| Genelex Gold Lion KT-88 reissued tubes Don, I have no experience with the Tungsol 6550s but a lot of experience with Sovtek and Svetlana Winged "C" 6550s in my ARC M300 MkII amps (the "C"s were excellent, Sovteks suck ;--) Here's my take: ARC amps, although they will work with KT88s, w... | |

| Genelex Gold Lion KT-88 reissued tubes Don, my new McIntosh MC 275 Mk IV came with Russian Svetlana "S" KT88's (branded 'McIntosh', but that's what they are) and they sound wonderful, 'course I haven't heard anything else (yet) but I've no complaints. Mac also uses Electro Harmonix KT8... | |

| Leveling a suspension 'table First, it would be good if you have adjustable spikes on the rack that go through the carpet and bite into the concrete subfloor. Then, if that's not enough, get/make another shelf out of some heavy material (like butcher block) and set it level o... | |
| SS vs Tube Preamps Gsm, FWIW, my basic philosophy of system composition is this:1.) Use excellent SS gear up front for precision and transparency. Besides, tube preamps and tube phono preamps always produce some tube hiss. And unfortunately, electrostats or other hi... | |

| Exactpower Ep15a or PS-Audio p500 Zaikes, I echo everything you said (and vice versa ;--) including power amp sounding even better through the EP.I also wanted to mention a good reason to have the regenrator and balanced power unit as separates: The regenerator can/should go near ... | |
| Exactpower Ep15a or PS-Audio p500 Cytocyle -- point taken. The result however is the same as a unit that regenerates ALL the AC it provides, but with much less power loss (and heat). So I guess technically, it should be called a "power correction" device. For me, the charm is that... | |
| Exactpower Ep15a or PS-Audio p500 The Exactpower EP-15A has three times the capacity of the P500 and is a TRUE regenerator. It makes virtually no heat because unlike all other similar units, it doesn't "throw away" the entire incoming power, but "fixes" only the part(s) that are i... | |
| Do your speakers have the clap? The best recorded hand clapping I've heard is on a Dave Grusin album called "Migration". The last five bands are a suite from his "Milagro Beanfield War" soundtrack. The last track, "Fiesta" has the best audiophile hand clapping I know ;--). | |
| Boxing and shipping BIG speakers? Whats best? Forget UPS. Go to Google and type in:atlanta packaging shipping cratingYou'll get quite a list of experienced shops that'll do it right. Many will pick them up and handle the shipping as well. With those units, I would recommend you ship by common... | |
| Brothers in Arms 1/2 Speed Mastered Metralla is right. Any vinyl pressing is going to be a DAA at best (digital recording, analog master, analog pressing) but more likely a DDA (digital recording, digital master, analog pressing) so you wouldn't really be getting anything special fo... | |
| Hearing loss and audio reviewers ? READ ON And other than Keith Lockjaw and Michael Tilson Tom Tom, most orchestra conductors are over 70. How do they do their jobs with such limited hearing? And Beethoven -- well, let's not go there . . . . . . . . . |
