Selling off Tubes for Solid State, A Cooler Love Story?
@oldschool1948 thanks for the tips adding it to my wishlist.    @mglik AGD is added to my research list.   
Selling off Tubes for Solid State, A Cooler Love Story?
@jjss49 this is the anecdotal information I've been looking for. I have a very inexperienced interaction with anything but tubes so this is exactly what I was hoping for. So essentially I'd be able to lessen the heating of my room which is what I ... 
Selling off Tubes for Solid State, A Cooler Love Story?
@mulveling is the heat output that insufficient from Class A to say Class A/B? I'd imagine the fins on solid state amps tend to hold on to heat rather than dissipating it up into the air/surface. I use a portable air conditioner in the room in the... 
Selling off Tubes for Solid State, A Cooler Love Story?
@jjss49 this is exactly where I am at. Tubes are so fun, but on the power side of things the heat it generates is becoming too much. I would definitely keep my tubes if I wasn't in an upstairs room that gets sun all day.    @yogiboy I'll check o... 
Does Anyone Know What is Up with High Fidelity Cables?
I'm coming up on 3 months for GIK bass traps, ordered back in September. I'm guessing this is the law of the land for the next year of ordering products.   
Where the heck are all these manufacturers coming from!
@oldhvymec I work in the 925 area, I'm going to come see you sometime to check out your green thumb lol.   
Great experience with audio society and local tech
@oldhvymec this is exactly what I've been curious about. Im not sure if I can be dedicated enough to make a meet once a week and a few dealers I've done with in the Bay Area we're completely off-putting, so I could imagine how snoody groups could ... 
Is advice from a constant upgrader to be avoided
I'm an upgrader, but as a newbie I start at cheap or not knowing what in looking for so I buy something. Then I learn about what others like and what I'd like to move up to so I make the move. I'm glad I took the advice of others as my Musical Sur... 
Turntable and cartridge setup known for a marvelous bottom end.
I have personally moved from the Hana EH to the ML and if was a fantastic move. I also just recently moved the the Clearaudio Ovation from my Concept Wood and this was a fantastic move for bass and micro details. I can highly recommend these moves... 
Focal, B&W or Martin Logan
I'm the the opposite position of not having enough room in my room. I run the Sopra 2's in my 9x13 music room. Highly recommend the Sopra's. You won't need to be moving chairs and couches around to enjoy them. Every speaker has it's limitations an... 
PS Audio Stellar Phono
@revdeg now that's a screaming recommendation if I've ever heard one. Also, I'm sure the SE is superior, but that much Superior? To knock a $3k phono off its throne? Now I'm really interested. I'm going on a limb and looking at an Allnic 1205 now... 
Yet Another Post About Power Conditioners!
I'm with @dvddesigner knowing Caelin's background and what he does for the science community as well as their openness to discuss their products should give you comfort. They are far from snake oil and should be the last one on the list of "snake ... 
AnologMagik
I've really been interested in the software, but I can't justify the price. Even the Wally Tools seem extremely expensive, but I am interested. I'm sure it's not cheap to develop the tools and put all those years of knowledge into a product, but m... 
Seeking recommendations about material, design, makers of low-lying rack for gear
I've always been a fan aesthetically of Maple Shade. Check their stuff out if you haven't.  
Tornado and Thunder Power Cables
The AQ thunders are great. I have one on my regenerator and it makes a huge difference. The ones above who think that power cables don't make a difference when you have a "good" power supply, is severely mistaken and hasn't bothered to attempt it ...
