Western Electric new 300b reissue
Hope quality is equal to historic standards. Also, why aren't these in perpetual production?

I tried to "sign up" but could not. Gave up at that point... 
Klipsch La Scala diagnostics/repairs
You could contact voltiaudio@gmail.com. I think they started out upgrading Klipsch Classic models but are now selling their own creations. They may be able to help you or you might decide its time for something new (Volti's speakers very similar t... 
Cranberries singer passed away......
Liked her voice. R.I.P. 
When is your Hifi good enough?
My situation lately: When you rack your brain for the next "upgrade" and you can't think of a damn thing! 
McIntosh ma6900 a proper preamp to a Decware zen triode single endled tube amplifier?
Can't address your main issue. I will, however, advise you to try any new amp IN YOUR SYETEM before purchase. I recently lost substantial money buying a PrimaLuna Prologue integrated which I could hear humming (thru my La Scalla IIs) 12 feet away.... 
Bluray Hi Rez audio
mikhaelkuz: I may have been using toslink -will try RCA if I connect a TV. Also, what brand DAC do you use?

mikhaelkuz: My Yes set comes with a CD disk and a BluRay. Also included is a booklet that lists songs and their recording specs. I checked this afternoon to verify what I was talking about. Don't know why they recorded at different sampling rates... 
What solution to clean silver and gold contacts?
rodman99999: You may be right. I always clean off the tarn-x with alcohol when finished. I've been using 25+ years and have not seen any pitting. BTW, I'm pretty sure the air, in an urban environment, has cancer causing substances. I lived in a Ch... 
Your Thoughts on the BAT VK-3i
georgehifi: The tubes that came with my (used) VK-300SE were flaking out on arrival. I called ARC for replacements. They asked "which of our products will the tubes go into". I stated I'd be using BAT equipment. The new tubes arrived and went bad ... 
Bluray Hi Rez audio
mikhaelkuz: You're right, some songs are 24/96 but some are 24/192. I'm not sure the 24/96 light ever came on. I'd try to verify but some "genius" made a music disk that can only be played using a TV (I don't have a TV connected to my system). 
What solution to clean silver and gold contacts?
Gold does not oxidize so wipe gently with a soft cloth (not paper towel). Silver? Use a product called "Tarn-X". This chemically changes silver oxide (tarnish) back into silver. Works well on copper too...
