"Super Rectifier"
@kalali- Yes, it probably will. Most gain devices can be described as a valve or switch, that’s(basically) turned on and off by it's input signal, and modulates the voltage and/or current from the power supply, as it’s output to the next stage(or ...

@theophile - Ghosts are great, but- If you crave Radical Rectumfire, try a Reaper! 
Beware the audio guru
MENSA? Regarding Grammar: One would think, with such a high(proclaimed) IQ, such would(at least) be familiar with the proper use of reflexive pronouns(ie: "myself") https://www.grammarly.com/blog/reflexive-pronouns/ I will, however, admit that I c... 
Beware the audio guru
The Tweak doth protest too much, methinks. (overly loquacious)  For all that posturing:    https://code.tutsplus.com/articles/do-you-suffer-from-the-dunning-kruger-effect--net-22227 
which 6sn7 gives the most air??
The bottom-gettered VT-231 Sylvanias(JAN-CHS) and Ken-Rads(JAN-CKR), from the Forties are wonderfully clean and airy, and present a wide sound stage(if the rest of the system supports). No artificial warmth, though some are fond of that. Not too p... 
Fuses on Magnepan .7 speackers
@grekon39- ".....there are definitely two sides of the fence on this one." One could certainly say that! If you haven’t perused the offerings/opinions, in the following threads, you might be interested. Don’t know how many responses are based on s... 
Fuses on Magnepan .7 speackers
Some fuse makers(ie: Synergistic) offer a free trial period, so- you’ve nothing to lose, by ACTUALLY TRYING their products(unlike MOST neigh-sayers). Listening to them, in your own system and with your own ears, is the only way to know if you can ... 
"Super Rectifier"
You’re already using one of the premium, available rectifiers out there. Once upon a time I tried a solid state replacement, for the 5AR4 in a wonderful sounding(modded) ST-70. Couldn’t remove it fast enough. That wasn’t one of the Super-Rectifier...

@geoffkait -  Excellent quotes!

@ieales-  Yes, Sir: I never thought you were intimating that phase was the sole issue.    Sometimes we think we've comprehension of what another's written, but- what we've understood, isn't what they meant.  Isn't clarity fun?

@geoffkait -  "Whatever"?   I haven't heard that retort to the truth, since my little girl's mind matured.  Thanks for the memories!   You asked, " So what’s not to know?"  No one KNOWS for certain, what part in the conduction of electricity elec...

@ieales- Wouldn’t it be nice, if phase anomalies were the only problems/issues, that we had to address, in out efforts for good sound? Again- So many variables. 
Cable Snake Oil Antidote
@geoffkait - There’s a lot that is known, but- like I said, " Thus far, there’s no known metric, for most of the subtleties that wires and fuses can out...". No one has actually observed photons, in a conductor, either. And- like you said, " Nobod... 
Cable Snake Oil Antidote
@ghosthouse - So many variables(aural acuity/sources/systems/rooms/experience/training) and so much resistance(can’t work so I won’t try/won’t spend more than 50 Cents a foot for wire). Thus far, there’s no known metric, for most of the subtleties... 
what tubes for eastern electric minimax phono?
Whenever purchasing tubes for a phono stage, it’s very important to be certain the seller has tested them and certifies them as very low noise. http://vintagetubeservices.com/testing-selecting-procedures/ https://www.upscaleaudio.com/pages/grading...
