Tube amps under $7500
I had a Rogue ST-100 for a minute. It sounded terrible on my speakers, which are extremely accurate. I understand that Rogue overdrives the power tubes so you must constantly replace them at about six months. I have two Prima Luna Dialogue Premiu... 
Anyone listen to entire albums?
I started buying albums in the late 1960's. I never just listened to one side. I always play all sides in order. Think of it as an artistic creation. The album was conceived with all the songs (not necessarily a concept) in the order in which they... 
Tubed preamps and Power amps- How old is too old???
I've owned a CJ PV6 for 40 years. It has been in constant service. The CJ tech replaced/upgraded the caps to their new type in 2017. I played it 8-12 hours a day since it returned having been blessed by CJ. I just have had to replace the tubes. It... 
Ultrasonic cleaning
I use the Rush Paul method slightly modified: https://positive-feedback.com/audio-discourse/rushton-paul-diy-approach-ultrasonic-cleaning-lps/ I've deviated slightly (Triton -X100, 99% isoproful, just RO water in the US tank), but I am thri... 
For Your Edification and Enjoyment re "Burn In", etc.
@millercarbon And that is more respect than this pompous and bass ackward comment deserves. That’s a joke. He doesn’t respect anyone except himself. 
The Lifespan of an LP?
@millercarbonThe sage of Agon. You can always count on him to explain the basics, because that's all that he know. 
Most rooms don’t need acoustical treatment.
@coachpoconnerMillercarbon- What does “As soon as we move from the hypothetical home of the scoundrel to the particular home of the individual then acoustic treatment can suddenly matter a lot.”On what planet do you exist? Why was it important to ... 
Is my anti-skating too strong.
There he is in all his glory. Chuck Miller making the reader feel small and insignificant as he pontificates his supreme and omnipotent expertise.  
What are all these metal cans/pods sitting on top of electronics?
@rushfan71 I use 1 pound bags of cannabis. Yeah, but the bags keep getting lighter everyday  
Audio Research VT80SE amp vs Prima Luna EVO 400 or 300
@ rushfan71 has it down. I have the PL DP HP's also and I drive 85 db speakers with ease. It's linearity mates well with the linear impedance of my speakers. By rolling the 12AU7s, as he says, you can have everything you want. The point to point w... 
Which Speaker
Before Mr. Tekton (MC) holds sway, you may want to look at these. https://www.sound-smith.com/speakers/monarch-bookshelf-speakersYou might be surprised that they could be better. He'll never admit it though. 
My hearing deficits are becoming clear...
@whitestix I’ve recently acquired the Resound (well reviewed by CR) behind the ear hearing aids with the receiver in the ear. They are very good all things considered. The audiologist made a program for TV and another for Music. The aids only go u... 
Why so many angry audiophiles?
MC it looks like Will Ferrel is playing you! 
Why so many angry audiophiles?
@cal3713  Bravo! Well Said. I agree with you whole heatedly. The only trouble is the people you are talking about won't read your post, ignore it or just flat won't understand it. 
Why so many angry audiophiles?
There are trolls that purposely attempt to disrupt a conversation with misinformation given in an authoritative context. They can then argue their point until the opposition wears down and capitulates. I’ve been involved in a few of those and yes,...
