Fact or misinformation?
I was embarrassed for the guy. Didn't want to challenge him, since it's his setup. Wasn't even an exotic setup. The "exhibit" was lukewarm and he played the system way too loud to showcase the setup. I did get to enjoy it on other setups. I got... 
Hot Rats
This Hot Rat wasn't much for music.  He liked the whine of a 6-71 blower.  
I wasn’t sure where to classify this…
maverick3n1- Congrats for making it to the "finish line." Looks like you're locked and loaded for some reasonably comfy listening sessions in peace. Enjoy! I'm in Long Beach, and gonna check out  The Show today and listen to unobtanium setups ...

Moved from SoCal? Why leave  this expensive, traffic ridden, over crowed, polluted paradise? Guess being a native, I'm a little over nostalgic and defensive of my constantly getting weirder state.  
Tube Socket Savers, why?
Unless you're pulling a tube in and  out constantly, and the tube socket is soldered directly to the board, there's isn't a need for them. Repeated tube swaps stress the solder joint, thus possibly breaking the connection, leading to an intermitt... 
Energy speakers
Looks like the Energy brand is having it's "moment." I had a pair of RC30's year's back. To clarify the comment made about their pedigree: They were MIC(made in China) boxes-good, price point value boxes-nothing more. The RC line was MIC. Energ... 
Plant/Krauss Tour
"Plant's been tired of LZ stuff for decades now. Hence, all his other various projects with Allison Krause and others.... " Thanks for the enlightenment, larsman-never would have imagined. Brilliant observation!  
Plant/Krauss Tour
Plant being 73, is probably tired of any LZ tunes-like most musicians, they want to explore new, uncovered territory.  Looking forward to seeing them in August-LA. Admittedly, I look forward to hearing  the Plant/Krauss interpretations of  some ... 
Hi-Fi Tuning Fuse Holder
There isn't a need for a review, if you're a fuse tweak apostle. How could there NOT be a profound SQ improvement-the metal parts are cryo'ed !  
Energy speakers
That ebay listing is only a "deal" if the OP LIVES in SoCal proper. Listing clearly states NO BOXES PICKUP ONLY. If the OP is outside of the area, it's a NO DEAL.  
Energy speakers
Energy speakers-price point/value, big box store brand popular with home theater fans. Relative to price, you get a decent speaker. Especially when you can get them on sale.  Not worth  exerting  audio neurosis over. Get them if they're in your ... 
Turned back into a music lover
"instead of listening for audio thrills you’ve turned back into a music lover." Does this mean there are members here who listen for "audio thrills" instead of the actual music?  SHOCKING!  
Bybee Technologies Crystal Series Plug-in Speaker Bullets.
"Stunning improvement in: detail retrieval, ambiance and spatial presentation, vocal and instrumental color, transient and dynamic impact, and harmonic completeness"  If you have $10K+ speakers and they don't perform with those attributes WITHOUT... 
Diggin in the Crates
Pretty impressive to have such a diverse musical experience and STILL be reasonably young. With such a resume, you'd expect a guy looking much older and frail, from all the excess he lived thru.  
AudioMagic Fuses Bad Quality I Do Not Recommend!!
Audiophool defusing is remedied by purchasing good components/speakers  setup appropriately with realistic expectations.
