Bookshelf or stand mount help please
I might get fried for this but I would get a good blutooth speaker rather then assemble a budget system.  
Willsenton R35i Integrated Amp with EL34 tubes
Some amps have too close a tolerance for the red leds. As long as it resets, you are good. The fact that it is mostly green says you are in range.  
Recommendations for a new 2-channel amp
Rogue Sphinx V3 magnum with Gold Lyon upgraded tubes. You will not find a more musical amp. This amp can play with the big boys.  
Yamaha RN-2000a
You are just SOL on a FM stereo receiver. Same with the Yamaha, no FM. I think you would be better off with a nice powerful integrated amp and a separate music streamer. Can I recommend a Musical Fidelity M6si paired with a Cambridge streamer. The... 
Infinity RS 1B - How does the 'old dream speaker' compare to today's speakers?
I have two pairs of RS1B woofer towers, and I have been listening to Infinity EMIMs and EMITs for decades. They are still pretty good but I needed a change after all these years so I have been listening to other speakers. I really like my Triangle... 
DIfferences in Philips Miniwatt 12AU7

Stereophile spec measurement baffling(pun?)
Usually to help define woofer roll-off.  
Speakers low pitch humming, is it normal, or real issue with preamp?
I can hear the hissing and humming noise when I keep my ears close to speakers, so is it normal that any preamp will produce this kind of noise (even without any input cable)? Or is it an issue with my item? Sorry I am a perfectionist. Complete... 
Looking to upgrade my Goldenear Triton ones. Need help
Triangle Signature Deltas. Beautiful midrange and a presentation you will never tire of.  
Audio Fantasies
I used to. I had a system in mind starting with a pair of Infinity electrostatics, the . Servo Statik 1A. Since that time I'm more interested in quaint little systems for near field listening. Don't think stand-mounted bookshelves, my mono system ... 
Fezz vs Raven
I'd be more inclined to buy more main stream products. Maybe a PrimaLuna with a Music Hall table.  
Help needed with new integrated amp.
Any Maggie 1.7 or larger have true ribbon tweeters that are hard to beat .  You need the 2.7 or above for the ribbon tweeter models.  
Gold coated brass speaker spades
Brass is just copper with some zinc tin for hardness. Copper is a better conductor but you got better ears than me if you can tell the difference.
