Acoustics and reverberation time
Sometimes one of my device were disconnected by accident, or by me for an experiment, and the result were the audible clues and values of each one of my experiments... This I can totally believe, because the same kind of thing has happened to m... 
Tube imperfections

Happy Holidays - Ideas for giving
Give the gift of Christmas cheer, singing loud for all to hear!

Recommendations for a modestly priced analog system
A Sota Sapphire with an Origin Live Encounter tonearm and Soundsmith Carmen cartridge will do the trick nicely. This!  ^^  @millercarbon.   My preamp Cary SLP98P has a phono stage in it. But, I don't know if I should get a better one or not. Tha...
