Tubes are consumables.........

Yes indeed they are.

Maybe i should have said it this way....I don't use them for just listening while I am browsing the internet, or casual listening...but I will use them in the evening,when I turn the lights out, relax in my chair and really get into the music...these are the times that I may use them.

These are great blues cans...I can't get enough.
@Sound Trooper suggested I get the suspension headband, which I did, very comfortable. i have no problem wearing heavy cans anyway, but the headband is pretty sweet.

Is it this one?https://www.minidisc.com.au/audeze-...Y7s5WidEkh1eInh81QAnTxAA1TrKjpnQaAi-6EALw_wcB

or the the carbon fibre headband?

Hopefully it's the cheaper one.

Yes, that is the one. I believe the only difference is one has carbon fiber and ones has spring steel.
That is the one @Sound Trooper recommended.

Yup, just get the normal steel suspension headband will do. I had the CF suspension headband before and was always paranoid of cracking it due to the weight of the cups. However the CF looks much nicer..

The LCD3 is not here yet. I'll get it next week. Those are photos sent to me by the seller.

Some of my round plates black glasses. Some are Ken Rad and National Union... the 4 on the right

The left 2 are a NOS pair of TS 12SL7gt that I paid for $99. Pristine condition with boxes. The next 2 are also 12SL7s that I paid for about $10 each. I like these on the GOTL with the increased gain.

Hi UT,
It appears to me that the NU and Ken-Rad tubes with black glass were made by their respective manufacturers and not by Tung Sol. The black RF shield looks different and is positioned differently.
Are you saying that they sound the same as the TS?

 

[UntilThen]

No of course not. When did I say that they sound the same?

 

[mordy]

No of course not. When did I say that they sound the same?

Hi UT,
Only asking since I don't have the BGRP NU or K-R and you grouped them together with the TS tubes in the picture.

For the fans of the blues,tonight its AKG K701s and

Found so much good blues with Roon Radio + Tidal. The software developers have done a good there with their AI matching algorithms. Currently listening to Charlie Musselwhite.

Ive been contemplating some of the hi-rez streaming services. However one of the primary types of music I listen to are 70's heavy rock,acid rock,proto metal,metal. In my metal music thread the other members report that none of the streaming services excel at uncovering little known bands,which is unfortunate as I would love to find an easy way to discover little known or up and coming bands from these genres.
