Power conditoner..
I’m so pleased with the PP that I use 2 of them. I can hear the improvements with them. The larger one is used for my 300B monoblocks and tube preamp. I can similarly hear improvements with my Studer RTR. The smaller regenerator is for my paired s... 
Is it possible for a high end manufacturer to overprice their goods?
Like beauty, art, and a good movie, isn’t overpricing in the eye if the beholder?   
Experiences Selling Stuff On Audiogon?
Gon 👍🏼, especially for high end equipment. eBay was disappointing.   
Accurate and revealing subwoofer
I’ve a pair of Rhythmic F12SE used with single driver Voxativ Ampeggio speakers. Front end is Revox A810 RTR and Dr. Feickert TT with Ikeda and Dynavector MC cartridges. Integration was easy and the results are detailed and musical. The Rhythmic F... 
Wayne's Audio Turntable Periphery Stabilizing Outer Ring
I’ve had two is Wayne’s heaviest weight rings — one for several years and would not buy again. I used with a Dr. Feickert Firebird TT. The TT has 3 motors for the platter. The improvement in sound is modest — if any. The ring is a hassle to mount ...

The 300B World
The rectifier tube should be a consideration in 300B SET build.  
Reel to Reel Machine for 15 ips playback
Consider a restored Studer A810 from http://www.reeltoreelhaven.com/ The Otari MX series are very nice, but the differences c/w Studer in sound, build, and transport are evident. It’s a B quality versus A quality comparison.       
What was the most impactful addition to your system?
I’m happy for you Scott. You’re another verification that we are a community.   
Speakers that are good with tubes
Consider a high quality single driver speaker like Voxativ, if you’re searching for musical speed and detail — especially with 300B driven SET. Zu audio can be driven nicely with a low power amplifier but offers more bass with its powered woofer.  
Vinyl - One Word - WOW!!
As already mentioned by a colleague here, open RTR is so good that it is a new best analog experience for most of us — even gray beards like me. It is not inexpensive and as much of a pain as vinyl. But the reproduction quality explains why restor... 
GIK room treatments
Hearty 👍🏽  
They still seem to be a hot mess
I do appreciate your perspectives. But do not understand how supply chain matters  compromise your customer service. No call back to a customer — after multiple phone and email attempts — is contrary to best practices in business at stressful time...

The Queen  — Nina Simone  
For those of you who had spent over hundred thousand dollars for your sound system.
I’ve spent over $100K in ~15 years without regrets. My expensive and immersive experimentation was a joy. Sometimes I made good progress— sometimes I took a step back. Even if starting from scratch tomorrow, I’m still uncertain what I’d buy. There...
