Sonus Faber vs Wilson
I owned Wilson and SF.  My wife hated the looks of the Wilson speakers.  I had the SF Amati Tradition Homage speakers that I picked over the Alexx 1.  I thought they sounded better.  I also thought the SF speakers looked really good to go along wi...

Streamer vs. new mac mini for 2 channel system
Check out my ad on USA Audiomart for a U-1 mini.  I had it acting as a transport to my Lampizator Pacific DAC.  I have had 4 different Lumin products.  I love the App and the performance 
Viking Acoustic - Fantom speakers
@tvad - Call David Counsell.  He is hard to get a hold of and just listen to his story.  He can tell you all about the Tubemaster.  He is a wealth of speaker information. No pressure at all!!! 
Viking Acoustic - Fantom speakers
All are welcome.  You are welcome now if you want and we can set up anytime.  However, I am in the process of trying to order 16-18 Western Electric 300 B tubes for my amps.  I have to sell some stock first.  I am also trying to work with LMC and ...

An update on my yellow fuses that replace the SR orange.  I installed one in my Lampi Pacific and listened for a couple of days and slowly added one to my Pre-amp and Mono Amps.  At first blush there was an improvement in clarity so I was happy,  ... 
Viking Acoustic - Fantom speakers
When I went on my original cross country speaker search, I never thought I would end up buying a horn speaker.  Once I heard the AvantGarde Uno Fino it just totally changed my mind about horns.  So my journey changed to a horn search.  I had at le... 
DAC Shootout Starts This Weekend
This is a good shootout for those interested in DAC's at that price range although I wish the Op would include Lumin.  In my opinion, in that price range it will be hard to hear a discernible difference.  I had multiple Dac's in that range and unt... 
Horn speakers , high efficiency but not “shouty”

Lumin U1 Mini or Lumin T2 with Boulder 866
I have had a Lumin D2, A1, X-1 and the U-1 mini.  I love Lumin.  I was just using the U-1m ini as a transport while I was awaiting my music server.  I now have the music server so no longer need the U-1 mini which was only used for 4 months.  Send...

Just ordered 16 WE tubes for my Canary Audio Grand Reference Mono amps.  They are currently being tested and broken in prior to shipping to me.  I might order a couple of spares just in case.

Cable Goop Review George is going to freak!!
Has anyone used it on 300B tube pins?  I know it is a light coat but I don't want to gunk up the tube sockets.  I have 16 of them.  I have already applied to cords and cables.  If you paste the pins, do you just paste the tip?
