PSVANE Discussion & Impressions Thread
I had purchased several pairs of Psvane 12ax7-TII from Grant Fidelity with excellent results. So much so when the Psvane 12ax7 art series came out I ordered 6 from Viva tubes. My preamp uses 4 and I ordered 2 extra. Within 6 months all of the tub... 
Gold Lion AX7 in tube preamp
I have purchased a number of new tubes, especially 12ax7, 5751, el34 and kt77 and have to say that by the end of the listening session they were pretty much sounding as they were going to. Once purchased a set of relatively inexpensive 12ax7s bas... 
Ebay selling my missing amplifier
+1 abnerjack, that is amazing. I probably wouldn’t do it, but I wonder what would happen if you bought it and then reversed your payment saying you discovered it was your missing amplifier.  
All Hail the meek --yet mighty – NODE 2i
Owner of a node 2i here.  Word on the street is that people are dumping their Aurenders and Wadaxs to purchase nodes.    
Sonus Faber Amati vs. Wilson Sasha V (and perhaps vs. Focal n3)
During my extended audition of the Sonus Faber Liliums the dealer had them powered by the McIntosh Mc451 dual mono monoblock amps.  Sounded fantastic with top tier MSB Dac and I believe MSB preamp. The reviews I read/viewed often have them powered...

All Hail the meek --yet mighty – NODE 2i

+1 philjolet  very nice sounding cables but too rolled of in the high end for me.    
No discussion about the Synergistic Pink fuse?
No discussion about the Synergistic Pink fuse? I think many potential fuse purchasers, after replacing their fuses 4 or 5 times for each new fuse color, are waiting for the red, black, blue, purple, orange and pink striped politically correct i... 
Do NOS Mullard EL34 tubes last much longer than NOS SED (Svetlana) EL34 ?
I have used mullard xf2s, wing Cs, JJs, and a few others.  Then I found Gold Lion KT77s from upscale audio was the right choice for sound, reliability and price.    
Do NOS Mullard EL34 tubes last much longer than NOS SED (Svetlana) EL34 ?
@inna  Good to hear from you!  
The new Coda S5.5 amplifier: It's a "Petite Beast"!
@firefly627s  Thanks for your well thought out explanation, it helps me to understand manufacturer thought processes rating amps. My rather limited understanding of amp watt ratings was that a true class A amp would run in class A at all impedan... 
The new Coda S5.5 amplifier: It's a "Petite Beast"!
Color me confused? I have never had a class a amp.  I had the Parasound A21+ which was class A up to a certain point and then switched to AB. But if I was going to buy a class A amp and was interested in its power rating (not including current) ...
