Your last concert was to see who and when?
I see Uriah Heep is touring smaller venues these days. That could be fun. 
What's the greatest bargain in SET these days?
Rebbi, I'd be willing to bet the stock tube issue just build down to individual preferences and synergies with their stuff in their specific cases. When different tubes sound different, the maker has to decide which to provide. They can't provide ... 
Is high-end audio dying, if not dead already???
You can't be high end if too many others are higher than you. 
Is high-end audio dying, if not dead already???
The 99th percentile is grander and more high end then I suppose, and that 100th even more so.

I'd like to see more shows like this but perhaps on a smaller scale and various ones with various vendors that tour to various cities over the course of the year. Maybe this would provide a good alternative to teh demise of B&M shops in many a...

I'm sure all these products sound fine. Each has their fans.Were the HF wires at RNAF? I'd be curious what others using other products currently thought if so.

Grand scale at least runs well up into 6 figures, maybe more in rare cases. At least that is the grandest I have seen mention of.

Earliest "MOST WANTED" gear
YEah, the Krell/Logan setup in my local Tweeter back then was quite the combo bound to make an impression. 
Is high-end audio dying, if not dead already???

"He mentioned that it was as amazing as his cables. "Well, that's a good start I suppose. 
Need some suggestions for a new audio rack
See my system pics. The solid OAK coffee table that I have my gear on cost me $30 at a used furniture shop down south a number of years back and nothing could work any better, if something like that fits you.

Check out Cathedral Speakers for something somewhat similar in concept to Burwell and Sons for about 1/10th the cost. I've heard them at CAF in recent years and liked them very much. 
Why do digital cables sound different?
"Does it follow that some digital cables are better at delivering digital signals free of or with less added jitter?"I cannot speak for K. but clearly there are always differences between two products. The question is more how much these matter in...

Is it reasonable to expect a system to sound good just because they use a certain kind or wires? Even 6 digit ones?Still, I would expect good quality sound out of any 5 digit system or higher even though each will have their preferences. Otherwise...
