Jay's "Ugly Truth" video
I saw that one - I occasionally enjoy his vids and seeing that gear, I just pick and choose what I'm interested in...

@nonoise - 🤣 Meerkat!   
Is Rap a valid musical form?

You’re An Independent Dealer, Which Companies And What Products Would You Represent?
@mbmi - good brands all, though Buchardt just sells direct, so I don't think you'd be stocking his speakers! 😊  
Best set-up under $20K
Are you looking for floor-standers or stand-mounts?   
WHY DO PEOPLE FEEL THE NEED TO COMMENT ON CABLES AND EQUIPMENT THEY HAVE NEVER HEARD?
He might want to check out Steve Gutenberg's 'Viewer System of the Day' vids on YouTube to see other people's setups....

"The Night They Drove Old Dixie Down".
@thecarpathian - 😄  That Australian YouTube guy Lachlan often wears a t-shirt that says, "Surely not EVERYBODY was kung-fu fighting."  
Why Can't Modern Tube Manufacturers Make a Proper Tube?
I've got contemporary WE 300B's made in Georgia (the state, not the country) - those are awesome tubes that made my amp sound like an upgraded model, if there's been one. Expensive indeed, but worth it if it's what you like.   
Integrated amplifier for Fritz Speakers
@erik_squires - That's interesting to hear! In my space with my gear, they're quite the opposite. Those Carrera's rock in my acoustically dead living room, and with the right source and gear, they will shake the floor even at moderate volume. I dr...
