@poppin1 I liked the Alpha 2 so much that I sent it back last week to have it upgraded to the Red Wolf. Once I get it back and broken in I will post my impressions. 
Can this be good first tube amplifier?
I have that very amp in my living room system driving a pair of stand mounted Wharfedale M2 speakers. It is used in a second system that I don't use for serious listening. I have had the amp for a few years now and it has been very reliable and co... 
Can anyone help me remove a stuck fuse holder from my tube amp?
I use cotton swabs and tooth picks. Once I get the main body of the blown fuse out I moisten the cotton swap with a little isopropyl alcohol to get any small pieces out. 
Gaia do magic to my speaker
I have a set of the Gaia 1 on order. I had been looking at speaker isolation devices for awhile and after Paul McGowan of PS Audio posted a video from this years RMAF in the Isotek room that was enough to convince to give them a shot.

A DAC that crushes price vs. performance ratio
  I am late to this discussion as I wasn't aware of it until today or I would have joined it much earlier. I may be wrong but I think Teejay is an audiophile first and a critic second. As an audiophile he enjoys sharing his insights on gear that p...

Have you ever changed speakers to expereince a different "soundscape" or presentation??
This past year I have tried to find a speaker that would give me a different sonic presentation from my Martin Logans. Over the last 20 years I have had several pairs of ML's . From the fist time I heard a pair that literally  stopped my in my tra...

Listening to equipment at home before you buy
2tuby I would trust your ears first followed by trying to work with a good audio dealer. Try to borrow the gear you are interested in take it home and listen playing music you know very well. I would start with the speakers first and work from the...
