Go Buy Some Music You Deadbeat Streamers!
I enjoy YouTube. Had a Tidal subscription but the SQ was not cutting it for me at all. Access to a large catalog was fun but much missing. I tend to buy the LP of artists I listen to a lot online. Ultimately, old analog recordings are my favorite ...

Didn't Fremer say it was very good but over-engineered and too expensive?

New "World Class" 3C24 amp
Congrats Dan. This is a pretty unusual tube. Bright glowing plates and anode on top. I'm guessing you're hearing an etched clarity like viels are lifted. Try put up the photos again. 
Harbeth Super HL5 plus Break-in
Not sure 24" out from the wall is going to cut it. You using the correct stands? Try spiking them to a concrete paver. 
I just added a new component to my VS, it's not getting posted on the forum.

Fuses in the 3 speed SME PSU
@richardkrebs You know, you have a point. I've used PTFE tape on the Linn Ittok arm tube many years ago. I'll give it a try. Thanks!

I agree with both. The Shure is in between so that's a pick. The Glanz is lovely and smooth with a rich musicality. I'd have to go with the Victor due to its more neutral sound.

And you’ve looked at the Technics SL-1200GAE? 
What integrated would you recommend for summer amp?
Agree with MC. I’m as green as I can be but you’re not playing a zero sum game here. Let the AC eat the heat but mow your yard less or hold off on flushing every pee etc.@millercarbon Is the Internet big enough to contain you when you get the Rave... 
Fuses in the 3 speed SME PSU
I'll never spend the prices SR charge. But I do agree that fuses make a difference. I tried a $40 Furatech rhodium but it was too bright/steely. Try this. I've done it and was amazed at the improvement. Wrap a few turns of masking tape around the ...
