Biwiring make any sense?
Maybe it has something to do with fields generated by different frequencies over a longer distance, which are usually 6-8' .  
Crucial TUBE question
If it was just amount of HV, then why does the sound change even if go from 2 866a tubes to 2 3B28 tubes, same voltage drop. I don’t think voltage drop is a problem in a preamp or Dac, the drop in voltage of an 5ar4 is 17 volts, but that’s not goi... 
Crucial TUBE question
Yes, called super rectifier, they do make a huge difference for some reasons I understand and some I don't.  
Crucial TUBE question
@dogearedaudio the unit I'm talking about has 2 half-wave rectifier tubes, but the small manufacturer does state that if using a power tubes as rectifiers, you should only use for preamp, dac or low powered set amp. I'm sure there isn't going to b... 
Crucial TUBE question

A properly designed SMPS may have lower noise than a linear supply, but how much noise do they radiate to other equipment?  
DC Offset Issue in Don Sachs Preamp
The only cv181 tubes that have a higher heater current are the nos tubes, the newer production cv181 tubes are identical to the 6sn7.  
Looking at these specific preamps give me your opinions
@willywonka that can happen even with larger companies, look at Krell right now.  
Toe in is crucial
@sounds_real_audio  It can also depend on the design of the speakers, my apogee duetta 2 speakers sound best without any toe in.  
Amplifier Power tubes - important to sound?
I'm sure Jesse does. This is the greatest place to buy tubes in the entire whole wide world. I sure he's good, but unless he knows what gear you are using, how does he know what the tubes will be operating at?   
Amplifier Power tubes - important to sound?
Do any tube sellers match tubes at real world plate voltage and current under load?  
Audiogon seller's question
@vair68robert  why would anyone want a corporation to pay more, that just means the consumer is going to pay more for the product to cover the tax.
