Why are Kitty Kat Revelators so invisible?
I've never even heard of them. There's been dozens of posts about speakers that work well in close proximity to a rear wall. I'm sure you could dig some of them up. Of course rear ported speakers are out of the question so you can start there. I u... 
Hegel h200 low level listening
Thank you. I don't listen too low and prefer to listen at higher levels as yourself. We have similar taste in music. I just get a little grief from my wife occasionally and wanted to make sure something like a channel didn't drop out at very low l...

I agree about keeping the Rogue. I love the Rogue and by keeping it, I can get a new top plate and KT120's for a mere $300 and then I'll have several options available for my listening pleasure. 
tv stand for pass labs amp?
I'm not sure you're going to find what you're looking for for less than $2500. That's a lot of gear and you need something that's going to last. The Billy Bags Pro 68 would work perfect for your scenario but it costs just about what you're not wil...

Thanks Ghosthouse. I truly understand why this integrated gets so much praise. It's the first ss integrated I've heard that makes me want to unplug my Rogue and put it back in the box. With better case work they could fetch $10k for H200. 
Dedicated circuit
"What's your checklist of instructions for the electrician when doing the install? I've seen other threads on this."My instructions are to do the install. I always provide everything. They only provide labor. I do dictate the pathway but after tha... 
Girlfriends and wifes, how do YOU cope?
Get a dog. My wife wants me to get a solid state integrated so we can leave it on for the dog while we're at work. She wants to keep the tubes as well. I'm going to listen to a slightly used Marantz 11s2 tomorrow afternoon on behalf of my dog Oscar. 
Dedicated circuit
I had a dedicated 20a circuit installed with a Porter Port receptacle.I noticed a slight difference but not as big a difference as when I added a nice power cord to my amp a year later.

My portability solution is the JBL Charge. The battery lasts for 12 hours and you can connect your phone via bluetooth or with a cable.It sounds very nice considering it's the size of a 16 ounce beeer can. It comes with a very nice carrying case a... 
Miss ya Jerry Garcia - it hasn't been the same
Where did the time go? I'm glad those days are over for me but I miss them, and I wish Jerry were still around. '87 or '88 was the last shows I attended. 
What dealer/distributor has influenced you most?
The Analog Shop.

What are you using for amplification? Have you considered the Harbeth P3esr? It's more expensive but it might suit your needs. 
Luxman 505u vs. McIntosh 6300
I agree with Dayglow. Maybe you could find a used l-507u or the McIntosh MA6600. I haven't heard the Marantz but might get a chance to. This is the best description I've ever read of the differences between the Luxman and Mac from member Windriver... 
Primaluna prologue 2 based system upgrade
I forgot to mention that I had an electrician run a dedicated circuit for it. That's a very, very big deal. If your wife is blow drying her hair on the same circuit, that's not good. 
Primaluna prologue 2 based system upgrade
I upgraded my wall outlet to a Porter Port and at the same time upgraded my power cord to an Audioquest something or another that cost me around $450. I think the Porter Port was $50. For my Rogue Cronus Magnum it was a noticeable difference. I do...
