Balanced a good decision. Why?
Does audio research follow the AES 48 balanced standard, I don't think they have in the past.  
5AR4 rectifier tube question
How much money do these mainstream rectifier tubes cost currently? I got off this train about 3 years ago when I bought a separate power supply with two 2.5 volt rectifier tubes that crushed all of these mainstream rectifier tubes for about $10-20... 
Acoustic treatment and acoustic mechanical control over gear upgrade for improvement
One of the best listening experiences I had was in a large room without room treatments.  The size of that room and the fact he was using apogee diva speakers set up properly had a lot to do with the great sound, would have been better with room t... 
Dipole speakers, subwoofers and that rear wall
I have my apogee duetta 2's away from the wall 7' I believe even further from the wall would be better if possible.

Look how amir measured the magnepan LRS, not very scientific.  
Thermal Distortion your loudspeaker most likely suffers from it. But do you care?
what about low efficiency planar speakers like apogee scintilla, it seems like they would dissipate heat better.  
McIntosh -- good for show, not for sound, says dealer
I'm surprised people didn't get this upset when a member on this forum said pass labs amps were midfi.  
Amir and Blind Testing
Tube equipment has a very distinctive sound due to distortion.     Tubes devices are also more linear than solid state devices without the use of feedback, Which also could have something to do with the way they sound.  
Current Questions
Technically speaking no amp can really double it's power when resistance is halved, the manufacturer underrates the 8 ohm power output to come up with that figure.   
Linlai E 6sn7 tubes
Is the Linlai 6sl7 already available?  
Amir and Blind Testing
I'm sure a lot of the equipment that audio science review gives great reviews for is the same stuff Amir sells at Madrona Digital.

So you are against the idea of searching for a better and more reliable understanding of what we are hearing? That sounds like flat-out anti-science.   I'm actually agreeing with audio precision, but some measurement types seem to think we al... 
Amir and Blind Testing
I'm ready glad that audio precision doesn't think like the objectivists on this forum, they actually think there is more or better measurements that can be performed in the future to better understand what we are hearing.

Okay sorry  
Electric cars will ruin late night listening?
Cheaper than gas, without any road taxes, plus all the plastic that is needed for the manufacture of electric vehicles will go up considerably when they are mainstream, not to mention how much it will cost to mine the commodities to produce them.
