What just happened to accepting Paypal?? looks like they are trying to drive us away
Audio Mart is underrated.  I don't get why anyone would want to fork over another unnecessary fee for what should be a free service.  
Amazon just killed Tidal
The way I see it - this kicks up the competition few notches.  God bless capitalism.  I paid $249.99/year @ Qobuz which I think is still too much. It should be ~ $10/month (gut feel, nothing else). I love Amazon for the fact that it equalizes pric...

Not only you - according to Tabu, everyone is gay on this post (except me, I just joined). 
Tube Recommendation for ARC Ref Phono 2SE
Hi-Thanks. Googled the 6H30 DR's - ~$300 a piece.  Yipes, but I don't doubt that they sound great.  Any special place you got them?
