| Matching an Amp With ARC Reference 6 and GoldenEar Triton Ones If your volume control is potentiometer based (mine is resistor ladder), you want it to be past the 12 o’clock position for best sound. If you speakers have powered subwoofers, I'd go with a medium-power Class A amp. | |

| Sony SCD-777ES, Oppo UPD-205 or Marantz SA-KI Ruby @dcaudio - Interested to know what you feel is lacking in your Oppo 205? Mine is so resolving that I can't imagine anything sounding better. I'm not saying there is nothing better, I just haven't heard it (yet). Thanks | |
| Are there any audiophile Air BnB's? Anything can be arranged if you’ve got the Do-Ray-Me. I left a comment on one of Uncle Kevin’s posts (Upscale Audio) suggesting this very idea. | |

| Audio Research I/50 @runwell - I too owned the VT-100 III. Also the Mk-I and a Classic 60 (the good old days!). I never used them with a preamp that matched their quality, however so never heard them at their best. If you are worried about tube failure, just replace ... | |
| Audio Research I/50 Yes. All of these factors figure into the total lifespan. Some more than other. At the time, I was playing music 4-5 hours a day (more on weekends) and got about two years from ARC factory tubes. You can probably compare tube bias to the idle spee... | |
| Audio Research I/50 @runwell - "And I think it is pretty shorter than normal. But I do not know why." I believe the higher the bias, the shorter the tube life. All of my ARC amps had about a two-Year tube life (6550s). Carver's latest tube amps use a much lower bi... | |

| Does your system sound change with the seasons? Do you listen more in the Winter? This would keep your capacitors nicely charged. I sometimes go weeks without listening to my main system and things sound a bit thin and unresolved the next time I hear it. | |

| A different world I think someone should come up with a "Broker" app that will find what you want to hear if it isn’t on your primary service. @ghdprentice - Since you have the expertise, can you create a You Tube video to explain the streaming world? I know I’d f... |
