JC1 upgrade to Lamm M2.2 or dartzeel 108B or Ayre?
My 2 cents? I've owned Dartzeel (and really miss it). I currently own 40.1's, SF Strads, Conrad Johnson ART monos and ARTsa with a GAT. You CJ preamp with the Dartzeel will be outstanding on the 40's. No doubt. Power with the Dartzeel should be en... 
Devialet 400 dual-mono, opinions anyone?
I'll be demoing a D400 in a couple of weeks in my system. I am so looking forward to finally hearing one and hope that all the reviews are even remotely correct. :)

A friend of mine just received his GSpre. I know it's probably too soon for him to say definitely but he thinks it's as good or better than the REF 5se but the REF 10 still beats both.

Gpgr4blu,Thank you for that. Makes perfect sense. BTW, I love the "sotto voce" comment. :)

I understand. The dust will eventually settle. I am sure you will get better performance for just the cost of the tube upgrade. I am sure ARC will publicly bless the amps. I am sure they are just being conservative.My Conrad Johnson ART monos cost...

ALL manufacturers charge more for THEIR tubes. That is NOT the point. Time is money and they all charge for their time and testing. I bet your KT-120's cost more from ARC too. Time marches on and improvements happen everywhere. There's no conspiracy.

Trust the source. I've seen the document from ARC myself. They are blessing the KT-150 but really want you to buy from them at some point. I have it on great authority that Kevin Deal - Upscale Audio is one of the better (best) places to order you... 
how to adjust bias for kt77 tubes in Jolida 302
Can you bias other tubes like EL-34's properly with the EZ bias lights? Is there a switch on the back to change the bias voltage for other tube sets? 
New KT150 tubes?
That info is from here:http://audioshark.org/audio-research-corporation-arc-36/arc-amps-kt150s-6541.htmlI am sure tubes from ARC will be a premium but probably matched better.
