| Spotify Premium vs Tidal ... opinions? Given the music genres you are interested in there are not a lot of high-quality recordings. That is not a slight on the Op at all it just means that Spotify would probably be sufficient. That said, Spotify is good, Tidal is better and Qobuz is ... | |
| Linlai E 6sn7 tubes I recently purchase 6 Tung-Sol Black Plates 6SN7 tubes for my Canary Audio Grand reference 300B mono amp. These are NOS tubes from the 50's. This amp also has 16 Western Electric 300B tubes so I am very particular about what goes in my system. ... | |

| Fuse Direction for Pass Labs Amp and Preamp Op...you really need to try one fuse at a time. Otherwise, you won't know which component sounds good or bad. My beef with SR is that they don't tell you the direction. With QSA fuses they do. I have all QSA yellow fuses in my system. | |

| Your thoughts on my quest for new speakers If you live in NJ then you owe it to yourself to call Brian Charney from Charney Audio. Go listen to his speakers. | |
| The New Synergistic Research Purple Fuses @highstream ---it almost sounds like you still may not have them in the right directions. That is my big complaint about SR. If you have multiple fuses it is hard to discern which one in right and notright. Trial by error....one fuse at a time. | |
