Help me mod my tube amp
I'm sure your amp is performing better than it already  is. How my much in parts/ labor are you in? "For the 12AU7s, I added NOS Brimar from Upscale Audio." I looked up the current price to compare what I paid 8 years ago- ouch, but not obscene... 
Vinyl that is impossible to find
With the exceptionof their first  2 albums 10000 Maniacs recordings were done during the dreadful digital CD days.There wasn't a US LP release, as CD was king. The euro press that was released probably sounds no better than the CD. Likely, you'r... 
And a Happy 4th to all!
Long holiday weekend- Twilight  Zone marathon . 1959- 1964.  Amazing how Rod Serling and crew wrote storylines that play out in real time 2025? 🤔

Cartridge and/or phono stage upgrades
"I’m not sure that’ it is an upgrade or just a lateral move." VPI Classic 1 user(12 years?) Modwright could be a nice "upgrade"  To my ears tube presentation is more"organic/real" sounding. I use a tube phono equivalent to that model.  
What do you do when you get a bad vinyl record pressing?
The bass was there! Why it's missing on your main rig is a mystery? My 1st inclination is the cartridge/setup. If other LP's are fine, then never mind. The album Electric is especially punchy as it was produced by Rick Rubin. The Cult – Electri...

How reliable is PS audio equipment?
"BHK preamp is only good for 20 years due to the design." There is a built-in timer. When the clock strikes 20, masked audio henchmen break down your front door and take it away.      
Audio influencers on YouTube hiding comments from public view
''Audio influencers on YouTube" Who is being influenced?  More important, who is buying that bent wire for $200?

When using a power conditioner, why is it advised to run amps directly to the wall?
" I have had literally everything in my rack plugged into the Mac power center for nearly 16 years plus I just added a big powered sub a few weeks ago. It sounds great and I have had no problems at all." That says it all. Your ears/practical self... 
MBL Insolvent
"It is, in many ways, a strange hobby, and the rest of the world, if they think about it at all, think we are all nuts" Goes without  saying.  I've always been impressed/captivated by the MBL demos. Maybe a Euro equity group will  acquire them ...
