Shootout of Nos 6sn7 tubes
Interesting thread!I recently found a seller on Esty and ordered a few GE,Tung Sol,RCA to try for the input tube in my amp.All short bottles, black plates,black bases.Those RCAs are really dynamic with excellent textured bass.A nice surprise:-)The...

Very funny!Thank you for the laugh:-) 
Why don’t tube amps sound like tubes anymore?
The short answer is it's the new production tubes that are the culprit.IMHO NOS tubes in front along with new production tubes for the output are the best of both worlds:-) 
How many NICE looking high end floor standing speaker are there at present
Daedalus and Omega Audio have attractive cabinetry 
Covering a TV behind your speakers?
Any flat surface no matter what it's composition will reflect sound.Experimenting with a few Rockwool panels from Home Depot is an inexpensive way to figure out what you need and where.Then decide to diy or go with professionally made treatments.

Another sad tale, hopefully Ian can make plans and peace with the world
I suffer from COPD also and it is incurable but it can be slowed down and treated with medication.And slaw is correct - covid19,flu,even severe colds are extremely dangerous for those of us with lungs that are only partially functional.I'm a huge ... 
Review: Fritz Heiler’s Carbon 7 SE Mk 2 bookshelf speakers
Really nice review,thank you!I'll be interested in reading about the Carbon6 also.I'm fighting upgradeitis now.I promised myself I was done.Dang! 
Analysis Plus Silver Apex Speaker cable
I agree with Decooney.I have AP speaker cables also and they take a very long time to settle in.In the past if I didn't like a cable after 25-50 hrs I gave up and moved on.These things are completely different and were worth the wait.Hopefully the... 
Sofia Electric Blue 6SN7
An update about these tubes after almost a year of daily use:They seem to have lost the beautiful tone I was so thrilled with initially.The vocals especially became increasingly harsh.Of course I didn't suspect the Sofias and began switching out o...
