Highest BUILD quality tube amps?
I have 3 pair of Quicksilver mono amps and they are super reliable, never had a problem plus they are very musical. Since I have them I forgot about all of my audiophile manias and now I simply enjoy music... 
Have you ever hated the sound of your system one day, and loved it the next?
I completely agree with  onhwy61, there are may factors that influence our ability to hear, especially after 45/50, just an extra glass of wine may make a noticeable difference... 
Looking for a Speaker Recommnedation
Try the Tekton Pendragon's (I own a pair) for $2,000 or the new Tekton Double Impact for $3,000. I agree with mthowe comments. 
Do they make a quiet great sounding phono pre amp??

Parasound JC2 compatibility with Quicksilver v4's
Thank you everyone! I think it makes a lot of basic sense to bring the JC2 and try it with the QS's 
What's up with the ridiculous offers?!?
I think there are many low-ball offers around, but also many sellers asking for unrealistic prices (I am not implying that you are one of them!). I understand is hard to swallow the loss when you are selling an equipment you bought new and you too... 
Zu Omen or Tekton Lore
The Zu Omen sound like hi-fi, the Tekton sound like music, closer to the real event; I always found the Omen to bright despite the amp. I finally got the Pendragon's, amazing speaker
