| Problem related to Push-Pull or EL34? @simna Yes he answered my email this was some time ago maybe about 4-5 years ago. I have since changed my email and don’t have the correspondence any longer but it was the Tube Technology contact email; contact@tubetechnology.co.uk so I don’t know... | |
| Problem related to Push-Pull or EL34? Oh ok I saw their website was still up but hard to tell if they were still in business. Are you in the US or elsewhere? If you are in the US, or even not, perhaps try reaching out to Zia Faruqui through Manley? I corresponded with him once years b... | |
| Which EL34 is your favorite and why? Genalex Gold Lion KT77 reproductions are to me hands down the best sounding current production EL34 type. The tube is a drop in replacement for EL34's in most but not all amps so double check with LM. | |
| Personal vs. Market Values Truffle oil is for drizzling and finishing not for cooking. I am a bit surprised you can't taste it the flavor is very strong and distinct. Have you ever tried it just on its own to get an idea what it tastes like? | |

| Tidal Hifi has a very limited jazz selection Tidal has an excellent jazz collection not as big as Spotify but still large and varied. I cannot listen to Spotify the quality is just too poor. | |
| Amp for SF Amati Homage? Rogue Zeus or 180, Jadis Defy 7, Quicksilver 88 or 90 or M-135 If you can stretch your budget a little bit this would work nicely:https://www.audiogon.com/listings/lis95fh7-air-tight-atm-2-classic-tubeA really nice 80 watt $18,000 amp for $4950.

| Streamer Advice: Bluesound Node 2 vs Aries Mini vs Oppo Auralic stopped making the Aries Mini so if you want one you will have to find one used, and they almost never come up. I've never heard the Node but many here seem to like it and it does all the same things the Mini does in terms of functionality. | |
| News: Qobuz Hi-Res platform's debut is scheduled for this October. See Qobuz Links below So it looks like Qobuz will be at Capitol AudioFest I will be there Saturday and will be sure to stop by and ask some questions. | |

| What is wrong with Audiogon Forums? Yes the @ function won't work for me but after an email exchange with Tammy we decided it was a Firefox issue not Audiogon. The recent glitches are highly annoying. |
