Starting my showroom again
I would take a page from Jay's audio playbook and become a dealer from your basement. Create a YouTube channel and offer advice and expertise something that Jay really doesn't do and cultivate a following. The future of the audio industry is Drop ... 
How Many Times Do You Have To Listen To Understand A Piece Of Music?
Rap about five seconds. It’s absolutely horrifying. I don’t understand opera. Classical from Rachmaninoff is a challenge to understand. Frank Zappa challenging I just wish he played music rather than interrupt with all this weird stuff he likes to... 
Is there a vacuum tube summary poster similar to this grape varietal summary
I’d like to see a chart that shows the variety of usage areas with an amplifier and pre-amplifier , ie. Power, Signal tubes, for different tubes as well as the voltage and power outputs etc.. Clearly an amplifier designer needs to be aware of all... 
How do you decide what to listen to? Same old stuff?
So many sources to find good music to listen to and then when you get beyond all that you can actually listen to hopefully good music. Why can't I just be a Taylor Swift fan and make my life easy.    
How do you decide what to listen to? Same old stuff?
I do recall there are actual Radio stations available via roon, classical stuff comes to mind, that are surprisingly good..  Actual radio stations still exist out there and a lot of from foreign countries and the quality is very very good. of the... 
How do you decide what to listen to? Same old stuff?
@yyzsantabarbara  Wonderful suggestions.  I like roon radio and have a lifetime membership. I should give it more of a chance to inspire me.   That's a lot of music you listen to.  How much of you listen to is new versus old.  Must be very deep ... 
Test tones through Qobuz, is this possible?
I don't understand all this. Why can't you just go to YouTube and get test videos there are a lot to choose from if you wanna test speaker tones. And they do frequencies as well      
Added a Schiit Freya+ to a Sansui 8080
Try changing cables.  And maybe tubes. The Freya is an amazing beast. You can go back-and-forth between solid-state And tubes.   I would give it time and get used to how it sounds.  Change can be good. And then if all else fails buy two puppies  
Do I Really Need a Dedicated Streamer?
@dunkin I love the Spotify playlists playing music at random. They offer a much better variety of topics to choose from and then they individualize the number of playlists as I recall which are very good. Playlists on Q or T are not as good. I w... 
Moving from a stereo amp to a dual mono set up
i wondered if you could use each of the amps within the stereo amp to biamp one of the speakers and do the same thing on the other side.  Not adding two more dual amplifiers.  Although that might be kind of fun.    
Moving from a stereo amp to a dual mono set up
So why are they connecting positive and positive from speaker wires supposed to be connected to positive and negative? Why would they internally wire it this way when it’s to be used for mono after being bridged over from a stereo amplifier? Why ... 
Anyone else having trouble with Roon?
Who owns roon?  It would be wonderful if they had support on the phone. They have a forum that has an awful interface to deal with but there is a lot of knowledge there and it's somewhat responsive. It's a strange entity and I wonder how they ma... 
2-way design vs. 3-way design means ?
I thought it had to do with crossover design. ie  The crossover is cut into three sections and therefore you can feed the three individualized signals to as many drivers you want. This is a three-way I guess To say how many drivers a speaker has ... 
Moving from a stereo amp to a dual mono set up
The wiring of the speaker to the back of the amplifier is kind of weird. So I guess it's not doing bi amp  
Moving from a stereo amp to a dual mono set up
@61falcon  I thought you're supposed to keep all the circuits in the same phase for your system. As long as you don't have components Sharing different circuits ground loops should go away.
