Favorite music list in order
I love blues.Any music with a bluesy feeling gets my attention.I enjoy other genres too in small doses.Maybe an entire evening of jazz,world music, or even country sometimes. 
Let's roll: what pre-amp tubes should I consider next?
The Pvane 12AX7 tubes in my cdp are just right (for that application).Clean and clear but not harsh. 
Blind fold hearing test
No way!Maybe type of speaker or amp but not specific brands.

@jmolsberg I went ahead and swapped in the Sofias in the MZ2 last evening after reluctantly putting the Sylvania back in the driver socket of the amp.In that configuration the sound took a giant leap forward that caught me totally by surprise.I pu...

jmolsberg I am using Sylvania 12AT7 and the original Tung Sol SN7.I think the Sofias would sound excellent in the M2 but it's working so well in the amp that I have no desire to try them now.But I will give it a try anyway this weekend just to sat...

Tone, Tone, Tone !

Mine is named Aric because every few days I'm always changing something on the Aric Audio amp.Switching out tubes,tweaking the gain or feedback,or something. "What can we try differently today Aric?" Audio geek fun:)

Serious turntable popping problem finally solved!!

Audioquest question
Get different cables. 
Tekton or Klipsch
If it were me I would pair two subwoofers with your Kefs and see what you think then.If you're not happy with that set up send the subs back.If you want to try that,SVS subs are discounted if you buy two.No I'm not a shill,lol!I'm very happy with ... 
The omitted link, how important is it in the total R.O.I?
My living room is set up to enhance the SQ instead of fighting it.Room treatments can be attractive and fit in with any decor.I've got a couple of panels that are not aesthetically pleasing where they are placed,but they are easily stored away whe... 
Question For My Electrical Expert Friends
An not plug your amp into a small power conditioner with a longer cord that will reach the outlet?Perhaps a Furman?
