Best modern 6550 tube for ARC per-amp
There have been man anecdotal posts over the years regarding tube rolling in ARC Preamp’s, and the 6550 in their power supply definitely changes the sound....and I can “parrot“....ah I mean confirm, (😊) , this in my observation as well in my REF 6... 
Has anyone used the new Innuos 2.0 Sense music app? Compared it to Roon?
Ja-kub...Keeps updated on your progress, on a side note, how much do you like the Gustard 26 PRO..? 
Townshend Maximum Supertweeters
Romey80.....May I ask how you set up your Townshend ST? Were they on top of the speaker like Millercarbon? ( which would have them almost 6 feet of the floor)  or did you fabricate a stand to mount them approximately 3 feet off the floor, so they ... 
Townshend Maximum Supertweeters
MillercarbonHow are you able to get the Townsend ST to properly “ blend” with your Mohab? Aren’t the Mohab’s 9 dB more efficient than the Townshend? 
Klipsch Cornwall IV
Donsachs Thanks for your feedback. The Corn IV are amazing speakers, stock, once you get at least 50 hours on them, and they really start to open up at around 150 hours. I will eventually change out the caps and resistors, (and dampen the mid and ...

Donsachs.....Are the inductors air core or iron core.? If iron, shouldn’t they also be changed.....? 
Klipsch Cornwall IV
Donsachs.....Do you mind disclosing the cap values that you substituted, as well as the 30 ohm sand cast resistor ( 30 ohms, but what “watt value”) that you haven’t yet replaced . I want to order them for a friend who has the necessary skills to d...

For ARC lovers, Problems?
JRW 1971You mentioned your fuses blew twice on the 160S and the 160 was sent in for service and all was taken care of. I thought the new fuse arrangement on the latest series of ARC amps, like you have, wouldn’t require service if one of the fuses... 
Has anybody bought or heard a Chinese knock off amplifier?
HOBO 452Concur with your post......I just also recently acquired a MUZISHARE X7 Integrated Tube amp and it is indeed a superb device. Using it with an ARC 6SE PREAMP, as you can use the X7 as just an Amp (yes I know sounds absurd to use a $1400.00... 
Who has switched from a PS Audio BHK Preamp to something else?
The AUDIO RESEARCH 6SE also benefits from tube rolling......try some 6N6P in both the power supply and in the other areas where the 6N30 (“Super tube”) are used. Also replacing the 6550 in the power supply can yield positive results ....  The over... 
Schiit - shipments stopped?
I ordered a Sol turntable on Monday this week.....received it on Thursday.....They definitely are in business, but Covid is creating serious world wide percussions,... (beyond health issues.)....Cheers.......

Audio Research Reference Linestages
I had a conversation with someone at ARC, who is in a position to know, that in his opinion, with the exception of Dynamic capability (due to the dedicated power supply that the 10 has), the 6SE preforms at a slightly higher level in all other are... 
MHDT dac...and which streamer/server?
Big- Greg.....How does the VINCENT 237 INTEGRATED compare to some of your previous electronics.....especially the ARC INTEGRATED....
