The Growing Challenge of Buying NOS/NIB Tubes
had a look at the site, and a lot of the the stock is unpriced, which is quite bizarre. I guess you put it in your basket, and once you‘re hooked he throws you a price,  because nothing shows up at checkout. Or perhaps the tubes never existed and ... 
Power Conditioning on the Cheap
@mitch2 yeah, when you know what’s actually in the box you have to giggle varistors change sound in a way some may find appealing, but squash dynamics big time. The outlets are very high quality and probably do offset their impact to a certain ex...

What stereo equipment do respected musicians listen to?
generally, whatever is at hand, they tend to have an ability to hear through the shortcomings of very ordinary systems explain nuances in performances that most people would fail to detect makes you wonder sometimes..  
Grounding cable gauge size
it might be worth trying placing a long piece of crystalline/rock tourmaline adjacent to the cable at the entry point with the grain structure aligned parallel with the cable. Not saying it will work, but worth a try and not that expensive in the ... 
Grounding cable gauge size
But users report that the ground wire is perhaps even more significant than the grounding box. interesting - what type of construction are they?
