rev Big Thief: Dragon New Warm Mount Soccer Mommy: Sometimes, Forever Hatchi...
