impact of room treatment
I'm also giving this some thought but really want to find something that looks as good as it works. My setup is in my living room so I need my room treatments to look like ART. Suggestions? 
What Are The Best 12AT7's and 12AX7's?
Has anyone tried the Sophia Electric 12AX7's? I bought a pair of their 6SN7's for my Modwright LS100 and they are beautifully made and excellent sounding tubes, far surpassing the stock tubes that came with the unit. I'm considering trying their 1...

That was fun. Thanks! 
Comparison of Devore silverbacks vs harbeth 40.1
I wonder if there isn't something going on elsewhere in your signal chain or/and room interface. While I've never directly compared the M40.1 with the Silverbacks I did audition both when I was in the market for speakers. I heard the Silverbacks a... 
What Are The Best 12AT7's and 12AX7's?
Thanks everyone so far. I'm currently running the tubes that came with the unit. Svetlana 12AX7's and Electro Harmonics 12AT7's. How do these tubes compare with some of those favorites mentioned? What kind of sonic impact can I expect from rolling...

Audio Fidelity Gold CDs
Two worth getting are Bad Company (if you can find one) and James Taylor One Man Dog. Both sound excellent.

Speakers with wide listening window
One suggestion would be to find a used pair of Daedalus DA-1's. They are specifically designed to provide excellent off-axis response. I had pair until I upgraded to the DA-1.1's and loved them. Nice speaker, very coherent, musical and warm with g... 
Dynavector 20X H vs DV 20X M 1mv for VPI
I went from the 20XH to the 20XM on my Scout and found the differences minimal. Perhaps slightly greater detail and speed but this may have been more what I expected to hear rather than what I actually heard. If you like what you have I'd stick wi... 
better phono stage
To beat a dead horse and join the bandwagon I would also suggest you consider the Herron. I didn't try a slew of options before purchasing mine but have never thought of replacing it since I put it in my system. Keith is one fine person to deal wi... 
Harbeth Compact 7ES ll in a large room
I ran a pair of Compact 7ES2's with a Rel Stadium II or III? (also ran the Strata III on loan before buying the Stadium) in a room that was 15 wide by 23 long and opened into a hallway and a dining room on one side. I first ran the Harbeth's witho... 
Power cable for Modwright
You might also check with Dan (or your dealer) since they would probably have lots of experience with different cables and how they work with your electronics. 
Power cable for Modwright
I'm using a KWA150 and LS36.5 and played around with power cables for quite a while before choosing Empirical Design. I've got several posts here describing in detail some of the cables I tried in the process including Audience, JPS Labs, Bolder a...
