Help me spend $100,000 on a new system
Sorry, @hilde45  ,  that was just airline industry talk and I didn't mean anything by it.  That's just what we always called it (like LaGaurdia was "LaGarbage", and so on) and it just got to where it was second nature without even thinking about i... 
WHY IS THERE SO MUCH HATE FOR THE HIGH END GEAR ON AUDIO GEAR?
Wow this thread went down the toilet.  @jacobsdad2000  , I am having a flashback from the audio asylum days.  It is not a good trip that I am experiencing.

Sounds like you are already listening to some pretty kick-ass stuff. Stuff, anyway, that would kick my stuff’s ass. I always thought that if I had a lot of disposeable cash to play with I’d want to get into some of Cary’s SET stuff. Back in the e... 
6sn7 to 6922 adapter: good idea or bad idea?
Maybe they don't know... @atmasphere  ,  I don't think that speaks well for them either.  
6sn7 to 6922 adapter: good idea or bad idea?

6sn7 to 6922 adapter: good idea or bad idea?

6sn7 to 6922 adapter: good idea or bad idea?
Thanks @dekay  , I just double posted on misc as I was hoping to beat the end of tube depot's sale, but with what you just told me, I won't be in a rush and will error on the side of trying to do no harm. I am not tech minded at all, and I will e... 
6sn7 to 6922 adapter: good idea or bad idea?
Since I am not sure if I am allowed to post the listing, I will do it on a separate post, but here is what the adapters look like: https://tubedepot.com/products/6sn7-to-6922-adapter

Just to follow up on this, I emailed tubedepot and asked them what they meant.  The responded: The "high gain" option is an additional test that ensures you received the tube with the highest gain that we have available, meaning less early break... 
What does the "high gain" option refer to when buying preamp tubes
@yogiboy  , thank you.  Just before you responded I did send them an email.  If they do not respond tomorrow early enough, I will call them before their sale ends.  
What does the "high gain" option refer to when buying preamp tubes
@designsfx  , thank you again, and with that explanation in mind, I emailed tubedepot with the exact same question, which is something I could have just as easily done before, but didn't think of it.  Part of the aging process I guess.  
What does the "high gain" option refer to when buying preamp tubes
@designsfx  , thank you!  Since I feel I have too much gain, the "high gain" option would probably be what I would be looking for.  Thanks again.  
What does the "high gain" option refer to when buying preamp tubes
