| Can one have too many tube components in a system? The tube system is in a basement bedroom and by the time the first album is finished, the room is comfy warm😄. I hear you. That's why I'm going back to SS. | |
| Why spend more than $25 per piece of equipment on vibration reduction? To answer the OP, to help keep manufacturers of dubious products in business. | |
| Can one have too many tube components in a system? If you live in the south, yep. | |
