Is Wife Acceptance Factor (WAF) sexist?
This must be the most ridiculous post on this forum. The GON now means gone as in gone to the loony bin.WAF simply means respecting his/her viewpoint and skills re: nesting. It's not that complicated.

General question about tube preamps and gain
A properly designed tube line stage for home audio should not have issues vs 'volume level' In fact tubes inherently have more linear operating range signal-voltage-wise than solid state typically. +/- 50V swings are not unachievable. Driving the ... 
Please Make Audiogon Cool
Hmmm, wondering if there's a bit of 'social media techno-isolation' going on here? Too bad there's not a bit of real human interaction, we may find we all have something(s) completely in common in real life ???Or maybe we'll all freak out.... In a... 
Please help me figure out what I need to do this. My head spins with tech talk..

Good for you Mark, put your heart first! Love is a beautiful thing, right up there with passion. It's why we're here. Shrinks need the straight jackets they created, meanwhile we'll keep that secret smile on our faces!;-) 
Once you go 300b it’s hard to go back?
Folks must realize most class 'D' amps are single ended amps as the analog signal is 'formed' across an inductor/capacitor pair just like a triode plate/cathode. All the gobbly-gook ahead of the passive pair is ultrasonic basically. No wonder clas... 
Does a tube need the break-in hours?
We've sold vintage tubes on 'bay for a decade (tekdesinc) and also are designing high-end tube gear. There's 4 categories to this question:1. raw new modern small signal tubes: definitely breakin for 100-200 hours depending on brand. If cryo'd hal...
