Thanks Ozzy, I will give them a call.  Tonight I raised the RR-888 from a height of 5' to 5'9".  Nice improvement.  I feel like I'm really dialing this thing in.  Prior to the RR-888, I thought I had a pretty good soundstage.  Now, it has simply e...

Lynette,Yes, the KingRex PSU is now over $400.  If that's what I have to spend that's ok, but I'm trying to research (with the help of fellow A'gon members) if the less expensive PSU's, for the RR-888, would work just as well.I will try some diffe...

Lowrider57, thanks for your suggestions but I have one question.  How do I find the specs on my RR-888?  I've looked but can't find any info on its specs.  The only specs I can find is on the walwart PSU that came with the unit.  Printed on the wa...

I really appreciate everyone's comments / suggestions. As I have said in some posts above, I replaced the tubes in my Audible Illusions L3, and that did solve my hiss issue. Now, I'm addressing a low level hum, that I feel is directly attributable...
