Mendef, join the party!  I'm 68 and have hi frequency hearing loss as well as tennitus.  I recently added a equalizer to boost the upper end.  I also play my music louder than 'normal'.  It helps.  I can not hear crickets, tree frogs, birds chirpi...

Hooked up Shiit Mani incorrectly
Ouch!  Don't be too hard on yourself.  We have all been there.   Not wanting to hijack your thread, but do you think home insurance would cover the damages?  
Is There Just One Single Album That Does It For You, Completely? Just One.
Ah...another Steely Dan Fan!  So sad that Walter is no longer with us. Depends on the time of the year....the season.  I have different favorites depending on the time of the year.  I can listen to Steely Dan really most anytime and be happy.  Pi... 
Why don't we tire of music?
Although there is a bell curve associated with everything in life, I believe most adults don't read the same book or watch the same movie every week, or every month.  Once a year, for sure, especially around the holidays....     I have records I...

Well, hello crew, I'm back after listening for a few weeks.  No doubt this Schiit phono stage sounds better than the C-J EF1.  Hands down.  Not sure how they can build and sell such a fine unit for $400, but they managed!

Invert ?
Phase inversion drives me crazy.  I own a lot of Conrad Johnson equipment.   Some components phase invert, others don't.   I've recently installed a Schiit phono stage.  I asked their online AI, and get a 'maybe yes or no'...so much for AI.  No ... 
Blown tweeters
You may only need to change the Ferro Fluid in the tweeters, of so equipped.  Easy to do in an afternoon.  Do a little research to save yourself a lot of money!  
How long does it take your tube amp to warm up?
15-20 minutes for it to really bloom!

Oops...Forgot the J.A. Michael turntable and SME V tonearm w/ six nines pure silver cable running from the cart to the phono stage..  A very nice turntable rig I've had for over 25 years.....

I have had a Lyra Delos, moving coil cart for the last 10~12 years which puts out ~.0.5mV of signal.  Boron cantilever, line contact diamond stylus.  It replaced a Benz Micro Glider MC around the same price point. (a shade under $2K).  I have alwa...

Oh, I'm sorry, I did that.  I listened to a Bob Dylan record on the prior C-J phono amp, then disconnected it and plugged in the Schiit phono.  Took perhaps 30 minutes putzing with cables and power.  Listened to the same record again.  Improvement...
