Listening
Since relocating my system to a dedicated room the only thing I do when music is playing is to listen.  It wasn't always that way, and sometimes I wish it was like it was before.    
Changing the 6550 power tube in a Audio Research Ref 6SE Preamp
I've never had a preamp that used a 6550, but in the past I have ran with a couple of 6550 based amps and I rolled a couple of different brands.  I would think that there are better sounding 6550s than Sovtek (although Sovtek was one I never did t...

What would you save in a fire?
I figured lead acid... . . . or bad acid. You guys run on lithium? "I’m so happy ’cause today I found my friends They’re in my head I’m so ugly, that’s okay, ’cause so are you Broke our mirrors Sunday morning is everyday, for all I care And... 
Would I be wasting my money to get a turntable?
Well, @grislybutter , if you are going to twist my arm and insist that I use your credit card(s) and/or debit card I guess I can see my way clear and consider myself up for our shopping trip.  Are you going to also front me a few k so I can stock ... 
Would I be wasting my money to get a turntable?
Thanks for the info on that, @sls883 .  I had no idea that there was that much to it.  I just kind of thought that you popped one cartridge  out and then snapped the new one in. As I typed previously, this thread is making me feel better about no... 
Who is Roon?
I know it’s only January, but I nominate this one for thread of the year….. @ozzy62 , would that award be applicable for the entire A'gon collection of discussions, or would it only apply to the subsection of cryptic threads that have nothing t... 
Would I be wasting my money to get a turntable?
Thanks for the visual and a good laugh, @grislybutter .  
Should I buy a seperate dac?

HAVE CABLES EVER TAKEN YOUR SYSTEM FROM SOUNDING JUST OK TO SOUNDING GREAT? Experiences ?
The cable upgrades I have made in my life were: from the stuff that came with a rack system to Monster (I din't notice any improvement, but that does not mean that there was none) then from Monster to RCA  Kimber PBJ (hard to say what the improv... 
Would I be wasting my money to get a turntable?
 I’d get one with a cartridge unless you or a friend can install the cartridge. @sls883 , is a cartridge that hard to install?  This is a serious question, as I have not owned a TT and played LPs since '82.   (Following this thread is making m...
