Another marketing gimmick?
A quick check of electronic device history indicates the GAN transistor is far from a "new" breakthrough.https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gallium_nitrideI took electronics 101 classes in the early 80's. Don't remember if Gallium was ever mentioned ... 
Has anyone seen this...?
Well, he has cool glasses!Dreadful space, but it’s his "office". I hope he has a separate room that’s aesthetically pleasing/relaxing, when he wants to listen to music.I’d like to see the actual space, or.... maybe not.Definitely not a master inte... 
Selling a very rare album
It's a bootleg from an LA concert. Not much.Maybe a limited press, but not "rare"Only for the hardcore Tull fans, which are getting up in age. Hurry and sell it, before it's too late! 
Should the power be off every time changing cables?
Playing with electrical components -always best to play it safe. Power off.Real world-I've never been to a demo/show, where gear was turned off, with the exception of power cables.This has been with the presence of the amp/gear designer standing n...

Perfect for the buyer "innovative stuff?"A look at the manual, and it appears the designer even put orange LED's in the faux tube. This thing is just....odd. It better sound good for $14K! Plenty of SS amps for less, that sound great.

THD In Light Bulbs
LED=light emitting diodeAre you hearing more noise with it on? If not, just enjoy your music.Best to turn off, unplug  EVERYTHING in your house for true sonic enjoyment.That's if you follow the "keep the power pure" philosophy. 
PWB Electronics
The Belts have been doing their thing for awhile. I didn’t hear anything different with the magic foil, years ago. The other free tweaks didn’t improve anything either. Perhaps my hearing isn’t sensitive enough? I squinted my eyes, closed them, le... 
Question about TT Power Connections
For that level of turntable, use whatever the manufacturer provides. Best to simply enjoy playing a record. All of those models are fine units. IF, you're truly obsessed, be concerned with the platter speed consistency of whatever model and get on...
