Feel like I'm outta my mind....
You need to get a vocal reinstatement device.  
Rogue Audio. Reliability issues? Anyone?
For the record (is there a record?) I've owned both tube and SS gear for a long time and although there have surprisingly few issues with either one, I can easily say that tube gear has been more reliable by far, and to say otherwise is blasphemy.... 
Speakers sounding dull? MUST READ! The truth about speaker design!
Is it "Incoherency" day? I must have missed the announcement...  
Can we create a consensus list of the TONALITY of different amps/preamps/brands?
"Tonality" is relatively unspecific as it's in the ears of the listener, and except for tonal extremes due to bad design there's not much to hang your hat on that's useful. "Tube-like" without tubes is overused often (tubes are also claimed to be ... 
Speakers sounding dull? MUST READ! The truth about speaker design!
I think the wheels came off this stuff as soon as it hit the forum. Kind of a waste of time to read any of this other than it seems like a parody of an actual relevant audio discussion.   
Do You Clean Your Ears?
So I can assume Kenjit is part of the "unclean ear" group. Clearly.  
What is the most challenging music to play on a stereo?
Mumblecore or solo zither. Or maybe anything you're familiar with? It doesn't matter what sort of music you play to test a rig other than you know what the hell it's supposed to sound like, and can then judge if the rig is playing it accurately.   
Goodbye Everyone
Waddaya mean A'gon isn't a "warm" forum? That's a pile of crap! Get the hell outta here!  
Considering A 20-40 Watt Stereo SET Amp
I used my Had Firebottle SEP with 90db or so speakers and it worked fine...you could test the distortion by cranking it but meh...it's a wonderful amp. 10 to 17 watts pc allegedly depending on tubes used, and it will work with a lot of different t... 
First Watt J2 & speaker pairing ?
I have a Pass XA-25 and it didn't have any discernible break-in time except for the "sounds best after an hour warmup" thing, and it's the best sounding SS amp I've ever heard over many decades owning of all sorts of amps. I also use a Had Firebot... 
The best part about MQA bankruptcy..
A bankruptcy isn't necessarily the end and it certainly isn't going to stop a hit like Tidal.  
speaker cables under 1k for Harbeth 30.2XD?
The newer version of Kimber 8PRs are amazing sounding and a bargain.  
First Watt J2 & speaker pairing ?
Read the reviews of J2s and you'll get al the guidance you need.  
Is it time that Klipsch Heritage marketing a subwoofer?
I use 2 REL subs from the "Q" era bought "previously owned" for peanuts. A Q150e and a Q108MK2 that work perfectly with a pair of Heresy IIIs. The REL thing (and some other subs seemingly) called "high level," using the speaker outputs instead of ... 
Is soundstage DEPTH a myth?
If when hearing a well sorted hifi system playing, for example, orchestral music, and you don't heard depth you should simply find something else to do. Engineers use panning and level to great effect in producing recordings with realistic sound s...
