2nd systems- who’s got one?
My second system is in our finished basement,aka The Pit. Currently running a First Watt F5, Promitheus TVC, Hornshoppe Great Horned Heils, April Music DAC, Bluesound Node 2, and an Onkyo C-7030 (running thru the DAC)

@decooney ,Glad to hear the Psvanes are working out. Would you say the TJ’s are bright in comparison,or just detailed?   
Are Harbeth the only warm and euphonic speakers in town ?

Worldwide Shipping Situation

I’m going to back up @aricaudio with his statement about the value of his used gear. How can I do this? The reason I can is because I purchased one of the two Motherlode II’s that have come up on the used market. At the time,it was the only one I ... 
Linlai E 6sn7 tubes
@aricaudio,Thanks for the info. @markusthenaimnut, I have no personal comparison with the WE 6SN7 plus,but the gentleman that recommended the Linlai’s,has the WE’s also. He stated that the WE Plus,was the best of the bunch. The Linlai’s were a clo... 
Linlai E 6sn7 tubes
It seems the Elites have been flying under the radar for a while. I’m hoping durability matches their sonics.  I haven’t seen much on long term reviews. @aricaudio, do you have any insight?
