Experience with Inakustik 3500P Power Conditioner??
@rareace,I am wondering - why would you open such an expensive unit (at least for my pay grade) when Bob offered to have the unit checked and pay shipping both ways? I would NEVER do that - especially when you had it for just a month. Hope you bot... 
Goldenear Triton One R vs. PSB T3. vs. Spendor D7...
This is my preference:1. Spendor (musical and captivating in an expensive MBL rig)2. PSB (super neutral, heard in mutiple systems dealers/audio shows)3. No experience with GE. Heard one in 2014 at a Texas dealer and was not impressed) 
Preamplifier, in need of input
@earthtones,The Psvane 12AU7 are something special. Which other tunes did you compare them to? Any NOS?

I would also add a Backert Labs Rhythm 1.3, since it ticks all the boxes. But not sure if they have a dealer in your location. 
Experience with Inakustik 3500P Power Conditioner??
@rareace,You are welcome. Absolutely no intentions of upgrading anything at the  moment. Last week I upgraded my Clear Day XLRs (2 pairs) to Inakustik NF-2404s. If I upgrade anything more, my wife will upgrade me as well :-) Took me more than 2 we...

@rareace,I checked the outlet that I use to power the conditioner as well as an outlet on the conditioner. They are showed correct polarity. I also use the upgraded 2502 cable, and based in the US.You should let Bob know about the issue and let us... 
Should people with no turntable or reel to reel be considered audiophiles?
Id10t type of question by OP. Probably forgot to take his meds :-) 
is the sound of vinyl due to the physical process of the turntable?
@mikelavigne ,I don't own a single LP and really not interested. But that was THE BEST explanation you provided on how turntables work and how the sound is produced using the coil. Thanks much 🙏 
Help regarding SACD/CD players
@anton99,I agree with jazzman7 that you should get a DAC with DSD capabilities. While the D.BOB is a option for extracting DSD files, I think the better way to do is to snag a cheap Sony player from the ebay and rip all your SACDs into DSD files. ... 
Spendor D7 vs. Harbeth Super HL5+
You need to go out and listen to the speakers yourself. This discussion will only make it more clear that loudspeaker choice is personal. I have listened to the D7 and similar Harbeths when I was searching for loudspeakers about couple of years ag... 
Tube Preamp with Solid State Amp?
Love my combination of Parasound A21 + Backert Labs Rhumba 1.3 which is a tube preamp. The resolution, soundstage width/depth and impacts are stunning!

@erik_squires,Right on the money man. That is the way to go. Treat your room and be amazed. Then upgrade only if needed.Would love to see your room. You should certainly post your system here.

PSVANE 12Au7 12At7 12Ax7 "-T MKII" 2020 production run of small signal/driver tubes
@decooney ,I recently purchased a pair of the Psvane 12AU7 from Viva tubes. They easily bested the Genalex Gold Lions and the Mullards that came with my preamp. For the first 10-20 hours they sounded hooty. But after a few days, these started to o...
