ARC Galileo GSPre vs ARC Reference 5 SE ? ....
I've heard the Ref5 SE and loved it. A friend is head over heels with his Galileo gear and swears that it beats his previous Reference gear. As more gear gets out in the wild, we'll have a better handle on the sound. Exciting times. 
New KT150 tubes?
I totally understand. I was told flat out "no" for my ART monos and ARTsa. I don't mind because I love them the way they sound and I'll take the chance if I choose to install KT-150's in my amps. At least we know of some ARC users actually using t... 
New KT150 tubes?
Thank you David,Let's hope we all get some official good news this year regarding KT-150's. I plan on ordering my first quad as soon as the stores are open. I'm looking at another week or so before they are installed and singing. Happy new year ev... 
New KT150 tubes?
David,Thank you again. I appreciate your input very much and I am so happy you are enjoying the new sound. I have the ART monos and an ARTsa. I was also told no on the KT-150. I can't imagine them blowing up the amps but may affect ultimate longev... 
Speakers to hang on to for LIFE

Amplifier for Sonus Faber Guarneri EVO's
Roccl007,Beautiful system. I am sure it sounds wonderful. I had Evos and regret selling them. Enjoy them and your wonderful gear in great health. 
New KT150 tubes?
Dakingat55,Please keep us updated on how your amps are doing with the KT-150's. I'm too chicken to try them right now.Thanks! 
Hegel H30 owners
My H30 is amazing. Playing it through my Harbeth 40.1's and I absolutely love the sound. Full, meaty tone with tremendous 3D. Slightly sweet top end and articulate bass. Big and wide sound stage with depth. You can not ask for a better value. Unle... 
Good 6922 tube for my CJ ET-3 SE pre-amp?
My friend and I both have GAT preamps. We have pretty much settled on Gold Lions. Never an issue, sound really good and last a long time. 
Best 845 SET mono amps?
Bump.Anyone compare the Cary 805AE amps to the ones mentioned. I am seriously hooked on the SET sound having purchased a Line Magnetic LM-219IA amp. It is wonderful and I wonder what else I can expect from something "better" if that's possible. I ... 
Who else is waiting for a pair of Harbeth 40.1's ?
I am told that there is a parts shortage causing the delay. 
Anyone have/ordered the Job 225?
I don't recommend the Job 225 for the Apogee Centaur. Maybe the mono blocks by years end. 
Has anyone paired Ayre with Raidho
A friend is using the Ayre VX-5 with D3 and it sounds AMAZING! He's adding the companion preamp soon and I expect quality to go up. 
Want seperates and have an integrated Mcintosh
I totally agree with Ghasley. The McIntosh MC452's (and MC601's) are amazing amps and I feel you will notice the difference right away in your setup. You could always add a preamp later or go direct to the amp if your source allows.
