The Music at AXPONA 2022
So true!  Just noise and sounds in so many rooms.  We made one last sweep as most vendors were packing up their equipment and I heard the opening chords of Cream’s White Room. It was like “music to my ears!”  I almost ran to that room, sat down a... 
Tubes becoming hard to get?
No.  They’re just playing.   
Vinyl Repair?
Fly to Siberia, ride a horse into the tundra and dig into the permafrost. Dig until you find a long, tubular, curvy white thing.   Put it in your back pack and take it home.   Buy a saw. Cut a small piece off. Sharpen it. Make it real pointy.   Pl...

Best Bang for the Buck Upgrade
I would concentrate on the room. GIK and Vicoustic might offer free analysis. Search the forums for referrals and suggestions. Room treatment can be effective and attractive.  It is essential for changes, improvements. Enjoy the ride.  
What does the word audiogon even mean?
Our audiophile group calls itself The Audiofoos - amazing Wife Acceptance Factor. Foos because we spend money on audio like a bunch of Foos. Audiogon? Maybe because your money is soon gone?    
Buyer Dispute
Seems to me the seller took advantage of a buyer.  Refund (regardless if buyer wanted to wait for tweeters because it looks like he/she stalled for time so buyer could not use Paypal to dispute the transaction) immediately, for $7000 speakers tha... 
Don’t want to freak you out…
Now you tell me! I've spent lots of money and time on this hobby. Poor, poor pitiful me.
