One reason very wealthy people rarely have a high-end system may be that they aren’t as passionate about music as are we. 99% of my friends are not audiophiles and consider Bose high-end. At least 90% are NOT wealthy and majority live check to che... 
KT150 Tube Matching
When shopping for power tubes (NOT NOS), I look for dealers with higher quality and larger supply of tubes for a better match. Upscale states they pay extra for tubes with higher micromhos.  ARC is 2x price of Upscale ... don't think you can go ... 
Has anyone tried these stunning new CPT power cord?
I got my modified CPT 300s back and after 8 days of break in, inserted in the system yesterday and very please with the results.   The mod is relatively inexpensive and will provide more details after more hours on them.

What sensible audiophile would pay 100K for an amp, even if he could afford it? Or maybe that's the wrong question. I don't have any idea who would pay 100K for an amp, do you? Does that deep pocket audiophile plan to buy a 100K amp when he upgra... 
Boulder monoblock 2150
orpheus10  Now we seem to have an abundance of 20K tonearms, and 10K cartridges, plus speakers and amps costing over 100K. Personally, I don't believe their systems sound any better than a long time audiophile's rig who has spent a lifetime obtai... 
Resale value
I'm not an impulse buyer so whatever I buy, plan to keep for a while so resale value is not a factor in my purchasing decision.When time to sell, I'm comfortable with the losses.   I'm worth it!

Has anyone tried these stunning new CPT power cord?
@jmcgrogan2, Thanks for the support. Kind of funny, when I approach my dealer about the mod, turns out he has a CPT 300 and already performed the mod I was considering.  :-):-)lak, worldwidewholesales, will report results after settle in my system.  
Has anyone tried these stunning new CPT power cord?
lak , I have 2 CPT Equi=Core 300. I tried them on VAC SigMKIIa SE preamp, Lampizator Atlantic, MW Sony HAP-Z1ES on both digital and analog and Weizhi PRS-6 feeding my sources.   Power cables have 450+ hours ... burn in 10 days on old CRT TV befo... 
Has anyone tried these stunning new CPT power cord?
I will say that CPT cords are anything but AVERAGE. We have tested them against most of our reference power cords and we are at 94 power cords tested, there is nothing average about CPT cords. By far one of the best power cords we have tested, u... 
Has anyone tried these stunning new CPT power cord?
CPT Equi=Core 300s performance is AVERAGE in my system so instead of selling, I decided to modify them.   Just got them back and will report once burned in. 
Should I consider the newer Audio Research pre & power amps, when I play records not CD's
Should I consider the newer Audio Research pre & power amps, when I play records not CD’s YES!!! ARC is better than ever ... Life is short and you only live once so go for it IF you can afford it. I’m in the camp who ever goes with the most t... 
To Bi-Wire or use Jumpers?
@brian27b If you like your Tellurium Q, buy another pair.   From my experience with 3 different speakers, 2 pairs of speaker cables offered the best bi-wiring result.
