Chinese fake cables How fake, how good?
I know its old news by now, but it’s a pet peeve.  I think the adjective fake or counterfeit should be included in their naming convention whenever discussing these cables. Calling the above cables by the name of the product they have counterfeit... 
Tuneful Cables by High-End Audio
@lubachl  There is a huge A'gon discussion of the Chinese cables for sale at Aliexpress.  It is recent and there is a wealth of information on the counterfeit Nordhost cables, including the Odins.  
Tube microphonics
My experience echoes Mulveling's Never had a power tube be microphonic in the slightest.  
Tube microphonics
Edit-It's a free exercise to move them, so try it. Agree 100% in general, and while OP carried them up a flight of stairs, they do weigh 170 lbs each.  And I am pretty sure the more delicate tubes weren't in them as they are now.     
Tube microphonics
@tattooedtrackman  I know this is kind of backwoods, but then again I live in Vermont. If I had your beautiful setup, here is what I would do before moving your heavy amps around.  @jjss49 if you think this is a bad idea please chime in. With y... 
Project CD Box RS2T and reclocker
@thyname  Are you sure about this? On reclocking. USB yes, things like S/PDIF or Toslink, certainly not.  You are all more aware of the technology of these units, but from the description of my ancient (but modded) Museatex Meilor Bitstream DA...

@teh_chucksta  Another thing that made a nice difference, if you are wired to your modem/router, is this from eBay (he sells all lengths):   Supra CAT 8+ ETHERNET cable 2-meter Made In Sweden THE BEST FOR NETWORK AUDIO  $64.00  Free shipping se... 
Why Don’t You Post Your System on Your Profile?
Although this thread has been a bit of a train wreck, I did learn two things. The first is that it appears the reason I have had zero issues with this website is that I am using a PC with windows 10 and Edge. The second is that virtually all of ... 
Dynaco PAT 4 Pre-Amp ....Why is it Bashed??
I am tempted to buy a Dynaco PAS3 and ST70 built by Kenny Russell.  Kenny's units are beautifully built and to the extent you can tell via computer, sound great.  Check out Kenny's webpage at: GetDynaco.com  . This reviewer is very low key and I ...

Good to hear, I am sure you will be happy with them.

@nonoise  You know you're not winning over anyone with your antics or making that many friends +1      
Chord Qutest——>No difference
@teh_chucksta  I am sure that the digital cable that milo0812 recommends is fantastic. Another option is the Cullen 2 Meter Nitin Digital Cable ($77) which I use between my Node 2i and DAC.  I can easily hear the difference between the 2is built...

Where to insert tubes while running a Luxman SS integrated
I guess it goes without saying that you cannot achieve the sound you want using the Luxman's excellent tone controls?  
Is My Tube Amp Unfixable? Help Needed
Again, waiting for Ralph.  But along the lines of @jond's train of thought, I've had more than one tube which did not function correctly, and I VERY slightly and gently bend the pins one way and the other to ensure a solid contact, and it worked e...
