Buy tubes from Audio Research or not
I own the LS26 and the VS115. Would I be ok purchasing a matched pair of 6H30-DR's from a tube supplier for the LS26 and the VS115 (Vs115 takes 2 matched pairs). The VS115 also takes 4 matched pairs of 6550C's and are very $$ from ARC. Thanks. 
Sonus Faber Domus GP vs ProAc Response 2.5
I listened to both and my personal preference was the 2.5's. Yes, I purchased a pair. Listen to both and good luck. 
Heard or experienced Audio Research D300 SS Amp
Bob,I am a huge believer in synergy. I think the only way you are going to know if that fits into your system is by trying it yourself. Looking down your list of equipment I see various names that I am using. I am running ARC LS26 with MIT, Esoter... 
ARC LS26 power cords, interconnects, tweaks
I am using the LS26 with MIT Shotgun S1's (XLR) and Virtual Dynamics Masters LE 2.0 power cords. Sound is awesome. Thanks Jim. 
Proac Response 2.5 vs D25 vs D28
I was looking at my digital copy (July 2008) and did not see the review. Perhaps I missed it. 
Proac Response 2.5 vs D25 vs D28
From your rating Birdies you give the D28 the nod. 
What is a good combination for Proac Res 2.5?
Since the last post, I have made a couple of decisions. I recently purchased the ARC LS26 PRE and will also be purchasing the ARC VS115 AMP. I think this combination will be well suited for my Proac Response 2.5's. 
Supporting Heavy Virtual Dynamics Power Cords
A couple of other folks have e-mailed me their suggestions and like I said earlier it will be a combination of ideas. I like the idea of wrapping some quality electrical tape around the IEC. This will make the connection a lot tighter. Bending the... 
Supporting Heavy Virtual Dynamics Power Cords
Thanks for the tips so far folks. Some very good ideas. Perhaps a combination of a few tips will work.Thorman - I like thing about the old woman - LOL.Regards,Michael 
Virtual Dynamics
I have gone from David to Nite Platinum to Master LE 2.0 for power cords for my 2CH. Incredible cables and great people to deal with. At some point I will probably compare the speakers cables and IC's (all MIT Shotgun S1) to Master LE 2.0. 
Downsizing from Audio Research REF110 to 100.2
Just curious - What are you using as a source? Very few people report a disconnect with Proac and ARC. 
Audio Research Ref210 vs Ref300 vs VTM200
Thanks as well Dave for all your information. I have just purchased a LS26 and will also purchase a VS115 in the near future. Together the LS26 & the VS115 should adequately power my Proac Response 2.5's. It's as close as I could get to the RE... 
Shunyata vs. Virtual Dynamics power cords
I have just upgraded all my power cords from the Nite Platinum series to the Masters LE 2.0. Amazing powers cords. Now it's just a matter of comparing the IC's and speakers cables to my MIT SHotgun S1's. 
What is a good combination for Proac Res 2.5?
I am wondering if the ARC VT100 would be sufficient or would the VT200 be any better for the Proac Response 2.5's. I am not sure which one to go after. Any thoughts?
