Which Sub. Rel B-1 or Fathom F-113
JoeyI have a very good friend who has the TOL Rel in his system and each time he listens to my setup he just shakes his head and smiles.As far as cables I have ~$50K of cabling in my system so I am very familiar with cables and you are preaching t... 
Which Sub. Rel B-1 or Fathom F-113
Not true, the Rel subs are more musical and also faster. They integrate better with high end speakers. If you are going 2 - channel get the Rel. Nothing loads a room better than a Rel! I dont think you will need the brute force of the JL, which is... 
Which Sub. Rel B-1 or Fathom F-113
Once you own the Fathom you will lust for the Gotham. IMO the JL Audio subs are the ones by which all others are judged. You won't be as happy with the RelI run a pair of Gothams in my system. 
Preamps with two pairs of balanced outs?
Whichever one you go with I highly recommend that you do the math inasmuch as you will be running two loads in parallel. If both pairs of amps have the same input impedance you probably will be OK but if they have different input impedance I would... 
Lamm ML1.1 & ML 2.1
Thanks JasonI figure the only way to get these Lamm ML3's is to part with my SL55. 
Lamm ML1.1 & ML 2.1
I love driving performance cars and in fact own one. They are fun to drive but cost of the luxury with insurance and maintenance etc goes without saying.For music lovers however, to sit in the sweet spot and listen to the music delivered by the ML... 
Lamm ML1.1 & ML 2.1
The ML3, like the Porsche is something one would own for a lifetime. The amps he sent on loan are S/N 0001 and 0002. 
Lamm ML1.1 & ML 2.1
Hi JasonI too have the ML 2.1 and IMO it is the finest amp I have ever owned UNTIL I heard Vladimir's new ML Reference 3 which he was kind enough to send on loan for aaudition. Simply put the ML 3 is the amp by which all others will be compared. I... 
Review: Wilson Audio X-2 Alexandria Speaker
I am curious to know who, if any, have sent their X-2's back to Wilson Audio for the Series ll upgrade. I wanted to do the upgrade but only if field upgradeable. This unfortunately cannot be done and I would find it very difficult for my room to b... 
ARC Ref 3, Rowland Concerto, or Capri line stage?
Guidoyou and I know all too well that their are many terrific preamps out there BUT IMO "all" pale in comparison to the Ref3 
Hum in ARC Ref 3 not on 0 but 1-103 light buzz
BroederenI forwarded the name of the dealer to you by way of e-mail 
Hum in ARC Ref 3 not on 0 but 1-103 light buzz
BroederenA simple solution that I use in my system when I added the pair of Gotham subs and was thus driving 2 loads in parallel via the Ref 3---thus creating some strain on the Ref 3 was to add the Tube Buffer and its separate Power Supply from M... 
ARC Ref 3: Tung-Sol 6550 in power supply?
I hate to be repetitive but IMO there is absolutely no reason to use any other than the ARC recommended tubes 
ARC Ref 3: Tung-Sol 6550 in power supply?
I'll say again GuidoStick with what ARC gives you 
Hum in ARC Ref 3 not on 0 but 1-103 light buzz
Well, if the cheater plug failed to relieve the hum, then IMO it is not a ground loop hum
