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?

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    
What does the "high gain" option refer to when buying preamp tubes
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...

@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
@yogiboy  , thank you. But in that case do you know what Tube Depot is referring to with that option that they want $2 extra a tube for?    
HAVE YOU ARRIVED AT YOUR FINAL SYSTEM AND WHAT’S IN IT? WHAT ARTIST IS YOUR GO TO?
I am afraid that I done, not because I have achieved what I want, but because I am now on a fixed income which does not allow me the luxury to upgrade the way I used to when I was gainfully employed. I would like to add vinyl, bit I probably neve...
