Why are there so many wooden speakers?
Yay kenjit is back! My speakers use Baltic birch plywood and sound great. I don't want MDF in my system ever again.  
Sophia Electric EL34 or KT88 ??
I looked and can't find the thread I was thinking of but did see a thread where Kevin Deal chimed in and said KT77's are fine so there you go. Give them a try I doubt you'll be disappointed! 
Sophia Electric EL34 or KT88 ??
I love the KT77's too they've been my go to EL34 variant for years now. I may be misremembering but I feel like I suggested the KT77 in a PL thread once and someone said PL amps can't use the KT77? I may be misremembering I'll try and find that th... 
M7 amps no power on
Jeff Rowland is known for excellent customer service I agree with roxy54 give them a call or shoot them an email. 
what happened to Golden Tube?
They pop up on USA Audiomart all the time saw some SE40 monos just the other day with the SonicCraft updates. 
All New Pure Audio ONE Integrated Amp Reviewed!
I really dislike the mesh on the front and agree terrible use of the back panel those rca connectors are too close. But if it sounds good that's really all that matters. 
ls music out of tune with our brains?
The vintage vinyl sample sounds better but that just maybe because it's louder but it certainly sounds full and deeper just a richer sound overall. 
Speakers Decide Which Amp Is Needed, Or A Tale Of Two Amps
Congratulations on getting things figured out and thanks for sharing the process. It sounds like you really took your time and tried to make things work with various gear and also knew when to cut bait and move on. A lot of folks could learn from ... 
Who, do you think, designs the best looking tube-based devices?
I like the way tubes and transformers look! Lots of great looking gear mentioned Air Tight, Shindo, Leben, Atma-sphere, Electronluv, Luxman. I would add Wavac, Kondo, and vintage Marantz. I find stuff like Dared and Raven a touch too blingy for my... 
Harbeth 30.1 or 40.1
That's very funny like @mapman I heard the 40.1s at Deja Vu Audio and Spatial at Cap Audiofest. I heard the 30.2's at both Deja Vu and Cap Audiofest.  I like all 3 speakers actually I thought Spatial Audio with LTA was one of the best rooms at Cap... 
Harbeth 30.1 or 40.1
gte357 to me there is an optimum listening volume for each piece of music not so much for each speaker. To my ears the difference between the two is the 30.1 images a bit more precisely but the images don't have the density of the 40.1. Also you g... 
Harbeth 30.1 or 40.1
To me they are very different speakers I like them both but the 30.1 is a great small monitor speaker. The 40.1 though stand mounted is totally full range you definitely wouldn't need a sub with it. With 30.1's you may not need a sub either unless... 
Acrolink Cables, anyone heard them?
I should say that since this thread has been revived I tried an Acrolink digital cable a 6N-D5050 a couple years ago. I trashed my regular digital IC in an accident and the Acrolink subbed in nicely. Extremely detailed and transparent though it la... 
New Cannonball Adderly recordings ...
I LOVE Cannonball Adderly! This has been streaming on Qobuz for a while now, likely Tidal also it's well worth checking out. 
Which To Choose...Devore Fidelity O/93 vs Zu Soul Supreme ?
Whoopycat nailed it as stated above I'll also add Sean Casey from Zu often uses Pass amps at audio shows and they make a nice combo.
