WaveTouch Audio Antero Speakers.   
Insane ground loop; anybody wanna try?
I tried the hum x on my Hegel H200 integrated because I could hear it humming and it did nothing. I tried the iFi SilentPower and now it's silent. If you think it might be DC offset try one on your preamp or on one amp side and see what happens. I... 
The Insane World of High End Audio! Is it All a Scam?
I've watched a few of his videos. I think he’s just looking for clicks. The scam is his content to get subscribers using clickbait titles. He’s a good entertainer though.  
I find myself "tuning out" anymore.....is the magic fading?
Have you listened to Yussef Kamaal Black Focus or Jaimie Branch Fly or Die?  
speaker recommendation
Check out the Wavetouch Anteros. $2800 and 40 day money back guarantee. I've had mine for 2 weeks and I can honestly say they are the best speakers I've ever owned. Speakers are so system and room dependent you just can't beat trying before buying... 
what speakers to buy
Sorry I saw this post just now. The Wavetouch Anteros are the best speakers I've ever had in my system at 1/2 the price I've spent on previous. At $2800 and a 40 day money back satisfaction guarantee you can't go wrong... They are incredible.  
What speakers for 10k?
Hey Jughead,You never posted a review of the GTs but obviously they weren't keepers. Can you relate your experience here? I'm very curious as you are probably not a "shill" as many people seem to think the positive reviewers are.Thanks! 
Stand out phono stages
Musical Surroundings Nova Phonomena. Unbelievable for the price. Better in my system than the EAR834p with premium Amperex Bugle Boys. Dead quiet, truthful, dynamic and wonderful PRAT. Love being off the grid!!! Music floats in an absolute silent ...

ARC CA-50 tube changing
Problem solved! I learned that my local second-hand audio dealer has lots of experience changing and biasing the ARC tubes. Echo Audio in Portland. Thanks guys, i don't want to risk getting fried... 
ARC CA-50 tube changing
Yeah, it's kind of hard to see anything in there with the big 6550s glowing sideways and the boards mounted vertically on the sides. Still, if a tech can do it then why can't I? I just need some instructions... 
Klipsch forte II what league are they in?
Used with a low powered tube amp (in my case a Decware SE34I.2+) there are very few speakers that can compete with the Klipsch Heritage line of speakers for under $1000. The end of a long 15 year high-end audio journey for me. I've probably spent ... 
Decware - any substance here?
Just want to add my experience for the record.I have owned Quicksilver Silver 90 monoblocks,Cary SLI-50, Unison Research Unico and Sr-1, AES Superamp, with VAC classic, Joule Electra LA-100 MkIII, Audible Illusions, Classe, and Bottlehead preamps,...
