BAT VK 5i and tubes, how to chosse?
Hey Larryken-Just swapped out the JAN Philips 6L6WGB's for the hard to find and awesome Tung Sol 5881/6L6. These are USA NOS from about 1958 vintage according to dates and test better than new. WOW!!! What a smooth sound from these. Easily the bes... 
CD input in Audio Reserach
Do not worry:)There is a resistor across that input that lowers the gain, It is factory and is not damaged. Give ARC a call and speak to Leonard . He can tell you the details.:) (763) 577-9700 
Looking for an outstanding DAC
How about Audiomeca's own Enkianthus DAC.. I have heard great things about it. Pricy, but used is always nice for price. 
Good match for Adcom 555?
I will second the Vandersteens. I ran The 555MkII with a Conrad Johnson PV-7 pre amp and Vandy 2Ce. Very good sound and synergy for the bucks.--Ken 
B&W Matrix vs Nautulis

sheep's wool vs. polyfil
BAAAA...You are not the fool. Many hi end speaker manufactures use wool for their bass cavities. Although the trend more recently is synthetic blends like Dacron's fiberfill.( Von Schweikert and others) Check out the Meadowlark web site( www.Meado... 
Time to reflect - why do you post on Audiogon.....

Remastered Supertramp? Crime of the Century?
Right, Quite Right, Bloody Well Right! 
Remastered Supertramp? Crime of the Century?
My listening impression is that the re mastered version is significantly better than the original, and I have both. I also have the MoFi LP, but that is not as good.( not as dynamic) The original LP is close, and the Japanese LP is even better tha...
