A double bass is the best instrument to pair with vocals
If forced to choose one today it's piano. Tomorrow who knows!  
Vintage tube sound from a modern amp
Quicksilver amps are wired point to point, but they aren't as pretty as Toolbox. Aric Audio amps are wired point to point. Aric will customize to the specs desired also.  
speakers/ amps liking one another
The weak spot is the small square room. If it were me I would take measurements, treat the room,then decide on components. My room is slightly larger and also square, so I can relate to the struggle.  
Anyone heard new Zu Union 6?
@kray  beautiful setup! I probably wouldn't have struggled so much if I'd gone for the dirty weekends, but it's been so worth it.@whoopycat that's the way it goes sometimes.Your comparisons are very informative.  
What is the forums opinion of SVS subs?
I never owned REL. I have one SVS  purchased to add to the existing two HSUs already in the system. If the HSUs ever fail I would definitely go for SVS as replacements.I love that app.Adjusting all of the settings from my listening chair is great.  
Three videos: SET amps, Chesky, Gould
I watched the SET video. Those giant tubes!Thanks for posting, it was very interesting.  
Anyone heard new Zu Union 6?
Reading through kray's Union6  experience with interest. I have the Omen Defs and have similar experiences regarding how sensitive they are to equipment and wire changes. To me it has been well worth the experimentation to find the perfect symmetr... 
How far and wide? NSMT speaker placement
I can relate. My room is about the worst shape possible 16x16.5 :-( Monitors do a better job of soundstage depth in this room, but at present I have a pair of too large Zu Omen Defs. Wide but shallow stage nowadays. But I really really like the so... 
Need recommendation similar to my Black Cat Cables

Linlai E 6sn7 tubes
Quick and last update. A couple of days ago I gave up the sweet spot to my brother who was visiting for the day and wanted to spend some time listening. While seated off to the side the music was virtually close to perfect to me.Face Palm.I toed t... 
Has anyone gone from Tannoy to Zu Audio?
I moved from Harbeths to Zus.The Harbeths were smooth as silk but left me craving dynamics. Now I've got 'em :-) They can sound harsh until you find the perfect position for them. It took me literally weeks to get them exactly right.I loved the li... 
Linlai E 6sn7 tubes
@markusthenaimnut  these are the best 6sn7 tubes I've tried so far,though I haven't experienced as many brands as some others here.Sylvanias(better than JJs have "soul" and nice tone,a good intro to NOS), GE( great mids and bass,but rolled off hig... 
Preamps can color sound considerably. Surprising?
+1 tablejockey. Choose the one that compliments the other colors.  
need a new IC cable ( rca )
Audio Envy is a nice quiet, very slightly warm cable.They have a trial period if you don't care for it.  
Bragging rights.....
Good for you @mapman !I would like to go simpler also,but our WIFI here is not reliable enough to go that route. Enjoy:-)
