Impedance matching with tube amp
I owned a ARC REF 3 pre amp , output imp 100 K , poweramp Sphinx PJ26 , input imp 600 Ohm , at the balanced input . I had a lack of the lower registers , finaly I bought two BAT VK1000 poweramps , marriage in heaven ! 
BAT POLL...
I 'm a happy owner of B & W 800 Nautilus , with the poweramp BAT VK 1000 ( two monoblocks ) do the biwire option for each block , so one 500 for the lower , the other for the mid /heigh .Together with an ARC REF 3 SE ,its a marriage in heaven 
Need a new amplifier. Need a good match for my Audio Research LS7 preamp
Beware that the LS7 needs a poweramp with at least an input impedance of 60 kOhm , normally a tube poweramp has 100kOhm , just look at the specs of the ARC tube poweramps .

What is more accurate , the fozgometer or the diplay of the oscilloscoop
I like to thank you all for your input , I do think now the fozgo is a very accurate tool , that is the question now for me can you adjust yourcartridge in the way that left and right output are exactly the same ?My problem is the Dynavector te ka... 
ARC PH 3 running Balanced through ARC BL 1 Atributes?
I have gathered information by the importer in the Netherlands , he told me its an too old product , it will sure not be a good solution .Myselfdoes not consider this option . 
How long will tubes last in a pre-amp?
In my ARC REF 3SE I replaced all the small tubes by 6H30P-DR ,they should last more than 10.000 hrs. 
Border Patrol Power Supplies
hello jond , it 's a really upgrade using the borderpatrol , I'm using one with my modified ARC PH5 phono , only  the high voltage input is used .You have to convert the output of the borderpatrol to match the HV inputof the amp. you like to use .
