Delayed response - apologies - but he was deemed far too modernist and anti-Soviet after his opera Lady Macbeth of Mtsensk had been blasted by Stalin via the Pravda news outlet. He finished the 4th that same year in 1936 but it wasn't premiered until 1961 after Stalin was, as one reviewer put it, "dead, buried, and comprehensively decomposed."
@ArmchairPhilosopher FB support for mid & large size legacy products. would you consider adding a feature to the app to allow users to add non-FB legacy products to a stack by entering a serial number? All Schiit DACs to date have fixed output level for RCA & XLR outs, power amps like Aegir, Vidar, Tyr have fixed gain settings.
How does FB App wrt KaraF / Freya+F know which source is feeding a particular input?

He lived a very difficult life. I feel sorry for him. But Mozart - now he lived a terribly difficult life. And the way he died was absolutely awful. And there was a Bach. He lost many of his children.
There's a strong connection between tragedy and creativity.
Well, we get two prime rib roasts, around 80# of hamburgers, 10 tenderloin steaks and 10 NY strips, a Tri Tip, a Brisket, multiple round and shoulder roasts, sandwich steaks, around 10# of beef Tallow (well the fat to be rendered to tallow), about 10# of short ribs, and more… we’ve a dedicated freezer. 1/2 cow grass fed weighs in around 180# hang weight a side. We don’t have the space for two sides, alas.
Bismarck alone eats 1 pound of the ground beef a week in his homemade food (well mix with ground turkey and ground chicken, plus vegetables and his mineral/vitamins mixed in with bone broth -which we make from the bones of all the beef and / or chicken we eat.
So, technically we get two yorkie/roast beef meals a year… LOL
Thank you for the responses I've had, both on here, and those on Reddit.
Got a few things to think about, but nice to know from people that it does sound like I need a replacement Tube for now on the Vali 2. So will order one of those whilst I think about exactly what I want to do going forward.
They were sitting in their shipping cartons for 30 years… never got around to setting up a second system (you know: wife, kids, life…). I don’t know if their surrounds are still good or not, TBH; but Vandy’s are easy to repair and you can still get parts from Vandersteen (they will need new socks; my cat Floyd - the same one that blew up my Classe’ DR9 with a puked fur ball - managed to claw them pretty bad before she was fully trained). His plan is to test them out with some cheap-ass used amp, and if they sound good, then just re-sock them. If they don’t, the socks immediately come off for visual evaluation. It’s usually the woofer surrounds that decay…
Anyone ever notice that high end speakers are a lot like us, the degrade and rot over the long years?

I guess you can also look at it this way. You got a lot of enjoyment out of that tube, and now it is time to send it into retirement . Good luck with your new valve/tube, and your next steps on your audio journey.
My favorite has always been Beauastel’s from good vintage… had an excellent ‘85 Rayas which was sublime… I’m down to only a few dozen Chat’s left, alas. They are too expensive these days to replace, unfortunately. But that’s why one has a 1500 bottle cellar, after years of drawing down, one then only need build a 500+ bottle cellar by the time one is in one’s LAST house…
Doing some burn in /listening with a GE JAN 5670w I picked up a few weeks back. Only 3 tubes in my collection thus far including the stock, but I plan to rectify that soon.
While I do love my peanut butter, I like my fresh pretzels dipped in mustard (or a good cheese sauce) with an ice cold pint of lager with a good head on it.
