Tweaking my Cronus Magnum Tubes
Leave the 120s installed. If you use phono, try some Telefunken ECC83 etc. there. 
Tweak or Tin Foil Hat?
Yikes. I make sure my dehumidifier, all dimmers, the soldering iron, the projector and the treadmill are off before a session. I can't imagine a transmitter being that close to a tube phono preamp. Heck, even my CD/PC are in another rig. I can hea...

What was your first 'hi-end' system?
When I turned OFF Dolby C on my 3 head cassette deck. 
Thinking of putting to rest ESL63 for Harbeth M30.
I swapped a pair of 57s for Spendor SP2/2 years ago. The first thing I noticed was the veil that appeared. I love the Spendors and still run them on another rig. However, I never forgot how good the Quads were. I ended up buying another pair of 57...
