Zu Audio Union 6 Supreme
I have both the Dirty Weekender Floorstanders and the Omen Monitors.  Overall, both sets were a lot more pleasing to listen to after some break-in, thinking 50 hours max, it's been a while.   How do you have them placed?  Cables connected correct... 
Studio Electric m4
I agree with your thinking of trying something else.  I had 3 different Omega models in use at different times over a 20 year period and it was the CAMs that I was the least satisfied with.  Good with acoustic music, but just meh to these ears wit... 
Billie MK3 Pre order and Price!!
Hi - I purchased the Heaven 11 Bille MK II amp just about 2 years ago.  I paid roughly $1600 USD new.  It is used in a second system with Golden Ear BRX speakers, PS Audio SACD transport and GainCell DAC, and a Technics 1500 turntable.  The Billi... 
'Y' Cable/Connector
You are fine.  Started using Y connectors fifty years ago to connect my SONY hand held mono cassette recorder to my SONY stereo.  They were called patch cords back then.  Enjoy your system.  Rich   
Replace tubes yearly?
@n80 - Hi.  I wasn't smugly lecturing anyone.  I remembered Paul's comments differently than the way you originally presented them.  I provided links to 2 of his videos for people to judge for themselves.    Some of the comments made were taking... 
Replace tubes yearly?
For background purposes, more on why Paul feels the way he does about tube replacement.  He covers it quite well.   https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mPCPJ4tMr28   Rich   
Replace tubes yearly?
@invalid - Hi.  I am not looking to be argumentative on a topic that I am not all that interested in, as I turn all hifi equipment off regardless.  All I did was refer back to the video that the OP mentioned, as I had watched the video and rememb... 
Replace tubes yearly?
Some folks rush to opine, some rush to smear, some rush to offer conspiracy theories, but no one rushes to go back to what Paul actually said.  I had watched the YouTube video before reading this post and what the OP reported is not quite what Pau... 
Repair shop in New York
My dad fixed TVs and stereos for a living, so I know how difficult it is to get a good technician to fix equipment. Years back, I had two Marantz receivers (2216B and 2240) repaired by the Soundsmith in Peekskill.   Excellent work, but costly. I...

Anyone take Tepezza?
Hi folks - What wasn't said, but possibly implied, with my original comments is that potential medical solutions present you with having to make a choice.  And once you get beyond coming up with all the pluses and minuses, you still have a choice... 
Added a Schiit Freya+ to a Sansui 8080
@porchlight1 - Did I enjoy the EPI 100s?  I was thinking the same thing when I was answering this.   I enjoyed them very much.  I had paired the EPIs with a Pioneer 3600 receiver and Dual 1229 TT.  The EPIs were my first good speakers that were s... 
Anyone take Tepezza?
I can’t see how you are between a rock and a hard place. Sorry. Time to get real though, you’re sick and you have the chance to get better. Your stuff is curable and that is a HUGE plus. I have been receiving infusions every oth... 
Added a Schiit Freya+ to a Sansui 8080
Hi wolf_garcia - I have been around hi-fi literally for almost seven decades; my dad sold and repaired the stuff for a living, so I can't remember a time when stereos were not part of my life.  I was testing tubes for my dad when I was 5.  My sta...
