Reliability of tubes/ Belles 150A vs Jolida 801A?
I have owned the 150 hr/ the 150a ref and the 350a ref. Each amp is a good step above the other; as you move up their line.i.e. the 150 hr sounded like a toy; (well almost) after I got the 150a ref----Same exact thing when I got the 350a ref. This...

I have a pair of speakers w/ sep. bases. (SAP Quattros) They have side fireing woofers.The woofers are supposed to face each other. When I reverse the lowers and have them fire to the sides I get the feeling I may do foundation damage---and--- wit... 
Receiver with preouts vs pre/pro
Well I'm no rhodes scholar; (If my post was unclear.) BTW the best 3 years of my life was the time I spent in the second grade.I own the Onkyo 875 and with the new audio codecs it sounds better than my previous 3k receiver; and this 875 was under ... 
Is the market changeing?
Ok, it doesn't require advice from Allan Greenspan/ or his replacement/ to understand things. We,'philes make up such a small % of the population---and we're not talking staples like house/home/transportation/food and the like. We now have so many... 
Receiver with preouts vs pre/pro
Truth be told most all the higher end receivers have had pre outs for years. With the changes in the formats; better to buy an expensive receiver and change that out w/o loosing the money that folks lose on high end processors.---(Just to stay wit...

What power cord are you using? That too makes a lot of difference. I too have this one box player. Heck, I don't know whether one should address the ic or the pc; first. I run (the older) SR/active ic cable along with a VD master 2 pc.

Power cord = steroids for a component--
Way back when the K.C. was new/hot I gave 1600 for mine and loved what it did. Then after the price came down I bought a second one. (cd player and pre.)I sure gave some thought to the Hilix but their best is 'round 15/17. This VD I got for 9 bill...

Does anyone have Magnum XM tuners?
Well here I am 5 days later and I guess my Polk has burned in;some.For me content wins out over quality. (I can't believe I just said that.) I guess I have gotten over the shock of down-rezz-ing for xm. Altho I can say it does sound so much better...
