Should i move rack to sidewall?
I've pondered the same question after reading GBS. I've mostly had my rack (or in my other house a large entertainment center) between the speakers and have wondered to what degree it is impacting the sound quality of my system. Though I have neve... 
Speaker Cables for Harbeth P7ES-3 -where to start?
I'm a former C-7 owner and agree with what has been said above. I bought mine in England while living there for a year and had them connected to a crappy Japanese receiver with some old Monster cable for a few months before bringing them home--the...

Clearaudio Ovation
I was hoping to get to John's for that event but I had other plans that could not be changed. Thanks for sharing your observations! 
Esoteric K-03/Plinius CD-101
Steelhead:As a X03SE owner and K03 wannabe I'd love to hear your views following a comparison of the two units. Please scratch that itch and set up a listening session with both and get back to us! 
Best Stand for Harbeth 7ES-3 Compact
I used custom made Target three posts with mine (19") but I'm sure the Skyland stands or Sound Anchors are equally good. Let the height be determined by your listening chair and seating position. One suggestion is to make sure the top of the stand... 
ARC LS-27 or ARC ref-3
Woooaaah. Bifwynne--why such urgency in your post? This isn't a race. I'm sure both pieces are nice and the differences between them are relatively small. ARC sells lots of units and updates their product line with (some say too frequent) regulari... 
Can anyone recommend a better rectifier tube?
I'm trying to persuade Sophia Electric to make a 5AR4/GZ34 rectifier tube that would replace the Mullard NOS in my Modwright LS100. I am already using Sophia's 6SN7's and they are wonderful. So, anyone else interested please send them an email and... 
Christmas Music and Audiophiles?
Not a big fan but my wife gets more leeway in choosing music around the holidays and she likes it so....Vince Guraldi and Diana Krall are passable but my favorite is Mindy Smith. Nicely done and worth checking out. 
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...
