Grandinote becoming more U.S.A.
Congratulations and best wishes!  
Relationship between Ethernet Switch and SQ
Everyone begins and ends this part of the audio journey differently. What is the baseline from which to compare? Is it a redbook cd vs a streamed version? We then must obsess over whether the recording is consistent between the two samples?   I ...

Purchase on Audiogon arrived not as described
@bslon  @mahgister    I wasn’t trying to insult the OP, on the contrary, people with little to no buy/sell experience on Audiogon are most likely to make a mistake. If rookies are on both sides of a deal, the odds are pretty good something will... 
Grimm MU1 Streamer - Really "The Best"?

Why is Audiogon insisting on a verified physical address in order to post?
Spam, phishing posts  
Am I broken? Am I stuck? Do I have to return my audiophile card now?
@bigfatpaulie what size is your room? The reason I ask is the Sabrina is more room agnostic than the Sasha. Too small and the Sasha's may not even sound as good as your Sabrinas.  
Why Don’t You Post Your System on Your Profile?
@buckhorn_cortez  I think you are mis-interpreting (at least sincere Audiogoners) the wish that everyone would post their gear. Its not who has the loudest exhaust at Cars & Coffee, its about learning everyone's journey and perhaps learning/i... 
HELP ... What NEW tubes would you select for a Manley Stingray?
Either buy direct from Manley, Upscale or perhaps Watford Valves(Jeff Day likes these tubes fwiw). https://www.watfordvalves.com/product_detail.asp?id=879   A note of caution: 7189's can be used in an el84 amp, el84's can NOT be used in an amp ...
