Western Electric or Takatsuki 300Bs?
Why limit yourself to these two 300B. I have custom built 300b monoblocks, considered the two you've listed and Psvane Acme, Linlai Elite, Audio Note, EML, Elrog. In the end I recently placed order for the Acme, will likely try others in future. A... 
Why Do Schumann Resonators Work?
Audiophiles are not likely to have the expertise to answer your question. In doing my research prior to purchasing SR I found the scientific 'evidence' for health benefits laughable. I didn't purchase my SR's for lowering of noise floors/blocking ... 
I agree with Keef
Freedom is a confounding thing, self censorship, attempts to rewrite history and control the narrative, being hypocritical are just a few of the rights I observe being practiced in this thread thus far. 
Review: Holo May (L2) DAC and the Musetec Audio (LKS Audio) MH-DA005 DAC Compaired
Donnedonne, funny you should describe thread as wonderful and nuanced, reflects 005 sound quality as much as owners of 005. Have to say I've only had enjoyable interaction with other 005 owners, just not enough of us at this juncture! 
RE: the question: ":Why do forum interactions become contentious". . .
Not so sure some of tough guys on social media forums aren't also some of the most argumentative person to person. I've known a number of 'banty roosters' in my life, they'll cut you in person just like they do here. A couple of these guys were/ar... 
Review: Holo May (L2) DAC and the Musetec Audio (LKS Audio) MH-DA005 DAC Compaired
This is not Spring dac. He is comparing Holo MAY LEVEL 2, which has exact same usb implementation as KTE version. 
Review: Holo May (L2) DAC and the Musetec Audio (LKS Audio) MH-DA005 DAC Compaired
Lack of dealership  is part of Musetec business model, likely part of price/performance factor. Having said that I purchased mine through Apos Audio out of San Francisco, they no longer carry. Shenzhen Audio still sells, they are trustworthy IME.S... 
Is The FM tuner obsolete?
If you live close to college towns, student  and/or university sanctioned FM stations can be good sources. I have a number of these choices, one specializes in purely student choices, really all over the place, widest range of genre ever experienc... 
RE: the question: ":Why do forum interactions become contentious". . .
I've been on audiogon since founding, this forum has evolved/devolved just as forums in general. There's always been differences of opinion, in years past certain decorum expected of people, little bad language, much fewer personal attacks. Those ... 
Reel to reel , is it real the hype!
I have Revox A77 NOS purchased perhaps twenty years ago. Rarely used when first purchased, been sitting in closet many years. Recently been getting the itch to reinstate. This thing still has the original display tags, wood cabinet as new, can't b... 
Do you ever miss vintage gear you no longer have?
I've never regretted a single piece I've sold. I've kept enough vintage pieces to build at least three full systems, the pieces I liked I've kept. I still have the first high end piece ever purchased back in 1973 or so, Sony STR 7045 receiver. If ... 
who makes your fav cable loom in 2021?
Can attest to quality of DiY Helix design. I now exclusively use this design for all my power cords, and I've owned or demoed top of line or near top of line from Purist, Synergistic, Shunyata, Elrod, VH Audio, I'm sure I'm forgetting something he... 
who makes your fav cable loom in 2021?
Perhaps I misunderstood Blindjim's question, I assumed he was asking about new model cables introduced in 2021. Whether my assumption correct or not, I question evolution of of cables in regard to sq. Is it marketing or real innovation driving new... 
Opinions Please - New Prodduction Sophia EL34ST Coke Bottle
Best EL34 I've heard are SED's from St. Petersburg plant, newer Svetlana not the same tube. I have some SED cryo'd and closely matched, sold as Black Sable, purchased in late 90's, still use them in my Prima Luna amp. 
What unknown musical artist would you like to share with your fellow audiophiles?
The United States of America, 60's experimental rock band out of NYC. Cut only one album, too bad!
