Linlai E 6sn7 tubes
I never could figure out why they are called cv181 when the nos cv181 tubes have a different heater current than a 6sn7 tube.  
Linlai E 6sn7 tubes
@vthokie83  I bought my Linlai elite 6sl7 tubes from the same seller as you. I've had mine a few years, powered on 24/7 most of that time and no problems at all.  
Did anyone else disconnect thier equipment due to the geomagnetic storms?
All my equipment is on 24/7 and most of it is tube equipment.  
Solar flares are here, everyone unplug your dryer!
@mahgister  instead of relying on others why don't you prepare your home for potential power grid meltdown. People lived in cold climates before electricity.  
New expensive power cord for amp and no change in sound?
@bimmerlover I have to question the thinking that it's the last 5 feet, the equipment draws the current, so it's the first 5 feet.  
What if a high end speaker measures really badly?
@helomech  so you believe that Harmon and Toole don't have any bias, after all they are competing in the industry. All the Toole listening test I have read about place one speaker in the same position not taking into account the design of the spea... 
Mobile Fidelity Settlement Update
@texbychoice  it doesn't matter if you think an all analog process is inferior, people should get what was advertised. @secretguy  I don't think anyone should get anything more than their money back if they choose.   
Mobile Fidelity Settlement Update
@texbychoice  so it's okay to lie to your customers,  good to know you wouldn't care if a business lied to you. I don't think people who bought the 1 step albums should get more than their money back including any shipping. Mobile fidelity should ... 
Mobile Fidelity Settlement Update
@texbychoice the process is called 1 step and was supposed to be all analog.  You would be okay with sausage that was advertised to be all pork, but it had 50% turkey in it?  
Tube vs Solid state for Preamp
What is the output impedance of your current tube preamp? This can have an effect on bass performance. I have a tube preamp with single ended outputs with a krell ksa 300s amp, and have great bass performance.  
Krell 350 MCX Coupling Cap Jumpers
You shouldn't need to use the coupling caps on the Krell, as long as you turn the preamp on first and let the filament warm up for about 30 seconds. I used my krell ksa 300s with a tube preamp for many years without any problems.  
Krell 350 MCX Coupling Cap Jumpers
You shouldn't even need to use those if your preamp is working properly and you turn your system on in the proper sequence.  
Ethernet cables
@classicrockfan I have news for you, fluke tested Ethernet cables even from big name cable manufacturers and found that 80% of them didn’t pass specs even though the manufacturers claimed they did.  
Lowend amp
Damping factor has very little to do with bass output. My ksa 300s has a damping factor of 150 and has great bass. It's the size of the power supply that matters most. I doubt you will find anything with a power supply as large as those krell amps.  
Paypal drastic changes
@bubinga  I have no idea what Audiogon does these days.​
