SET Shootout China VS The USA
@mozartfan One of your main problems here is you're paying attention to tube type and not much else. Look at Charles list above especially output transformers which really make or break a tube amp's quality. Parts matter it's why generally tube am... 
Way above my pay grade, Sound waves no longer transverse or perpendicular?
The scientists  created transverse sound waves they didn't observe them in nature. So it could be an interesting basis for future research or possibly not. Finding that behavior in nature would have been an amazing discovery but it's still very cl... 
Newbie Power Amp HELP! (BAT) VK200 Power Amp

Insightful article by Roger Skoff "Paying For Nothing"
@tomic601 you are officially the Audiogon transmogrification bot! And nice article @jerryg123 I was reading it earlier today, everything does indeed matter whether MC said it first or not. 🤣 I am not a bot, as far as you know.  
Nice upgrade to Hales T5’s
Hales talk about old school speakers sounds like you really like them and have put effort into getting them sounding their best. Maybe be happy with what you have? Great system btw. And @m-db great find who knew Paul Hales was still in the business!

SET Shootout China VS The USA
@larryi I'm jealous of all the amps you've heard and own! I  also never knew there was a 349 tube until your last post. I've heard a pushpull 45 amp sounding great as well as my own pushpull 2a3 amp, also loved a Cary pushpull 2a3 integrated I was... 
Should We Prioritize Detail In Our Assessment Of Audio Quality?
I was telling someone recently about being loaned a pushpull 45 amp a few years ago. A pretty great sounding amp but with my speakers at the time the level of detail was annoying. So yes detail is important but too much of any one spectrum of soun... 
Finally had my amp repaired ; I should have done it sooner; met a great tech........
Always great to find a competent tech congrats on that and your newly repaired amp!  
RIP oregonpapa
What awful news indeed Frank was a very valued member of this forum and always had a sense of humor. RIP Frank you will be missed.

Nice setup Jerry and two excellent speakers for sure!
