What do "audiophiles" use to judge equipment?
@three_easy_payments MC believes that posters use his posts as reference. No jokes - he honest-to-God actually believes that. 😂🤣 
Follow your own advice
You mean you want us to deprive the forum know-it-all’s like  George to share their wisdom with us? 😂🤣

@bpoletti Changing even a single component ( pairs in this case - left+right channel) can, and does, make a huge difference in sound. In many cases more so than going from bad speaker cable to good ones.There is no "design flaw". A good analogy wo... 
When are people going to wake up and realize listening is a skill?
Clearly, bloviating is a skill also … SMH

@grannyring  With tube amps you are good with output caps from .47uf to 2.2uf.  If you want a more holographic image I suggest two cap brands.  - VH Audio Odams - Duelund CAST CuSn - tinned copper version Given the wording of your post, I was w... 
List your breakthrough products that you’ve discovered on this audiophile Journey.
1.) Power cords and power conditioning2.) Audiophile capacitors, most notably VH Audio VCaps (TFTF and of late, CUTF)3.) Li Batteries and sine wave inverters

@jasbirnandra I cannot speak for your pre, but I’ll share what I have on mine. I have 4 x 3uF coupling caps. 1 pair (the pair towards the back of the chassis) are output caps. I confirmed by measuring the resistance between the output RCA and the ...

@jasbirnandra I have custom built 2A3 SET amps and I don’t know what the input impedance is. I doubt it’s even close to as high as your Canary 300B, but I think it’s high enough to use a cap much smaller then 3uF.My big concern was the interstage ...

@jasbirnandra Thank you. I’m interested to hear if everything is ok when you try a smaller capacitor like a 2.0 uF.I have Musicaps in my amp; they’re probably not as good as the Theta caps you have in your amp. Regards.

@grannyring I’ve got the smaller model Canary amp that jasbirnanda has and it has the same 4 x 3uF caps. I follow what you said re the output caps, and I suspect Canary went for 3uF just to play safe. But why are the interstage caps also 3uF? Coul...

@jasbirnandra Do you mind sharing what value uF you used? I have a C800 and was thinking of upgrading capacitors too, but the CuTF VCaps I was thinking of using is not made larger than 2.0 uF. Thank you 
New cables - To judge now or after burn in period?
That is an attack of the personal looser style added with The cover of intellectual tape. Should you not like someone’s opinion go read a book Get a real educationSays the “intellectual” who refers to others who’s opinions he does not like as “the... 
New cables - To judge now or after burn in period?
1971, you should always site the sources you reference. Here, let me help you.The deaf audiophile society. (2017). How to claim an observation is false if you lack the intellect to come up with a hypothesis : Scientifitic theory for those who are ... 
Why the cost increase?
Sorry, no other way to put this; your ignorance is mind boggling.And no, I shall not respond to a single thing you say.There really is no point. You mean to say the ice caps did disappear in 2013? Google maps is pre 2013? 😂🤣  
Why the cost increase?
So the fact that the effects of global warming are happening but didn't happen 7 years ago is funny? No, what is funny is that you actually expect to believed after you have been lying through your teeth for decades.Seriously wake up dude warnin...
