Shootout of Nos 6sn7 tubes
Damn it, shkong78-     Why didn’t you do this shootout, and test those Russkie tubes, a month ago?      I’d have been looking for a pair of those, instead of buying the T-S’s.       Now, I have to start shopping again.     Thanks, pal!      ps: Wh... 
In the middle of a pandemic, Stereophile reviews ~ $30K equipment
As long as there are those that purchase HE equipment (regardless of price), there will be those that manufacture, sell and review, HE equipment (regardless of price).              There's a market, just as for luxury real estate, cars, yachts, je... 
Difference in sound between Siemens e88cc and e188cc?
Read the following info page (at least, to 3/4 of the way down), from Tubemuseum.                  The iteration is variously referred to, as solid halo, solid getter, disc, etc., though- I have no doubt; it’s been called other things.            ... 
Does altitude change the sound of speakers??
There’s something referred to as, "acoustic impedence", which affects, "sound pressure", and varies with air pressure.      Given your elevation change amounts to less than a mile; it’s highly unlikely you’ll notice anything.             Not that ... 
Difference in sound between Siemens e88cc and e188cc?
What audition__audio said, +1.      I found the Siemens tubes, made after the early 60’s (silver shield / internal date code), to be brighter (bordering on stridency), in my system.      To me; the absolute star of the Siemens 6922 line up, has to...

@jl35 -      " ....the only testing that matters is the testing you do at home in your own system... and we buy with return privileges so there’s no bias to "pretend"...      There you go again: being logical and making sense!     How dare you (an... 
Are manufacturer AC cables good enough?
@jl35- Your biggest mistake, was to have actually tried some better cables and cords.     Now: you need to sell those and forget everything you think you heard, because: your deceitful/malfunctioning ears and brain, obviously misled you.     TRUST...

I didn’t make your totally UNSUBSTANTIATED statements!     It’s your ilk, that incessantly demands, "EVIDENCE."    You’ve made a number of claims.     Now- back them up, with something! 
Recommendations for PC -- for modest system --
 "Everything matters.    Dollars spent upstream reap greater rewards (and shine a light on wrong turns) for all upgrades downstream."       +1       Also; anything from Synergistic Research or Kimber, will serve you well.

I AM (thanks)!

@turnedown-      Yeah, that settles it!

@heaudio-      So; you, "call them out" with ZERO verification/validation, of your statements (iow, "TRUST ME")? 
Are manufacturer AC cables good enough?
         "But has never done double blind with any verification or validation."         Verify/validate that statement, somehow, please!

The Farce is strong, with these two.
