Why the cost increase?
We've got some really dangerous people lurking here with an agenda other than audio.Why would you say that? Just because people don't agree with you they are dangerous and have an agenda. 
So damn hard deciding which tube preamp to buy!
Speakers 90%++ of the sound ina systemthe other less than 10% is split between DAC/CDP /Line Stage/ Amplificatrion.I had a setup I couldn't even listen to until I put a better preamp in the chain, now it's sounds incredible. 
Why the cost increase?
Think Covid , worker shortage , driver shortage , import taxes ,forest fires , material shotages .Why do we have a worker shortage, and driver shortage? Where did all these workers and drivers go?

The cayin will perform equally as good as any preamp,, for alot lotTTTT less cashHave you compared the Cayin to every preamp? There is always something better. 
Why the cost increase?
You really think a universal health care system is a good idea, the government never runs anything right. Healthcare would not be free, it would probably cost even more than it does now. 
Best kept secret in AC line filtering conditioning
Cleeds I think you have it backwards, the wattage would be the same in either voltage, but the current draw would be twice as much at 120 volts as opposed to 240 volts. For  Example  10 amps × 120 volts=1200 watts 5amps×240 volts=1200 watts 
Why have capacitors improved so much over the years?
 rather then risk the problems with high maintenance mercury vapor diodes and the isolation transformers for their cathodes that have to be pre-heated and could short circuit.Have you ever used Mercury vapor Diodes? I don't seem to have any proble... 
Bass sensation like a loud car system in home?
Get a rotary subwoofer and use it conjunction with a regular subwoofer

Welcome to the 21st century. You have actually admitted to what most people already know but still do not quite want to admit. Vinyl is good. Was good. But it is primitive, limited in bandwidth and limited in dynamics. Regardless of the recent sal... 
How To Do You Measure the Quality of Your AC Power?
The utility company in my area uses higher gauge wire than what is used for the service feeder. I guess they don't have to worry about the wire getting hot because it's in open air. 
How To Do You Measure the Quality of Your AC Power?
I could never figure out why the load on the two legs has to be balanced, do your electric devices all turn on and off at the same time? There is always going to be an imbalance. 
The best room upgrade: $2250
spray foamSpray foam has a great R-value, but I would only  recommend it in conjunction with good ventilation. I see vaulted ceilings filled up to the roof decking with spray foam and condensation ruins the roof decking. 
Quantum Science Audio Thread
I guess there is no difference in capacitors or resistors either as long as they measure the same no difference. John curl might have something to say about that.
