Don’t look for perfection.
I have a tendency to immediately dismiss a record if I hear a flaw, Your standards are higher than mine.  I respect you for that.  
I Don't Understand What Determines When A Thread Gets The Axe
Alan Parsons Project got a thread killed?  Seriously?  I could understand it if it was REO. . . .  
Are there other people like me ? Amazed by their low cost system :)
Went through a few posts here and the only conclusion I came to is that you are offended by whatever words others choose. +1 @milpai  .  
Audio Research Replacement Tubes
I have always noted that when my output tubes were getting tired or sick I would start getting goofy bias readings.  
Handling Heavy Amps
I believe that Cary listed my V 12 to be eighty pounds and change. I bought it in ’01 when I was 41 and in great shape. I actually had to climb up a few steps on a ladder to put it where I had it at the time.  The last time I had to move it from t... 
Why do some amplifiers throw a bigger soundstage than others?
there are resonances occurring in the system that are causing an effect of reverberation. Examples include feedback That seems plausible.

What means a Rhetorical question for you ? A question that you already have answered in your own mind.  A question that no other answers will make any difference to you.  
Why do some amplifiers throw a bigger soundstage than others?
Back in the late ’90s a dealer let me take home a Mesa Baron for the weekend. I was immediately intrigued and impressed by how up front and close the soundstage was (particularly the vocalist) and how it filled the room to an extent I had never e...

After reading the OP and the replies to the OP and then the OP's response to the replies, I guess this was only a rhetorical question? Am i deaf? Am i ignorant of high end ?    
How does a preamp die from sitting unused for a few months?
+1 @gs5556  .  Always ohm the fuse out.  
Clean power and it's affect on sound quality
Why not add some LSD to that coffee also? The OP will be able to see the sound as well as hear it! No need for a pricey TV or premature depletion of those solar batteries... @ellajeanelle  , now you're talking!  Count me in--I'm on board!  
Flexible Power Cords
@jmalen123  , I just took a look on Audio Envy's site and I was wondering which power cables you have.  Also, Audio Envy does not say anything about being shielded, so I assume that they are not?  
Records and CDs
I have fond memories from back in the late '70s and early '80s of a bunch of us getting together at someone's apartment or trailer and spinning LPs all day and all night and using the the album covers that folded open like a book to clean the seed... 
I Don't Understand What Determines When A Thread Gets The Axe
@allenf1963 , at the risk of further antagonizing @dill , I will only say that after reading what you wrote about the development of the Plott Hound, I am surprised that "the brown dog" (Boxer/Plott mix) only weighs in at 35 lb.s! Getting back to... 
6N8S 6SN7 6Н8С tubes?
. . . @ellajeanelle  , I just did a bit more surfing on ebay and there are actually similar listings . . .; they are quite affordable--I assume that means that they are not highly sought after and probably not all that great?
