Dead Can Dance New LP "into the labrynth"
Sorry for the very late response here........we moved and my new pressing is on its way. I will update shortly 
Upgrade path the same for cables ?
I think the best statement on this thread, is that it's just wire dude. Nothing more. But that is what pays for ads in magazines and keeps us off track, which is the music. Although I do have to admit I almost fell off the couch with laughter at t... 
Best amp for NHT Classic 3
i'm a little late to this thread as usual, but i just picked up a pair of 3's and hooked them up to my Rogue Audio Cronus Magnum and wow!!! Silky smooth with everything in spades! And that is with the EL34's @ 55 watts, not the KT90's at 90 watts....

Samhar, I was not directing the toy comment to you. Many apologies if you took it that way, it was directed to another contributor that called my TT a "toy". Your comments are more than respected and appreciated.

Pubul57, I heard a pair of the Harbeth Compact 7's with my wife at my local dealer in New Orleans and we were both very impressed. Now keep in mind, it was being driven by top notch ARC gear, but none the less I was shocked at the sound coming fro...

"Inna" bad mood? Funny, Some dudes that have been in the vinyl bizz for longer than I have been alive strongly recommend the P5 over the P7 as the increase in cost does not justify the return on performance, i.e. Michael Freemer and Art Dudely ht...

Thanks for the wide variety of responses. One thing I should not is the room is set up quite differently than the pics show.......sorry for any confusion. I the ML's firing long ways in the room which is 14' x 19' with velvet curtains behind and r... 
Martin Logan Aeris i's with Rogue Cronus Magnum
Mark at Rogue is a wealth on info and he assured me the 4 ohm taps are best practice, I was just curious. I've got a spare pair of small Brit monitors (Monitor Audio MA100's early 90's vintage, made in UK, not China) and hooked them up for grins. ...

What about using the 8-Ohm taps, is that not so good with regard to damaging the amp? I'm new to tubes, so forgive my ignorance. Thanks J!! 
Goldlion KT77 vs KT90's
The center tube is a "Rogue" picked upgrade Mullard tube. One thing I want to don't want to illude to is that the KT90's did not sound great, because they did, I was just shocked at how good the EL34's sounded especially with my relatively hard to... 
Rougue
I also spoke to Rogue and they recommended to try the Goldlion KT77 instead of the KT90's. Yes, less power but more "tubey" sound. I tend to trust these guys as they are always spot on. Anyone tried these tubes? 
Rougue
i did rebias the new tubes and am very surprised at their performance despite nalmost half the power.
