RIP Frank a true audio legend and a boon for less than wealthy audiophiles!  
An enthusiast’s journey to Audio Note UK
Though paragraphs would indeed help nice writeup mojoetoo I have a partial AN system Dac and speakers and love the sound also. And it's great your Soro can hang with level 5 E's such a killer little amp.  
COINCIDENT FRANKENSTEIN 300B STEREO
@mclinnguy Not just break-in but as you discovered tube rolling is crucial especially in an SET amp with a very simple circuit tubes make a huge difference.  
Air Tight 300B Flame Out
Yeah your tube definitely went out that's a bummer luckily WE has a warranty program. And as Jerry says try another tube in that slot to confirm it was the tube not the amp. For Air Tight service try contacting the US importer Axiss:   https://a... 
MissingCDs and records
Hey Rvpiano sorry your hip is making things such a struggle I hope once it's fixed you can get back to fondling your records and CDs.  
Gryphon Diablo 300 to cornwall iv
That is a bit of an unlikely pairing I suspect you won't find anyone who's tried it but no reason it wouldn't work. I love horns too just watch the volume control that's a lot of wattage!

PSVANE Mfg Co replaced my older 6SN7 CV-181 TII tubes

Thickest Power cord with Power distributor?
miracle1980 there's always one thing you can do try it both ways and see which sounds better.  
Linear Power Supply Recommendations!
I used an Sbooster with my Auralic Mini it's built like a tank and was a solid improvement. Not familiar with the Ferrum HYPSOS.  
A great has died
RIP Garth Hudson The Band one of the greatest and most underrated bands in rock history.

Awesome to hear PSvane cares that much about the tubes they make especially since people always put Chinese companies down for after sale service.  
Audible Illusions Modulus 3A noise
Purchase tubes from a reliable seller it will be cheaper and the tubes will be just fine. Personally I'd go for NOS or good older pulls over current production 6922s. JAN/Phillips 6922's are typically a solid value. AI preamps have a ton of gain s... 
Gold Lion KT77 tubes for Primaluna Amp - a few questions
The KT77 will sound much more like an EL34 tube than the KT120 think a touch warmer and richer in the midrange. The Gold Lion KT77 is a fantastic sounding tube in my opinion.  
Streamer + DAC help: Bluesound vs Eversolo (vs Others)
You should absolutely consider Auralic their gear sounds great and is reliable and customer support is excellent. Also their LDS app is excellent and constantly updated.
