Triode Wire Labs or NRG Custom The Five for my 300b SET tube amp?
@soix oh there's a cut out in the middle. Plus, your bib shorts have the padding so it can move with your body and chafe (which can happen with too much padding on the saddle itself). I've gone 100 miles + in one day with this saddle.

@audiojan Whoa, that's amazing! What do you guys ride? I have the Fezzari Veyo with Ultegra 12-speed di2 and Zipp 303 Firecrest wheels + Garmin Rally RS200 powermeter, Specialized S-Works Romin Evo saddle, and ENVE SES Aero handlebars. They sure a...

@audiojan While I would love to spend $1000+ on a power cable (that Triode Wire Labs Obsession seems amazing, too), I unfortunately have the double trouble of loving two fairly expensive interests with audiophile and road biking (Just bought a $70... 
Triode Wire Labs or NRG Custom The Five for my 300b SET tube amp?
@carlsbad  The Morrow Audio MAP3 is actually much better than the stock cable or a cheap generic cable, I can tell you that much, although it’s not as good as the Audioquest Thunder that I ended up using for the PS Audio Power Plant 3. It’s not a...

@jtcf which TWL cable did you try on your tube amps?  
Triode Wire Labs or NRG Custom The Five for my 300b SET tube amp?
Yeah both cables have been getting high marks, I just wonder how big of a difference they'll be.   
Triode Wire Labs or NRG Custom The Five for my 300b SET tube amp?
I'm not interested in proving they're fake or not. On highly revealing systems I have heard the difference, and I've heard it between two cables on mine (the current Morrow Audio Map3 on the amp and the Audioquest Thunder that ended up on my PS Au... 
2019 300B tubes that are worth the money?
I've had the new Western Electric 300b tubes on my Cayin HA-300 for 6 months, which is just a bit over at $1500, and I think it's worth having. My previous Psvane ACME 300b had one tube that just blew after 1 1/4 years, making it out of warranty. ...

@williewonka oh there are 2 fuses inside the amp too  
Duelund conversion to DIY Helix Geometry Cabling
@williewonka I have been in direct contact with Cayin’s engineer in China, and have even forwarded some of your questions and concerns, too. For example, in regards to the wire wound resistors:" As for your question on the wire-wound resistors suc... 
Duelund conversion to DIY Helix Geometry Cabling
So I actually had the Cayin HA-300 for a year and 5 months, and two months ago, my one of Psvane ACME 300b tube flashed white and resulted in a -20dB drop on my right channel. Turned out it fried a wire-wound resistor. This was the first time I've... 
Duelund conversion to DIY Helix Geometry Cabling
Hmm.... So you think it'll be safe for me to use the Helix cable again on my system. I really would like to think this is a freak coincidence, too.Also got this from Western Electric's email for support and RMA: "Based on the detail you've given u...

Just swapped back to the stock TJ Full Music 300b tubes, and so far, dead quiet. Crossing my fingers that I’ve found the culprit, and that hopefully Western Electric can ship out a replacement. If this noise problem is no more, I’m both relieved a... 
Duelund conversion to DIY Helix Geometry Cabling
The buzz traveled with the we300b tube! I swapped them, and the weird noise traveled to the right channel! On both the headphone and speaker, the noise is now on the right channel, not left! Next thing I'll have to do is take the WE300b out comp...

And if anything, the "buzz" kinda sounds like a mix of air out of a balloon and static noise.   Consequently, that's also the channel that had the scruffy noises several weeks ago, but went away.
