Has anyone heard Fink Team KIM speakers?
That's a very interesting design though I wouldn't call that a mini-monitor! Very insensitive though what amp was driving them? And did you like them? 
Another great gone, this time its Charlie Watts
Way too young and so sad RIP Charlie. 
VTL 300 Deluxe monoblocks
Ben Jacoby is a great call as is Peter, also in the other direction down here in DC Deja Vu Audio does great work on tube gear. 
What do "audiophiles" use to judge equipment?
I've been fortunate to find a good dealer who's tastes mirror mine and I always trust my ears and my dealers advice.

Why the cost increase?
Sorry to hear about anyone's health issues just further evidence how badly universal healthcare is needed and how much good it will do both physically and mentally. 
Audio deals you bought that seem impossible for the price?

Why the cost increase?
Folks you can't have it both ways if you want people to make a decent wage and work and support their families than you will have to pay more for products to support that. That being said the bulk of todays inflation is due to shipping and contain... 
Why the cost increase?
So the fact that the effects of global warming are happening but didn't happen 7 years ago is funny? Seriously wake up dude warning signs are everywhere you look. 
Why the cost increase?
The fact that people are still blind enough to find that funny is truly remarkable. 
Cary V-12 using KT-77 tubes?
I love the Gold Lion KT77 in my opinion the best current production EL34 variant and I've tried quite a few. 
Has anyone ever used a company called vacuum tube values to purchase vacuum tubes?
I love the Genalex KT77 tube but I will say when I first discovered them I was buying them wherever it was cheapest and had a lot of early tube failures. I started buying them from Upscale Audio paying a bit more and no more early tube failures. 
Anyone with Reavon experience?
