Bryston preamps
Don't sell the Ohms! Truly excellent for their cost and competitive with far more expensive speakers. I have an older pair of Ohms and won't part with mine!  
When it sounds like a tube amp needs rejuvenating,
Just change the output tubes first. Listen for SQ. Don't forget to adjust the bias voltage (if your amp isn't cathode biased). The small signal tubes may still be fine! 
When it sounds like a tube amp needs rejuvenating,
When the noise level behind the music becomes noticeable! Power tubes usually go first. Small signal tubes can last way longer - 10X that of output tubes! 
CDs Vs LPs
Correction: Icky Thump! Hard to type on my phone's small screen! Checkout the White Stripes - a brother/sister rock duo! First saw them years ago on Conan! 
CDs Vs LPs
Both LP's and CD's can vary in SQ depending upon the mastering. For LP's I prefer first (earliest) masterings. CD's - sometimes first masters sound better, sometimes not. One can only listen. I buy my LP's and CD's online: EBAY and Reverb. Both ne...

So what’s the future look like
So go after the beat box and synth crowds. Show them how good Rap and EDM can sound via high quality playback! And it can! Price is then the problem. Younger people are not going to be spending the price of a car on audio components! So present da... 
So what’s the future look like
The younger generations are listening to Rap and EDM. Not Kind Of Blue or Pink Floyd! And cr*ppy cheap music systems will playback such cr*p just fine for the uninformed and uneducated! Guitar-based rock has been dying for decades.The only bastion...

+1 cd318! You are about the only one to get my reference to Henry Miller! Sad that in our Internet Age hardly anybody reads him anymore! A unique voice in American fiction!

My recent posts are an attempt to add some humor to these oh-so-serious debates about wire! 
DO CABLES REALLY MATTER?
Speakers too! Almost forgot! And plenty of Lp's and CD's! Some RTR tapes (getting scarce!). And I was there when Noel Lee started the fancy wire business going (Monster). So I have a long view of the audio scene!

I own a whole store's worth of vintage audio gear! Amps, preamps, tuners, turntables, tone arms, cartridges, reel-to-reels, cassette decks, CD players, cables, parts, tubes - the works! And guitars and guitar amps! Best collection on Florida's Gul...
