New KT150 tubes?
I think it's lame to design a tube amp that doesn't allow you to easily see the tubes...The Rogers EHF 200 gets my vote for current KT150 design champ. 
Turntable on suspended floor - shelf or braces?
Not sure is this is relevant, but I bought an older but clean Linn table a few years back and stuck on top of my rack where it was NOT happy...then (of course) read the "official" manual which suggested a lower firm table and it's worked perfectly...

The true value of this thread is that it allows Bo1972 to post amazing things about which others can derive pleasure from responding to. One needs to see beyond the vacuity of the original post to appreciate the art of what should now be referred ...

Diatribalist. I think that's the apt term here...

I have RCF drivers in Mackie and EAW (they own Mackie or Mackie owns them...something) speakers, and Yorkville is one of the best pro audio companies out there. I have a strong reaction to what I consider bullcrap which has little or nothing to do...

I hope Bo1972 never stops...seriously, it's like some demented poetry...ahem: "When an audio system plays in full 3D you see a much bigger smile on the faces of people. To create a higher level of blacks makes instruments and voices come alive. Cr...

To expand on what Macrojack says, and because I enjoy addressing this dude: Bo1972 is apparently unable to comprehend the message from others that his absolutist stance on exactly what comprises good sound is annoying and makes him seem like a foo... 
New KT150 tubes?
Wait...it's been another 2 days of waiting for Kal's testing results...I can't handle the suspense...I'm in audio LIMBO...

Short cable issues, woofer "speed" myths, bizarre testing claims, and yet another suggestion of what people "should" listen to based on unsubstantiated nonesense. It just doesn't get any better around here. 
What direction should Hi Fi tune fuse be installed
Item number 2 in my Get Rich Quick scheme: A unidirectional fuse! That's right...along with my previously mentioned "Deconfuser" testing apparatus, I plan to market a fuse to the confused that can be used in either direction with less chance for f...

Raw data becomes cooked data once it enters your head, or at least it's refried. 
What direction should Hi Fi tune fuse be installed
My question remains, what live sound are we talking about? The sound of Esperanza Spaulding at Sculler's in Cambridge with Joe Lovano? Because at THAT show you couldn't hear her bass tone definition (bad sound mixer who should have been shot), and... 
What direction should Hi Fi tune fuse be installed
I'm gonna reverse the direction of all the fuses in my rig, listen to it, reverse some of them, reverse the other ones, re-reverse the previously reversed ones, and then return the entire thing to its non reversed state. Allowing for reversal and ... 
What direction should Hi Fi tune fuse be installed
Almarg knows things. This is good. The topic of "what live music sounds like" kills me. What we hear is influenced by personal perception that is individualized by ear wax, your hat, your background including mommy issues and environmental influen... 
What direction should Hi Fi tune fuse be installed
I know what live music with no amplification sounds like...it's less loud, unless it's in your face..."get that damn bassoon out of my ear you FREAK." I also know what my acoustic guitar sounds like when I play it, except the only way to know what...
