Soundstage, layering and tube differences
"Tubes need zero burn-in...zero." ????      Don’t know your opinion of Brent Jessee (one of the most respected names in NOS tubes), but- here are just a few sentences (verbatim), from a letter that he includes, when you receive tubes purchased fro... 
fake TL audio preamp in china
@stereo5 - Where, in millercarbon’s post, was there anything even resembling a, "right wing, political agenda"?                  Unless either completely, willfully ignorant, or- just plain stupid, no one can deny that the chinese communists (caps... 
Help: Low output on one channel
The less complex a system: the better the performance, as a rule (at least, in my experience).      Isn't it great, when you can figure things out on your own?      KUDOS and happy listening! 
A Highly Unusual Topic!

Short Power Cable (ie, 3 to 6ft)
Dead thread resurrections/dead head responses (19 years, in THIS case).      Are we having fun, yet?                                 Apologies, to Grateful fans! 
An EXPERIMENT for those who have never heard differences in cables

Breaking into the industry
It’s been fifteen years!      HOPEFULLY, they’ve chosen a career path by now. 
Help: Low output on one channel
Any diff if you switch between tube & SS circuit?      On a different tack: How old is the Peachtree?      In the past; I’ve had to replace those wimpy, surface-mount capacitors, in digital components (preamps with ADC/DAC boards) with the sam...

An EXPERIMENT for those who have never heard differences in cables
For those special individuals, ignorant of available magnet wire gauges: https://www.amazon.com/TEMCo-AWG-Copper-Magnet-Wire/dp/B071JC7LKK      btw: The air-core inductors in many of your crossovers, are already  passing current to your low freq d... 
An EXPERIMENT for those who have never heard differences in cables
No doubt, here, there would be an audible difference.      Never, will I attempt to dissuade another from experimenting.      It’s always been my belief that the Dielectric Coefficient (and polarization) of any material, around a cable’s conductor... 
An EXPERIMENT for those who have never heard differences in cables
The coating’s usually referred to as, "enamel", which can be made of various materials.      ie: https://www.elantas.com/europe/products/wire-enamels.html      I’ve generally removed it with an X-acto blade and a light scraping action, toward the ... 
Burn in discs vs. music for new speakers
SO, Georgie- You’re telling me you have nothing but opinion pieces and anecdotal evidence.      Funny, but- that’s what you're constantly whining about, regarding fuses.          btw: No one, thus far on this thread, has said anything about suspen...
