systems seems to be playing slowly, need thoughts
I just dont understand how the power conditioner can fix all the ills listed above...If the power was the issue, it would have been a permanent problem...Conditioner fixing timing issues...wow!! 
tube amps or amps between $1000 and $2000
I would also suggest Berning EA-230's...I have driven many different speakers with them and performed wonders.

Interesting.....I am debating selling the Quads, that could free up some cash..;-)
