Well if one is good, two are better. I really like the CS Port.  
The $27,900 disappointment? Wilson Audio Watt Puppy 8 issues.
Well it may not be intentional but necessary given the drivers used and crossover design.

Would the ASR folks say if you cant measure the difference between the flutes there is no difference? Hard to think like these folks.   
Suggestions for Preamp Tubes
My favorite 6DJ8 has always been the Amperex early to mid 1960s production. Still reasonably priced. If you can get the tubes guaranteed to be noise and microphonics free. The tubes may not be to blame in regards to your system's bright quality.

Kennyc hits it on the head.  
What are your top 3 favorite turntable companies (manufacturer) and why?
Merrill-Williams Kuzma Townsend (older great value)  
Question for Atma-sphere, will expensive power cables improve your amplifiers?
Yes indeed. Believe me, I would rather spend less than more, but experience has taught me that often spending more pays dividends equal to or exceeding this extra expenditure. I dont understand the motive behind getting us to deny the validity of ... 
Question for Atma-sphere, will expensive power cables improve your amplifiers?

ASR, I think by design, takes a fairly extreme and militant stance precisely to get responses. Not a question of being pertinent rather one of being hard to ignore.  
The $27,900 disappointment? Wilson Audio Watt Puppy 8 issues.
Yes I agree with you. There seems to be some commonality between many of the very expensive floor standers in not only impedance but also in the material used to make the drivers. I am considering getting  250W transformer coupled tube monos to ex... 
Anyone familiar with Mullard 12AX7 10M tube ?
Well when these Mullards were made you didnt have components that really beat the tubes as some do now. All depends on the circuit I think.

I meant weird curve/low impedance speaker. Sorry! So you mention a demo which you didnt hear. I guess because Dave did this demo we should assume the sound was excellent. C'mon show us a bit of respect! Yes sarcasm from Mulv., but not very cleve...
