New to the forum and the high-end IEM scene - borderline audiophile and progressing steadily in that direction. Looking forward to joining you all at the meet-up.
 
Also, being in Phoenix, can anyone recommend some shops that carry high-end IEMs that I can sample? Thanks.

Can't say that I know many shops. IEMs are difficult to sample due to medical reasons (as most businesses would suggest). However, most online dealers (Headroom and Amazon) usually offer a guarantee so you can make a return if you don't like the product.

They're used for testing vacuum tubes. Good for finding out if a tube is OK or going bad. Back in the day, when vacuum tubes were used in radios and TV's, rudimentary testers were
located even in grocery stores. You could bring in a questionable tube, plug it in and test it, and even pick up a replacement. Imagine; a loaf of bread, a gallon of milk, and a 12AX7
at the checkout lane. Of course, I wasn't around then. I just read about it.
