Perhaps this is becoming a case of trolls meet gnomes?😉 
Am I an Audiophile, a music lover-or both?
@rvpiano   Which performance of Shosty's 5th are you referring to? 
My speaker quest
@roberjerman   IYHO. 
Opening a can of worms
Where to begin? 1.  Tin clad copper?  Yigads!   2.  Yes the better the quality of the conductor AND the dielectric mated to high quality connectors and guess what?  High quality, high functioning cables.  3.  Spending ungodly sums on cables relati... 
Clear Day Cables Surgery Update
It's great to hear from you, Paul!  Your surgery makes my L-5, S-1 fusion sound like child's play.  You have a propensity to overdo in the exercise realm.  I suffer from the same.  Since my total knee replacement in February, I have finally had to... 
Best PLace To Buy Chinese Tubes?
Nor can you prove that cryogenically treated tubes don't last longer and offer enhanced sound quality.😉

Ayre KX-R or PS Audio BHK Pre
It is very rare to hear of any complaints from Ayre owners.  Good Luck! 
Am I an Audiophile, a music lover-or both?
@whart   Right you are!  My latest music purchase was a Chandos SACD of Szymanowski's symphonic works. Up till the arrival of this disc a few days ago, I had never heard any of his works.  But I want to keep stretching the eclectic nature of what ... 
Power Conditioner Advice please...
@soma70   I look forward to hearing about your experience with the Dectet.  What power cords did you order? 
Best PLace To Buy Chinese Tubes?
I would suggest going to the link below and buy two matched pairs.  I have never been disappointed by any tubes sourced from Cryoset.  I have tried Psvanes in the not to distant past but they got noisy after a half year or so in circuit.http://www... 
Am I an Audiophile, a music lover-or both?
I'm wondering as I read this discussion how many of us have listened to a particular recording and been unimpressed by it only to listen to the exact same recording another time and really enjoy it?I had a rather dramatic example of this recently ...
