Leaving tube amps on.
@simao   Ty. I just read it.  @jea48  Ty. Yes. I have to agree with what u said. Sometimes I don’t listen to music for 4 or more hours later in the day. So it would make sense to shut them down. Anything less I’ll leave on sometimes it’s maybe 2 h...

This is a very interesting topic for me. Until I read this I totally forgot about cleaning my contacts for a few years now. I found what I was using and it was Kontak. I still have a half bottle left. I will do all my connections today. I was surp... 
Power cords: does length matter?
@ghdprentice That really would be interesting and fun to visit each other systems. I listen mostly to classic rock , soft rock , pop, Motown , some county , some jazz , some classical. My volume is typically 80 - 86db.   
Power cords: does length matter?
@ghdprentice  Yes I did have 2 - 2 m HC Dragon and 2 - 1 m HC Dragon PCs. One of my dedicated outlets for my amp is about 1.5 m away and the other dedicated outlet is about 3/4 m  away from my other amp. At first I tried both 2 m HC Dragon PCs on ... 
Power cords: does length matter?
@jeffreyw  I totally agree with you. I am using 2 Audioquest Dragon HC PCs for my ARC Ref 750s. One is a 2 m and the other is a 1 m. They both sound exactly the same.

New expensive power cord for amp and no change in sound?
I switched out my upgraded PC from stock that were Shunyata King Cobra  (2) last summer for the Audio quest Dragon HC (2) and I’ll tell u I could hear a big difference. More clarity. Bigger soundstage. More details with voices and instruments espe... 
Music first or sound first?
For me it has always been about the love of music. From the 70s when I was a kid,.to me now who is 58. The love of the music has made me seek out the very best system I can possible afford. Because I love MUSIC.  
Should we care if a piece of equipment comes from a pet-free, kid-free, smoke-free home?
Basically. Anyone can say pet free smoke free kid free drug free alcohol free etc etc etc. Does it really matter what they say ? The seller could clean it up good and say anything.

Heavy speakers: How to be able to reposition?
@musicfan2349  Hi. I too have the B&W Matrix 800s. They are my main speakers for my listening room. But when I do move them I just walk them on the bases. One corner at a time. I don’t use the spikes because they are on my hardwood floor.   
The receiver was my intro to HiFi! What say you?
My first real stereo was a fisher receiver turntable and speakers. Can’t remember the model but probably 30wpc but loved that tuner knob for the Am Fm that turned so silky smooth and lightning fast. I was 13 that was 1979. Big time !
