Do you have any concern for the environment when keeping your equipment 24/7 ?
With my solid state class AB integrated I left on 24/7. With tubes I turn on only when using, but I must admit that’s more due to tube life vs environmental concerns. Which is pretty sad considering I’m one of the global warming believers. I feel ... 
Really...My favorite power tube is reissue that's not widely popular
Great to hear. Thanks! I should have mine by the end of the week and I'll follow up with a comparison to the stock EL34's.

tuberist...have you had a chance to do some comparisons? I purchased 8 for Primaluna Dialogue Premium HP amp. Looking forward to the comparison with the stock EL34's. 
What preamp are you using with Primaluna Dialogue Premium HP amp?
Whoops “wears off”  
Do posters intend to hurt the feelings of other members?
I tend to respond to threads as if it’s face to face commication. If I wouldn’t say it to a persons face I won’t type it. 
MORE Esoteric problems
I have owned Esoteric in the past, fortunately without issue, and had considered a newer Esoteric purchase but have reconsidered based on a number of similar threads to this. I’ll be at Axpona next month and I’d like to mention this to the those r... 
What preamp are you using with Primaluna Dialogue Premium HP amp?
I’ll go ahead and mention what I have used to date. I bought the Primaluna Dialogue Premium HP amp a couple of weeks ago. Since I didn’t have a dedicated preamp at the time I used the preamp outputs of my Yamaha AS3000 integrated amp. Sounded very...

Thanks for the heads up on this. What’s your opinion of the TS 7581A over a typical EL34? In other words what’s the 34 not doing as well as the 7581A? Thanks! 
What area or country do you live in ?

Tidal not working on mac mini
1967, I’m having the same issue with mconnect accessing tidal on my ps audio Directstream jr. I have the mconnect app on my iPad and iPod and has worked fine until today. Now tidal keeps asking me to log in with no success.  
Can You Identify My Mystery Planar Speakers?
I'm going to venture a guess and say Soundlab Dynastats. 
Notable very small loudspeaker companies (other than Tekton!)
+2 for Tyler Acoustics@twoleftears It’s been too long since I’ve listened to Dunlavys to compare, but the Tyler D2’s I owned were very open and clear sounding. Maybe not the deepest bass but top to bottom a great coherent speaker. I thought the pr... 
PS Audio Direct Stream JR
I’ve had my Jr for about a year now and tried it as a preamp a couple of months ago just to experiment. I typically use it as a D/A only into my Yamaha AS3000 integrated amp via balanced connection. Using the Jr’s preamp function I have to connect... 
Axpona 2018
laserjock1963I listened to the Revel F228be but I can’t give you too much info other than really liking them. Though not huge speakers I was sort of expecting them to overpower the room when I first walked in (why I thought that I have no idea) bu... 
Axpona 2018
This was my second year at Axpona and my buddy and I had a great time. Some of the brands I didn’t care for last year I thought sounded great this year. For example, last year I did not care for the MBL room but I was blown away this year. It soun...
