Audio Research CA50 + tube rolling
The driver tubes have to be matched and the voltage adjusted when they are changed. The procedure may be in the manual. I dont think you can just swap out the tubes. 
Advice on Mono-Blocks without breaking bank
I have adagios also. I recently got stratos monos in khartago cases which do an outstanding job. Wide and deep soundstage and very nice base.The khartago cases make the amps easier to place and manage. I use an audio research ref 1 preamp and camb... 
alternative to apple tv?
I use the apple tv exactly the way you do and have had it over a year. What you were told is nonsense. Any computer can suffer a crash and the apple tv is a computer. There are instructions for rebooting in the manual or you can pull the plug for ... 
The Best Amp for the Price of Dirt
It's warmed up in Texas and my room is already sweltering when I run my AR cassic 60. I decided to look for a warm weather amp for cheap. I found an audiosource tripath amp. It came today and so far it's sounding quite nice. I got it here on audio...

Acquiring an awesome system, but how?

Periphery Ring Clamp & Cartridge Compatibility?
I have a similar issue with a vpi ring. This is my second ring. I sent the first one back to vpi to get one less magnetic. I use a benz ruby 3 and it is pulled out by the ring. If I lower very carefully it will be pulled out just enough to land in...
