Gk I bet I  know what you hear much better than you know what I hear.You're reading comprehension is grade school level.  Is your hearing totally  shot too?   Playing that Walkman too loud?

1. Do you think designer fuses are A) a Gift to audiophiles, or B) Snake Oil answer: c) somewhere in the middle. Expensive to be called a gift. Also it is not even of any value to talk in general  about sound quality of  "designer" fuses. That mea...

Does anyone leave their amp and preamp on all the time?

fsonicsmith,Take it from one with much experience. Don’t bother responding to Geoffkait if you want to actually get anywhere. Everything is a joke to him. He is like the pied piper of Audiogon. You will get nowhere with him. He might humor you fro... 
German Physiks - Listening Impressions Wanted
Phusis there are some tube amps I like and others I find too limited. The ones I like tend to be able to do well with electronic as well as acoustic music. Of course I could say the same about SS amps. I do use a tube pre-amp (Audio Research sp16)...
