or should I power my cd player off when not in use, thanks

When warming up a tube amp do you need to run a signal through it or is it effective just to turn it on.

like the he6 maybe it takes a very high end rig to drive the beats well, has anyone ever thought of this ;

Concert by the sea by errol garner, anyone who has this is it just a really poor recording ? the cd sounds poorer than 128k mp3

in the picture on their website the two small tubes at the back have a wire running down them, that does it do and what is it called ? thanks

I know this has been asked before but that was a while ago and more options are available since then. Please recommend anything upto $2500 sound quality being the priority, also it must have usb input. some DACs i have been looking at so far   Ark mx+   Acre qb-9   Hegel HD20  ...

I just noticed that the neutrik plug on my t1 is very slightly bent, it doesnt seem to affect sound , is this a problem  ?

Are they a good company? anyone have experience with RFT EF80s? how do they compare to like telefunken etc

where its just a violin accompanied by a piano, like beethovens violin sonata no5 i like that piece very much!

how important is it to have pairs of tubes matched, what does a badly matched pair of tubes sound like ?

does anyone own/heard both ? Which one do you prefer

What do you think is the ugliest/coolest name for a headphone    my ugliest has to be the thunderpants + they are really ugly looking aswell 

Hi I listen to mostly classical music, in general does a typical tube sound or solid state sound work better for this genre ?   thanks
