Is a high priced Line Conditioner needed
I, also, have two dedicated lines for my analog/tube system. Everything plugs into the Furutech outlets directly. If a Midwest thunderstorm shows up, I turn stuff off. The closest I could get to no sonic impact was a Brickwall. But, it sounds bett... 
Sophia Electric 91-01 and 91-5 300B
Yeah, about that separate thread. It seems Wfowenmd has some kind of hard-on about bad mouthing Sophia Electric. He is a single voice with a bad taste in his mouth and he's entitled to his opinion. Just understand there are FAR MORE positive comme... 
IMO the two best tracks to demo or test any system
If I played Celine Dion, I wouldn't care what anyone thought, I'd be in convulsions hoping to die. 
Sophia Electric tube quality
You're indicating you think Sophia's response was disrespectful or something. Buy tubes from Kevin Deal, then call him and say you were thumping on them and you think they're microphonic. His response will burn a tattoo on your ears with unchristi... 
Oldest piece of gear you own
My ears. They're 60.

What dealer/distributor has influenced you most?
Audio Elation in Montana. 
Low-Powered Tube Amp for Zu Soul MkII?
That amp already had the $200 cap upgrade. I'm curious, what other upgrades are you having done? Bass shouldn't be a problem, you're probably right about the speakers. Keep working with placement. Initially, it powered 90db 3-ways down to 32hz. Th... 
anybody modded a Sophia music baby?
I just sold mine earlier this week. I now have a Sophia el-34. I loved the sound of the Baby. My tech in Tennessee did the work with the cap upgrade I bought from Sophia. It made a big difference. 
Remember the year and first vynil you ever bought?
Dsper, my neighbors and I delivered newspapers to the house where Iron Butterfly lived, in San Diego, way before they were popular. 
Remember the year and first vynil you ever bought?
Beach Boys-Little Deuce Coup in 1963 when I was 10. 
Childproofing Speakers
Hotwire. A tried and true parenting phrase 'only once'. 
Why are Voodoo Cables not seen on Audiogon used?
Years ago, I talked with Bruce when they had only been in business I short while and he said much of his sales were overseas. Perhaps that's still the case. I used a number of his P/Cs. I liked them, but went other directions. 
Band's you have seen on their first U.S. tour
Everyone who played the San Diego Sports Arena, Golden Hall, the BUT or any other venue in the early 1970's.
