Guess who has new speakers in their lab?
For those by the way who recommended OP to go sunshine instead of discussing here with enthusiasm , i remind them that the OP is disabled and probably cannot easily go to see outside if more interesting people walk the street ... I was not awar... 
Anyone ever have, use or hear this tube?
Yeah, anything labeled for lab equipment and such used the tested cream of the crop. And you pay for those little letters and stickers! @audioman58 , You think you’re the only one with tube knowledge and experience? I’m well aware of where nos t... 
Should we care if a piece of equipment comes from a pet-free, kid-free, smoke-free home?
@hilde45  +2!  
Anyone ever have, use or hear this tube?
Thanks, David. I have about 14 pair of 12au7 variants. CBS /Hytron one of my favorites. Mullard CV4003 is another good one. Telefunken red tips labeled for Tektronix equipment, Westinghouse 337 a surprisingly good tube if you can find them, Ampe... 
If you have a nice system why do you really need room treatments?
You have a 20x20 rug in an 20x18 room?🤔

@wharfy , Yes, I forgot to mention they are coated with a black rfi/emi shielding. They were made I think for a single specific company. If you did any tube rolling in the Cayin, how did they compare to other, less expensive tubes? Thanks!

"Based on most posts here, the average audiophile has no kids, no pets, and no sense of humor." No kidding! Good humored sarcasm, irony and facetiousness are totally lost on a lot of guys here...Not thread here, forum here.

I can’t keep up. Is woke a good or bad thing? It sounds like it should be a good thing, but I don’t think it’s used that way. Is there some ironic twist using that word? Like, people who are 'woke' only think they are when they're actually the op...

@mahler123 , 🤔😂

Did you even bother looking at it when you realized what you did??  
Could Class D really be that good?
@pindac , That's terrific! Thank you for taking the time to search this up.

No pet dander, no smoke residue, no kids knocking stuff over whether damage is visible or not. Great selling point to me! One thing I see occasionally is the equipment is set up next to a fireplace.  If it's wood burning, that's worse than the ...

I have also made known on this forum in another thread about a Import Chinese Origin, Four Box Modular Class D Power Amp compared to a £50K Soulution Power Amp on a £200K system, or £150 400 system with the Import Amp. @pindac , What is the na... 
Stereophile review of the $30,000 tekton speakers
$30k what??  
Stereophile review of the $30,000 tekton speakers
I posit that if 4 holes can make the speaker go super sonic, then drilling 16 holes in the bottom of it will enable it to attain mach4, thus besting the SR71 in speed. I wonder if Tekton R&D has tried this? I’ll email him and ask...he seems t...
