Break in period for power conditioners ?
Try plugging the amp directly into the wall and see what you get.

Of course they will come back to give me another -2,-2... Thanks guy. 
Proceed HPA-2 w/Electrostatic speakers?
I use it, but just on some Aerius. I haven't heard the Pass myself but hear from others that they are great. At this price point though you are in another league all together from the Proceed and would have to compare something like the Levinson 3...

Oh yea, they do the disappering thing when ever you ask for a list of the equipment they use, or have heard. It's a pretty easy qestion.

I have used the PV10 first in my main system, then retired to the bedroom system. In the main rig it was to a Proceed HPA2 and now in the bedroom to a Sonagraph ( Entry CJ gear ) amp. Interconnects where Transparent "super" for both systems. This ... 
Are you manufacturer's paying attention?
-2,-2 for telling the truth? Give me a break. I suppose it is too much to ask for an actual reply or something else of intelligence. 
Are you manufacturer's paying attention?
The high end companies will not put out lower priced components because that will lower the " Value " of their name, or they just find they can't produce what they feel the name deserves under the restrictions of that budget. They can't deflate th... 
How can you tell when tubes are shot?
Let us know how it sounds. 
How can you tell when tubes are shot?
