Outside USA new Tube Tariffs
Op, there are USA options for tubes for new production tubes - TubeDepot, VivaTubes, Upscale Audio, heck even Guitar Center  
Who is your favorite tube seller?

New Turntable.
Errr, a reasonable person would ask how/why someone would be selling a purportedly new turntable for essentially nothing , and only charging the cost of shipping. But, whatever. Hope you get what you are expecting  
New Turntable.
@jimbennet   Sorry but you are wrong!  My comment was relative to your response to lig's comment just above . Your comment missed his point which again had nothing to do with Fluance itself it has to do with the specifics of the  transaction.   
New Turntable.
@jimbennet  - No one stated anything about Fluance itself , the good luck was directed at this  'deal" that you are getting - a 'new" turntable including shipping for $49. On paper it makes no sense whatsoever.   
New Turntable.
@jimbennet  "I bought new Fluance RT-81 for $49 from China with free shipping.. Other sellers were $200 and more."   Be really curious how someone can sell a  new unit including shipping for $49?  It's  hard to fathom  even a used unit to cost $... 
The verdict - Burmester 232 is worth MUCH MUCH MUCH more than its price!!!
@madhusudan_ramaswamy   Maybe I'm missing something but I don't see anywhere in your posts why exactly the Burmester is worth Much Much More. I have no idea if it is or isn't, but your thread title exclaimed it is so how about some specific contex... 
Jay’s Audio Lab is shutting down
@daytrader  Thanks for your response and putting your original comment on the TADs into perspective. I take his commentary with a grain of salt  like I do those of  "reviewers" in general.

@daytrader Ihaven't heard TAD speakers - what are your listening impressions of them with and without aftermarket footers?

@emergingsoul  "a lab is a really nice dog."    Give the fake ignorance about him and his channel a rest. Below are 3 gushing Jay's threads that you started, including the one in March 2024 where you "announced" his pending move to Texas https:...

Lab has been how he has characterized his audio environment for his channel , and going forward he'll have 2 audio rooms aka labs

@emergingsoul "Do not understand his business."  "Is he retiring?  I’m confused by his last video." Re-watch from like 10 minutes on - pretty clear  he isn’t retiring,  what his plans are - 2 "audio labs" , and in general how he makes his money  
Turntable-Amplifier-Speaker configuration question.
@nickb64  -  You stated "Phono to AUX routing".  Can you clarify if that means you are going directly from the turntable to the speakers Aux input; or if that means Phono preamp to speaker Aux input.  If you mean the former than the  issue would b...

McIntosh amp Power tube replacements needed
JJ sells 2 different KT88 tubes a clear glass and a blue glass , $60 and $70 per tube, respectively. If as you stated the "McIntosh" tubes are made by JJ and cost $120 you have to ask yourself what is "special" about these tubes given that JJ does...
