Tom Petty's Wildflowers in HiFi sounds spectacular on KEF LS50 Meta
Yes, you're only supposed to listen to that album set on LS50's.  lol 
Anyone prefer EL34 over 300B?
I’ve never understood the Tekton formula of 4ohm speakers with higher than average sensitivity. I suppose it allows you to be reasonably compatible with a large number of amps but not gorgeously compatible with anything in the lower power SET/300B...

You omitted the speaker's you're using which is a huge part of the synergy.   
Put that in your pipe(s) and smoke it
Remember - Whining isn’t winningEven in sports no one likes a whiner.  The worst ones I can think of are John McEnroe and Tom Brady.  Great players but whining just tarnished a bit of the shine sadly. 
Amplifier warm up
It's certainly been my experience that noisy AC lines are a culprit for variability in sonics along with warm up time.  With all my gear over the years 1 hr seems to do it for warm up benefits...more just doesn't help much for my ears.  But the ti... 
Another Bass discussion...
I can completely see how a pair of subs would be a necessity with a pair of B&W standmounts.   
Phonostage recommendations under $3K
@mulveling The "$10K performance for $3K" theme is go-to rhetoric MC uses when referring to the Herron in numerous threads.  I can both read and comprehend.  Anyone can.https://i.postimg.cc/5yhVmT8r/10KBS.jpg  
1st Post Intro & Ramblings
It's exhausting reading MC drone on and on about how much he knows and the musical magic he can extract out of chewing gum wrappers and a paper clip as if he were a musical MacGyver. This theme permeates every thread he contributes to.  I read thi... 
Budget Tube Preamp ($2000)
I don't advise on separates as they're too low value for me. Question: so why even post on this thread? Answer: to promote your agenda of what should be the best approach to audio and to promote the brands you like (even if you've never owned).

Good luck. When my search was narrowed down to a few contenders I started looking at used. Never did see a Herron for sale. Saw one that had sold the day it was listed and before I started looking. Then kept looking a good 6 months after decidin... 
New Melody Gardot release
On Qobuz I noticed this album is streamed as FLAC 44.1kHz 16bit and yet they classify it as "Hi-Res".  I think this is the first title I've seen labelled Hi-Res on Qobuz that wasn't 24bit.  Is there something I'm missing on how Qobuz categorizes t...

Kuzma 4 Point Tonearm
I have a 4Point9 and it was a major upgrade from the Stogi S I was using.  Much more impactful sound on the same table. It simply maintains the stylus so well inside the groove. The 4 point design is genius and punches well above its cost.  While ... 
1st Album you Ever Owned?
Not sure on album but I clearly remember my first 45 - I was 4 years old and picked out The Beatles "Yellow Submarine" with "Eleanor Rigby" on the B side.  I listened to it a million times on my plastic lidded TT that sat on a wire rack. 
Lampizator to which dedicated music streamer?
I ended up pairing my Lampi with a Lumin U1.  Very happy with it.
