Whatever happened to Ultech
Wow, satellite pics and everything. Impressive folks. Now I know more than I ever expected. 
Whatever happened to Ultech
I am fascinated to hear about the details and the demise of this manufacturer. Thanks for the responses. 
Preamps paired with DNA 225 or other McCormacks
Has anyone tried preamps such as the Joule Electra 100MKII or MKIII? What about the First Sound Presence Deluxe II or higher? 
Mods for Audio Research preamps????
I think that Great Northern Sound are specialists in this topic. On that, most of the upgrades or mods you can expect go back to replacement and tweaking of some sort...but the circuitboard itself remains the same. So, there are upgrades or replac...

Arcam A85 / EPOS ESL3's sounding too Bright
If it was a cable that produces edginess, I was referring to the speaker cables and not the interconnects. Monster cables for wiring are known to be edgy. 
Tube pre for Forte 4a
How can I forget, the Bent Noh is having favorable reviews across the Audiocircle forum. Even MSRP is below your target range, I have seen used ones for about $850, if they are to be found. 
Tube pre for Forte 4a
What about an older pass linestage, from the Aleph series? It can be passive and active should you wish, it seems that it is one with the best compromise if you doubt that passive can satisfy you...because there is always an element of doubt. The ... 
Arcam A85 / EPOS ESL3's sounding too Bright
If the tweeter is the culprit, you can add some sort of "sponge" ring or audio foam just above and below the tweeter, this solution might tame an overly aggressive tweeter. As I said before, cabling might be adding to the problem. 
Problem on Sonic Frontiers Line 3
Swap the tubes as Marakanetz said. If that is no help, then I can think about any distributors, reputable ones of Pathos gear that might have the expertise and contacts with them to get your preamp looked over. Pathos makes tubed gear integrated w... 
Older Nakamichi Gear ?? Stasis ??
I have owned a Stasis Amp, the PA-7. The Stasis and Class A output gave a nice warm sound that was also very dynamic. Strangely enough, in their second appearance, as in the Model IIs, as Viggen pointed out, several people state that the sound is ... 
Arcam A85 / EPOS ESL3's sounding too Bright
The speaker cable can definetly be the suspect. Perhaps someone can recommend a better set. But then, did the EPOS ELS sound a little lean on the Stereophile review? I cannot recall. 
Harbeth Compact 7ES vs Tyler Acoustics Taylo Refs?
Perhaps design execution and other aspects, rather than specific drivers used up to K point speaker system does not really matter. Some designs, designers and lines have become classic as the ProAcs and also the Harbeth lines, something which the ... 
Stupid Question: How to take out tubes??
Dennis the Menace...They supposed can cut short the life span of the tube...but honestly, I do not know the chemical reaction and how the fingerprint grease can get into the vacuum inside of the tube, therefore, I am still puzzled at the advice. I... 
Help build my new system
I second the choice of 47 Labs gear. I myself am the proud owner of both the Shigaraki integrated and also the Shigaraki transport. I have not tried the Gaincard but I am intrigued by it. I have been following your system developments and choices ...
