Type 80 Tubes
Just get an adapter and use a 5y3, it is electrically equivalent to the 80, just uses a different base.  
Designer in wall wiring - worth it?
@jea48  I looked this up at Dedicated audio, I don't know if they are correct, but it does say in the literature that it has a ground.  
Designer in wall wiring - worth it?
@jea48  it says it right here  Hidden Treasure in-wall AC power cable provides high-performance AC power distribution intended to be used from your house breaker to the wall outlet. It features three 10 AWG stranded copper conductors plus a groun... 
Designer in wall wiring - worth it?
@jea48  this is the one I was looking at, and it does say it has a EGC. Industry Compliances:   UL 1569 UL 44 ICEA S-95-658/NEMA WC70 UL Type MC-600 volts, UL File # E90496 NEC Type XHW-2 conductors Flame Test Compliances:   IEEE 383 (70...

@jea48 as far as I know the audience hidden treasure in wall cable has all the proper certifications to pass an inspection.  
Things you did not know about what is inside your speakers and the Huge markups
I would think that most of the high end audio speaker manufacturers do it for profit and not for practice, of course you can match or exceed their performance in a diy design, but try doing it for profit.  
Looking For A New Tube Integrated Amp With Very Specific Features
@freediver you haven't specified if you want a differential balanced amplifier or just balanced inputs and outputs.    
When a power cord could obviously affect SQ
@bruce19  you are correct that it should be addressed in the circuit design, but no circuit is perfect.  
When a power cord could obviously affect SQ
@erik_squires  Frank is correct about the cathode being directly connected to the AC if he is using AC filaments. A 2A3 is a directly heated tube, so the filament and the cathode are one and the same.  
How many watts do you really need?
@blackbird55 there aren't any amplifiers that have 600 watts of class A power, at least not statically biased class A.  
How many watts do you really need?
@roadcykler  the Gryphon amplifiers are high bias class  A/B amplifiers, they do not stay in class A up to 800 watts into 2ohm loads they slide into class A/B. You would need a standing bias current of over 14 amps to accomplish this, it would dra... 
A fresh approach to cable analysis
@mclinnguy I couldn't have said it any better.  
The Shunyata Research OMEGA-X-Ethernet Cable
@frank009  why do you care if someone wants to spend money on high end audio cables, I think you are here to just stir the pot. Your other thread already has been removed, so move along.  
The Shunyata Research OMEGA-X-Ethernet Cable
Most Ethernet cables don't even meet spec, fluke tested many of them several years ago and this was their finding.

@chrisoshea  I thought bass was a fish.
