@lemonhaze he will not. He will continue to go through life making fun of people, because since he can’t argue with facts, his only way to feel important and superior is degrading people, calling autistic people ass burgers, and making fun of any... 
I am enjoying my analog system, but what can I do to improve?
So, it looks like the consensus is to get better analog components. @stereo_gen also makes a good point. My system current sounds good and could live with it. And from your opening thread: My system sounds great, but I am wondering how I can ...

@feldmen4 Thanks for the gentlemanly apology Matt, but I took no (zero) offence. And your expertise in the field is seeming more helpful than not..   @bossa "My frost knee jerk..." I guess auto correct is warning me to wait … I was thinking...

Choice between two different integrated tube amps (SET & PP)
Anybody have experience with either?  Have read great reviews of each of them.  Seriously? Have we ever seen bad reviews? 😁 I got the PrimaLuna Dialogue Premium HP, used, from a friend who I have gotten other amps from. It seems a bit light on...

I would open them up and let them acclimate for 3+ days (mainly because of moisture). My frost knee jerk at the title was just give em hell. But then thought about moisture. So I agree with with @dekay (and the others to wait) But if it is sp...
