Flat speaker cables versus round core cables
      OF COURSE: my first post was a joke, EXCEPT for the fact that the Big Silver Oval proved the most neutral cable I’d auditioned.       Given the plethora of cable construction methods and configurations extant, listening is the sole way to d...

     Never fails to amuse, when the resident, imitation intel (snort of derision) operative, quotes another fictitious character.     ESPECIALLY about, "self-deception".                                              HILARIOUS!    
How important is it to match tubes in a preamp?
     It's been 19 years.      Whatta ya bet: he's resolved his issue? @oddiofyl -      Enjoy that new Amplitrex (I'm jealous)!  
Veneer delamination

NEWS FLASH!! Listening to Music is NOT a "Distraction."
     Is the time you spend listening to music, merely CHRONOS, or rather KAIROS? ie: https://thewhippet.org/unsolicited-advice/kairos/  
Veneer delamination
     Perhaps a bit of background on a couple methods, used by various cabinet manufacturers, professional veneerers and common civilians use, in the application of veneers, will assuage some fears.      The suggestion of using an iron tells me: O... 
Tube Recommendations Please
     Well: I thought how Brent noise-tested tubes was on that page.      Here’s how he does it, on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=205__gxWJc8&t=32s      Note the socket, for nine-pin miniatures, to the left of the octal.  
Need some help soldering Binding posts.
@garthb309 -      The best way I can imagine, to make that work, would be to use an extra nut on each post, to securely capture your wire and guarantee a connection.      IF your posts didn’t come with 2 nuts per (AND I remember correctly); 8mm-...

Tube Recommendations Please
     What facten said, plus 1, regarding Brent Jessee.      Something VERY important, when tubing a preamp, is finding the LEAST noisy tubes possible.      Brent uses my favorite method of weeding out noisy tubes. Actually listening to them, as ...
