A vote for amber LED lights on components over blue lights.
Enjoy your system and holidays! 
A vote for amber LED lights on components over blue lights.
Blue is one of my favorite colors.    Good thing, as my BAT VK-D5, Stealth XXX, PS Audio phono stage and Synergistic MPCs, all have BRIGHT, blue LEDs.   Love 'em, along with the glow of my system's tubes, in the dark.    Anyway; here's a possibl... 
McIntosh fuse changeout to make better sound
As the 'Flat Earth Church of Pushing Electrons Through Metals' continues it's fevered program, to deliver the music lover from the demonic influences of their own mental faculties and senses (HOLLOW-HEADED-LUJAH, AMEN): the intrepid listen on and ... 
Svetlana KT-88
No argument!    When it comes to what will sound best, with what gear, in which room and to whose ears/tastes; the variables are incalculable.                  When it came to the audio business; I was all about, "The customer always thinks he's r...

“TAD” Tubes
Just some general info: There are no SED, Winged =C=, Svetlana tubes, currently in production.     I really liked them (bought from Upscale), but- the St Petersburg plant burned down, years ago (along with it’s equipment) and SED closed the door...

Constant noisy tubes maybe go solid state?
Brent Jessee currently has some Amperex 6211 tubes (Holland/10K hrs), intended/noise tested for IBM, that won’t break the bank.      Might be worth your time, to discuss those with him, since you liked the Amperex sound.       Info on that premium... 
McIntosh fuse changeout to make better sound
"Yoko Ono sounds fantastic, but ONLY with perfectly selected fuses."                                                The burned out variety?  
An old phrase which, I believe, may be timely...
"Caveat emptor" will remain a relevant principal, until there's no further greed, dishonesty or- faulty goods, on the planet.       id est: FOREVER! 
McIntosh fuse changeout to make better sound
Once again; No one can possibly know whether fuses will make a difference, in their system and room, with their media and to their ears, without trying them for themselves.     Some companies offer a 30 Day Satisfaction Guarantee, so- those that... 
Amp-preamp mismatch?? result higher volume. What is rthe cause??
The PS amp’s sensitivity is lower (1.01 vs 1.6V) for it’s (higher) rated output/gain, compared to the BAT.             +1 (each for testpilot, millercarbon and twoleftears) 
HAPPY HOLIDAYS TO ALL!
Back at ya (et al) and throughout: HAPPY LISTENING! 
The Irrational But Efficacious CD Tweak
@andik-   There are no claims, other than it’s content being a series of frequencies (or combinations/Noises*), mentioned by the maker of the Irrational But Efficacious CD.       You might try ripping one on a computer/laptop, to a digital file.  ... 
Does Power Cord Require Burn-In To Sound Good?
@audio2design-      "Not sure who you think you are fooling with this?"      "....with some hard numbers what your claimed dielectric impacts would be on a power cord....."       Are you actually that obtuse?       I’ve, "claimed" nothing (hence: ...
