Fats Domino missing
Unfortunately, one of the funniest threads this year. 
Tube Replacement: Single, Pair, or Quad?
Thanx Lak. I did that already. They want me to send all eight tubes in and they'll test them for $125 bucks. I'm 99.99% sure I know which one is bad. Newbee, unfortunately, I can only balance the whole quad. The manual states 175ma, Cary technicia... 
Too much bass
For what it's worth, I had a similar setup (Cary SLM-100 monos, ARC LS1, Von Schweikert VR4JR) and a similar problem. I solved 80% of the boomy bass problem through room adjustments (I have a dinky room and needed to absorbe bass waves) and Maples... 
Can I run my CD Player through a Phono Preamp?
Thanx Elizabeth. I meant the "pre pre." But, I understand now. 
Von Schweikert VR4JR & Tube Amp???
Thanx Mjcmt; I would agree with our assessment 100% and am working on the room as we speak. I did not know however that drop ceilings would accentuate bass? I thought bass was controlled or affected more from corner treatments. Can you expound on ... 
Can I run my CD Player through a Phono Preamp?
RIAA equalization...duh! Nevermind. 
Von Schweikert VR4JR & Tube Amp???
Drew, I agree, I just wanted more balance in my system. I had a $450 amp and $1000 worth of cables !? 
Von Schweikert VR4JR & Tube Amp???
Excellent advice and yes, I just re-read the manual and saw the part about the Dacron. Thanx much. 
Von Schweikert VR4JR & Tube Amp???
Thank you very much. I am between a pair of Cary SLM-100s or ARC Classic 150. Any epxerience with either of these? thanx again 
Audio Research Classic 150
Facinating! Thank you very much. I never would have guessed...Not to put you on the spot but, I was going to trade a pair of Cary SLM-100s. NOT, an upgrade right (If, you know)? Either way, thanx for your response. BTW, I searched the forums here ... 
ARC VTM120 Any thoughts?
Tomryan, can you tell me which spec/measurement will tell one what the current drive is for a particular amp? Also, are you implying that the Quicksilvers do NOT provide enough for you? Thanx 
ARC VTM120 Any thoughts?
Audiofeil, the more I research Quicksilver, the more intrigued I become. Currently, I see KT88, Mid, V4 and 100 Watt monos available here. Based on specs, the prices asked for these vary not in accordance with what I would expect. Could you rank t... 
ARC VTM120 Any thoughts?
Thanx JaFox. One of the things that appealed to me about the VTM120s was that they were probably less than 10 years old. I'm biased against buying something older than that. I just have that as a mental line in the sand. I have Von Schweikert VR4J... 
ARC VTM120 Any thoughts?
Ok now, I actually respect Audiofeil's opinion and appreciate the time he took to answer my thread. There's no such thing as a wrong opion - in my opinion. That's why we're all here. Right? Anyhow, JaFox, great post. I was actually poised to pull ... 
ARC VTM120 Any thoughts?
Geez Audiofeil. I don't understand how they could be that bad. Where does their good reputation come from? At least, I perceive them to have a good reputation. Do they do anything well??
