Warm, rich but detailed SS preamp (made you give up tubes)
The only linear gain transistor available to day is a SIT. There are no commonly available linear gain small signal transistors. The only substitute that has linear gain, is a small signal tube (9 pin, etc). or even as far as an octal, or 8 pin de... 
Does it annoy you when companies don't show the internals of electronics ?
Apologies, but.. (nothing personal, I’m just having a bit of fun and overstating my case) That is when art finally overtakes all sensibility in design and just... ruins it. Worse than a Bugatti Chiron as a ’transformer’ styled monster truck. I hav...

What is the Silliest Accessory You Have Ever Seen.
It’s mostly a case of people trying to find a way to go out the garage, or a different room, or outside for a drive, a ride or a long walk....etc.... for some quiet..and agreed upon peace... and find a way to get a hold of and control some small p... 
Does it annoy you when companies don't show the internals of electronics ?
They have no legal basis to cancel the warranty and it becomes a small claims court case, already decided by law, in your favor. At least in Canada. A box seal or a ’warranty void if sticker removed’, carries no legal weight in Canada. The governm... 
Is a 2.5 meter RCA phono run okay for an MC cartridge with an output impedance of 24 ohms?
When dealing with phono cables, shorter is always best. the signal is so tiny that physical parameters and their resulting complex dynamic LCR, under load, will tend to swamp the signal and distort or color the sound. Far more than would happen wi... 
Help! Spakers damaged during shipping?Paid insurance (with proof)being told not Insured?
Original shipping containers designed for shipping, packaging obtained from the original manufacturer, is the required minimum - for insurance on packages to be in effect. Otherwise... fraud would be the norm. Where people ship broken old unwanted... 
Why so many angry audiophiles?
It would take a week or two to clear it up and a periodic head on a pike on the ramparts (add flies to the visuals, if felt to be appropriate). Then it might ake the forum a month or two to get back up to speed. I’m not talking about banning, but ... 
I Was Considering Active, Then I Watched This ...
"Good enough" (a plateau by any measure): active Inveterate tweaker looking for the best (’peak audio’): passive It’s a really simple equation, in the end (with all the data points on the analysis table). 
Anyone buys master tape dubs ?
Master tape dubs are awesome. if you can get (good) one(s).  
Why so many angry audiophiles?
A lot of projection going on here. Part of the problem. A component of the human condition, but learning to realize it in every waking moment can make a notable difference in one’s sense of peace. And thus one’s missives will change. Age can take ... 
Electro-Voice E-V SIX
Styrene foam was used for a while in some drivers, around that time period..... as the new thing. as in, light, stiff. Some British drivers were also done that way, IIRC...right around the time of the switch from alnico to permanent ferrite magnets. 
Not Thrilled with Vandersteen 2CE Sigs - where is the first place to work on?
The Vandi 2 series tend to dance a lot better when you strip their clothes off, IMO. Just IMO, though. You might feel different.  One can try it out and see what they get, if they feel it is better, or not. As the speaker was designed with that so... 
The Intellectual People Podcast - Dr. Earl Geddes
I've heard of B&W, Kef, Wilson, Magico, Paradigm, PMC, Focal. But Earl Geddes? Never heard of speakers made by him, sorry. Perhaps you could provide a link to a stereophile review of his speakers for us? thanks for exposing your fundamenta... 
Morel MDT-33 soft dome tweeter
To swap out the domes, is just about all you can do, or buy a new matched pair of the modern equivalents. The 338. IIRC, the only way to get the matched pair of domes (they are sold in matched pairs) , is to buy the matched pair of tweeters, and t...
